Temporary tattoos for parties and events turn any occasion into a memorable experience. Whether you're hosting a birthday, a themed party, a night out with friends or a group event, a matching set of tattoos instantly adds fun and a great talking point for photos. They're easy to apply, look realistic and disappear after the event. In this guide we give you ideas for every type of party and show you how to put together a great look for the whole group.
Ideas for every type of event
| Occasion | Tattoo ideas |
|---|---|
| Birthday | fun symbols, multiple small matching designs |
| Girls' night | flowers, butterflies, delicate motifs for the whole group |
| Themed party | designs that match the theme (boho, rock, festival) |
| Team event | a shared symbol worn by all participants |
| Night with friends | "matching" or group designs - see matching tattoos |
Why they work so well at parties
Semi-permanent tattoos are guaranteed fun, risk-free: they apply quickly, look like real tattoos and disappear on their own after a few days. They're an activity in themselves at a party - everyone picks their own design - and create that "squad" effect when several people wear matching designs. And because they're waterproof, they hold up through dancing, heat and fun right to the end (see waterproof tattoos).
How to put together a group look
- Choose a common theme (a style, a symbol, a palette of designs);
- Order in advance, so all designs arrive before the event;
- Apply them the day before, so they're at peak intensity (colour develops within 24-36 hours);
- Set up a "station" at the party with water and wipes for on-the-spot application.
