Silhouette Media-Tattoo Temporary Tattoo Paper

OVERALL: Great product! Will last you well over a day, even through brushing against people and repeated movement. It was very simple to use. For all my future temporary tattoo needs, I would purchase this product again.PROS: The process to print out a tattoo was very straightforward. I recommend test printing on regular sheets of paper to make sure you know which side your printer will print the image. There is a glossy and a matte side, and you want to print your image on the glossy side. Print it with your printer's photo settings (I didn't and it turned out fine, but it is recommended by the manufacturer). Instructions recommend an inkjet printer, but I used an office laserjet printer and it worked just as well. Once you print your image, wait until the ink has dried and then very carefully apply the adhesive film to the sheet. This is how your tattoo will stick to your skin. With extra help, I was able to do it with minimal air bubbles. Application was a BREEZE. With a damp towel, I applied the tattoo and it transferred to my skin instantaneously. No slip and slide like with some other temporary tattoos. Just make sure your towel is generously soaked with water. Once applied, it was still a little sticky but after airdrying, it didn't budge!CONS: ONLY COMES WITH TWO SHEETS! I thought it came with at least four, which is what I needed, but I didn't read quite as closely as I should have before purchasing. Ended up working out fine for my situation, but for those looking to test print tattoos or have larger pieces they need to print, buy multiple! For a full sleeve application, the paper is stiff. Make sure either with your print or your cut that you account for the curve of your arm. Don't try to apply the full sheet to your arm. Otherwise, it may not apply straight-on. When printing with a laserjet, you may find that upon application, some of your ink will still peel up off the sheet. Spots of my black ink came up when I peeled the plastic film, but it wasn't that noticeable when I applied it to the skin. Also, this thing is really effective at staying put. After a full-day's wear, I went to shower and take it off. Like the directions said, I used warm water and soap. Since I had a full sleeve, I removed it in the shower and used a loofah. It hardly peeled. I had to scrub really hard to get it to start to come off, but since I had a full sleeve, it started to tug at my arm's peach fuzz (which was a little painful). At that point, my arm started to get red. It's been two days and there are still little bits and pieces remaining on my arm.

Good stuff. I used this to print out small tattoos as well as tiny nail decals, and both worked very well.Printing:No issues with smearing of the printer ink (color inkjet). Images came out clear, even for the <1/4" images. I was worried about having trouble applying the adhesive sheet and left margins on all edges, but I totally didn't need to. Both sheets went on near perfectly. I ended up doodling in the tattoo sheet margins with a permanent marker so that I could maximize my tattoos. Even those worked!Adhesive sheet:No issues at all, and it was easy. After peeling off the small rectangle of backing, I was able to easily line up the two sheets and press them together at the bottom. From there, I slowly rolled off the backing and used a credit card to smooth it out/apply pressure to adhere from the center out. This whole process went very smoothly. No air bubbles, no accidental sticking. The backing came off very easily and smoothly.Application:I cut my tattoos out with scissors. My tiny tattoos released from the paper backing very quickly, and were so easy to apply. If you decide to use these as nail decals, be sure to smooth them down to squeeze out any water or air bubbles before the tattoo dries!Longevity:I haven't had these on for too long, but they seem to be doing okay so far. I applied a small tattoo about 8 hours ago on my wrist, and it has withstood a half-dozen gentle hand washings. The nail decals did not bleed or shift when applying a topcoat, and are thin enough that I can't feel them through the dried polish. You can faintly see the outline of where I trimmed the tattoos, but it's not too obvious.Overall:I am super happy with these sheets! They were a ton of fun to use, and although expensive (you only get two sheets), I would get them again.

Seems a bit pricey for 2 sheets but works well for a temporary tattoo! Wouldn’t recommend if you want the tattoo to last more than a day

For the price, you can't complain—it definitely did its job! I used it to make fun little tattoos for an event and some bachelorette stickers. Ordering a set of these would have cost over three times as much. I didn’t change any printer settings, just did a test print and then followed the directions, and the papers printed easily. The rest of the application was just as simple! They turned out a little blurry, but still super cute!

While the product works great, the packaging by Amazon is less than effective. I ordered a first one and it arrived having been folded. This created creases in both sheets. I was only able to use one. I then had to order another set. Although not folded it appeared to have been bent in several places which caused it to catch in the printer, causing smears. Would be better if shipped with cardboard to help avoid damage.

Printed with no vivid color and crinkles in what was printed. This isn’t characteristic to my printer or this design, so this product doesn’t work.
