Glitter Tattoos

 

         Perfect for Pool Parties.  Glitter Tattoos last longer and do not wash off in the water.                   SEE MORE 

Glitter and Mica Tattoos are a fairly new form of temporary body art taking the world by storm! These temporary tattoos are custom applied by hand, they are not a sticker. The appearance of the tattoo is a little like an airbrush tattoo, but much more glittery and lasts longer! First the artist applies an adhesive stencil, then a cosmetic adhesive. Cosmetic grade glitter is then applied, in whatever blend of colors you choose, then the stencil is removed and you have a beautiful sparkly tattoo that is waterproof and will last 3-5 days! For a Mica Tattoo, instead of the glitter the artist applies cosmetic mica powder (like mineral makeup, but intensely pigmented) for a matte or slightly shimmery tattoo which looks very realistic, is waterproof, and lasts 4-7 days!

       How do I make my Glitter (or Mica) Tattoo last longer?

Glitter Tattoos are waterproof. You may swim, shower, and bathe as usual. However try to avoid rubbing or scratching the tattoo when it is wet, as it is glued to the top layer of your skin, which softens when wet, so if you rub hard the tattoo may come off.  Oils and alcohols break down the tattoo adhesive, so avoid putting lotion or sunscreen over the tattoo. Drinking alcohol may also speed the breakdown of the tattoo adhesive, as the alcohol is excreted through the pores of your skin. We give out aftercare cards with all of this info when we apply glitter tattoos, so your event guests will have all this information.

 

        How can I remove my Glitter Tattoo?

To remove a Glitter or Mica Tattoo, dampen the tattoo with rubbing alcohol or baby oil, allow it to sit a moment and soften, then rub gently with a cotton ball or cotton pad. This process may need to be repeated several times before the tattoo is completely gone.
