How glitter tattoos work
A glitter tattoo is a stencilled design: we place a stencil on the skin, apply a skin-friendly adhesive, and brush on fine glitter in silver, gold, colours, or amethyst shimmer. When the stencil lifts away, a crisp, sparkling design is left behind. It's quick, it doesn't smudge like paint, and it holds up well through a busy day of games and dancing.
Why hosts choose glitter tattoos
- Speed: designs are quick to apply, which suits long festival lines and big school events.
- Durability: they stay put better than face paint through play, hugs, and summer heat.
- Wide appeal: tweens, teens, and adults who might skip face painting often love a little sparkle.
- Easy to wear: arms, hands, and shoulders mean no fuss about makeup or sensitive faces.
Designs for every age
Popular choices include butterflies, stars, hearts, unicorns, dolphins, flowers, lightning bolts, and sports designs. For themed events we can match glitter colours to your party theme, school colours, or company branding colours. Glitter accents can also be added to face painting for extra shine.
Removal
Glitter tattoos generally last through the event and can be removed with gentle cleansing. As with all our services, if a guest has sensitive skin or known allergies, tell us in advance and we can do a small patch test.
Great for
Glitter tattoos fit right in at birthday parties and sleepovers, school fun days, festivals and community events, and company family days. Many hosts book glitter alongside organic henna so older guests can choose between sparkle and a traditional stain. With 10+ years of experience, our team can help you plan the mix.
