At Tattoo Fun, we believe self-expression should be easy, playful, and commitment-free! Our high-quality temporary tattoos let you show off your style, support your team, or promote your brand — all without a single needle. Whether you’re gearing up for a school event, festival, corporate activation, or family celebration, Tattoo Fun has you covered with designs that look real, feel great, and last for days.
But how exactly do these tattoos work — and what’s the secret to applying them perfectly? Let’s dive in.
What Are Temporary Tattoos?
Temporary tattoos are colourful designs printed on special transfer paper that can be applied to the skin with a little water and pressure. They’re completely safe, skin-friendly, and last anywhere from 3 to 7 days depending on where they’re applied and how well you care for them.
At Tattoo Fun, we specialise in:
- Water-transfer tattoos – our most popular type, printed in vibrant colour on safe, high-quality paper.
- Custom logo tattoos – ideal for brands, schools, and events that want a fun promotional giveaway.
- Kids’ tattoos – cute, colourful, and made with skin-safe ink that parents trust.
Our tattoos are printed right here in South Africa, ensuring top quality and quick turnaround times for small, urgent, custom orders. For bulk orders, we print at our facility in the USA. Lead time is longer, but unit prices are more cost-effective and the quality is second to none. Planning and ordering well in advance is mandatory.
How to Apply Your Tattoo Fun Temporary Tattoo
Applying your Tattoo Fun tattoo is quick and easy — just follow these simple steps:
You’ll Need:
–Scissors
–A damp cloth or sponge
–Clean, dry skin
Step-by-Step:
- Pick your spot
Choose a smooth, oil-free area such as your arm, wrist, or leg. - Cut out your tattoo
Trim close to the edges for a clean, professional finish. - Remove the clear protective sheet
Take care not to touch the printed design. - Place the tattoo face down on your skin
Make sure it’s positioned exactly where you want it — it’ll look so real, you’ll want it just right! - Dampen the backing paper
Press a wet cloth or sponge firmly over the paper for 20–30 seconds. Keep it still. - Peel away gently
Lift one corner carefully — if any part hasn’t transferred, press again for a few more seconds. - Let it dry
Give it a minute to set before touching it.
Pro Tip: For the longest-lasting results, avoid applying lotion, oil, or sunscreen before application.
How to Make Your Tattoo Fun Design Last Longer
- Apply to clean, dry, and smooth skin.
- Avoid areas that rub against clothing.
- Pat dry after showers — don’t rub.
- Avoid swimming or soaking for too long.
With good care, your Tattoo Fun temporary tattoo can stay bright and bold for up to a week!
Removing Your Tattoo Fun Tattoo
When you’re ready for a new look, simply remove your tattoo with:
