Find it. Love it. Keep it. Custom temporary tattoos are the promotional piece that lives on skin for a weekend — the festival wristline photographed at sunset, the school-fete cheek sticker, the sports-day face mark, the launch-party forearm that ends up on Instagram by Sunday. Sense2 has been briefing temporary tattoos for Australian agencies, brand teams and events, with full-colour digital printing, skin-safe FDA-compliant inks and thousands of 5-star Google reviews for turning the creative brief into something people actually want to wear.

Best for

Choose custom temporary tattoos if your moment is festival and event activations, sports days, fun runs and community events or brand launches and product drops.

Festival and event activations

Offer three or four tattoo designs on a single sheet at the activation booth — people choose, apply, and the brand walks around for the weekend. Metallic gold and glow-in-dark inks photograph beautifully after sunset.

Sports days, fun runs and community events

Cheek-sized logos or team colours in a single full-colour design. Fast application, no mess, and every finish-line photo carries the brand. We've briefed these for charity fun runs, AFL community days and school fetes.

Brand launches and product drops

A considered illustration — the campaign icon, a limited-edition motif, a bespoke typography mark — turns early adopters into brand ambassadors the moment they post the unboxing.

Kids' campaigns and family events

Character-led artwork, bright CMYK, rounded corners. Dermatologically tested and parent-approved. Ideal for retail activations, museum exhibitions, children's hospital fundraisers and holiday-program branding.

Staff culture and conference moments

The unexpected conference delegate gift — a small brand mark everyone wears on the lapel-side of a wrist through day two. Great for agency retreats, team offsites and milestone moments.

Our festival tattoos were the thing delegates posted without being asked — the illustration landed exactly as our campaign artwork, right down to the metallic gold. The Sense2 team understood the brand so quickly and the proof came back beautifully.

How to choose

Start with the artwork, not the sheet size — that's the part we love about a tattoo brief. Illustrations with clean linework, flat colour and strong contrast always translate best; watercolour gradients and photographic textures also print beautifully on our digital press but need a proof on skin first. Fine lines below 0.3mm can break up after application, so our creative team will bulk up hairlines during art setup if needed. Colour choice drives impact. Full-colour CMYK is standard. White ink matters enormously on darker skin tones — without it, pale colours disappear. Metallic gold and silver inks cost a little more per unit but photograph like real foil against skin. Glow-in-dark is worth the premium for evening festivals and night runs. On sizing: a cheek or wrist tattoo sits best at 40-60mm. Forearm and shoulder designs can run up to 100mm. Multi-image sheets (four to eight designs on one A6 sheet) give your audience choice and push the perceived value up without meaningfully changing your unit economics. MOQs start at 250 units for standard rectangular sheets and scale down in price sharply from 1,000. Custom die-cut shapes (a logo silhouette, a bottle outline, a campaign icon) need 1,000+ to be cost-effective. For pilot runs and agency mood-board presentations, we'll happily quote 100 on a short-run digital job. Lead time is 7-10 business days standard from artwork approval, with 72-hour express available on smaller full-colour runs when a launch date has shifted. Always, always order a sample — 48 hours from request. Holding the sheet, peeling the film, applying it to your own wrist is how the decision gets made.

Pricing guidance

Pricing rule of thumb: at 500 units full-colour digital print, standard rectangular sheets sit around AU$0.65-$1.20 per tattoo depending on size. Larger A6 multi-image sheets run AU$1.40-$2.20. Metallic gold or silver ink adds around AU$0.15-$0.30 per unit. Custom die-cut shapes add a one-time die fee of AU$85-$180 and typically need 1,000+ units to balance out. At 2,500+ expect 25-35% off the 500-qty tier. Artwork setup is AU$55-$95 once-off.

Delivery across Australia

Delivered Australia-wide in 7-10 business days standard from artwork approval — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra. 72-hour express available on smaller full-colour runs for launch-date rescues. Free shipping on orders over AU$500. We kit into activation packs, split-ship to multiple festival sites, and run timed-release dispatch for tour and roadshow schedules at no extra handling.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum order for custom temporary tattoos?

Standard rectangular full-colour sheets start at 250 units. Custom die-cut shapes typically need 1,000+ to balance the one-off die fee. For pilot runs, agency mood-boards or small launch events, we can quote short-run digital at 100 units. Larger briefs from 2,500 drop 25-35% from the 500-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote.

How long do temporary tattoos take to produce and deliver in Australia?

Standard lead time is 7-10 business days from artwork approval. 72-hour express is available on smaller full-colour runs when a launch date has shifted. We dispatch Australia-wide from our Sydney warehouse — Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra all arrive within the same national window.

Are your temporary tattoos skin-safe?

Yes. We print with FDA-compliant, dermatologically tested, non-toxic inks on skin-safe transfer paper. They are suitable for children and sensitive skin. Full safety documentation is available on request for school, hospital and government briefs. Tattoos wear 2-5 days and remove with oil or rubbing alcohol.

What printing and finish options do you offer?

Full-colour digital CMYK at 600dpi as standard, with white ink for designs that need to carry on darker skin tones. Metallic gold and silver inks are available, as is glow-in-dark for evening events. Custom die-cut shapes are produced at 1,000+ quantities. Our in-house design studio handles art setup, colour-matching and layout.

Can I see a sample before I order?

Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours. Pre-production samples with your actual artwork are available on larger runs. After 30 years of tattoo briefs, we know the decision is made when someone peels the film and applies it to their own wrist — never from the spec sheet alone.

What artwork format do you need?

Vector artwork (AI, EPS, PDF) is ideal. High-resolution PNG or TIFF at 600dpi with transparent background also works beautifully. Our in-house design studio can also work from supplied illustrations, photography or a creative brief — colour-matching to brand Pantones and bulking up fine linework where needed.
