How to Use Tattoo Paper for Inkjet & Laser Printers
Something about temporary tattoos just screams nostalgia. Remember being a kid and begging your parents for a couple quarters to get them from the sticker machine at the local bowling alley or arcade? Now you can skip bargaining chores for coins from Mom and Dad, and you can create your own custom temporary tattoos at home, and it is much easier than you think!
After you print your design of choice on our special paper, you will use scissors, or your cutting machine's print and cut option, to trim around you design before applying it like a traditional temporary tattoo. These tattoos typically last one to days, are can easily be removed with warm water and a wash cloth.
These make a great addition to any birthday party, kid's gift, sporting event or celebration, and they are a super fun promotional and marketing tool. When you can create your own design, the options of how and where you use your temporary tattoos are endless!
