Description
These are Pokemon temporary tattoos, 20 to a pack - non-toxic paper tattoo stickers that go on with a damp cloth and wash off again. At 20 per pack they are one of the cheapest party favours per child you can buy, and they are the one thing in the loot bag that gets used before the kids have left your driveway.
Every parent has done the loot bag maths. You need something for twelve kids, it has to cost almost nothing each, it cannot be lollies because three of the guests have allergies and two have parents who will mind, and it cannot be a plastic toy that will be broken or lost before dinner. Temporary tattoos solve all four problems at once. They are flat, they are cheap, they suit every age from three to ten, and unlike almost everything else in a party bag, kids actually want them immediately.

Why Tattoos Are the Best Value Party Favour
-
Twenty pieces covers a whole party - one or two per kid across a guest list of twelve still leaves spares, which is more than you can say for most favours at this price.
-
No allergy problem - unlike lollies and chocolate, there is nothing to check with anyone's parents and nothing to leave out of one child's bag.
-
They get used immediately - most loot bag contents get looked at once and forgotten. A tattoo goes on an arm at the party and stays visible for days.
-
Flat and cheap to post - paper tattoos weigh nothing, so ordering ahead costs you nothing in shipping and they store in a drawer until you need them.
-
They work outside the party too - classroom rewards, school fete prize bags, sticker charts, rainy-day distraction and long car trips.
How Do You Apply a Temporary Tattoo?
Cut around the design you want and peel off the clear plastic film on the front. Press the tattoo face down onto clean, dry skin - no moisturiser, no sunscreen, because oil is what stops it sticking. Hold a damp cloth or sponge firmly against the paper backing for about 30 seconds and make sure the whole back gets wet, then peel the paper away slowly from one corner. If any part has not transferred, put the paper back and wet it again for another ten seconds. Let it dry before anyone touches it. Flat, hairless areas like the back of the hand, the forearm and the upper arm give the cleanest result.
How Long Do Temporary Tattoos Last?
Usually a few days, though it depends far more on where you put it and what the child does than on the tattoo itself. On a forearm, expect several days. On a hand that gets washed twenty times a day, expect one. Swimming, scrubbing and sunscreen all cut the life short. If you want one to survive a specific event, apply it the morning of and keep it away from soap. To remove it deliberately, rub with baby oil, olive oil or a little rubbing alcohol on cotton wool and it lifts off in seconds without scrubbing.
What Else Goes in a Party Loot Bag?
The formula that works is one thing to wear, one thing to play with, one thing to eat and one thing to keep. Tattoos cover the first, and they are the piece most parents underrate. Add a small novelty toy, a couple of lollies or a small chocolate, and something like a sticker sheet or a pencil. Keep the bag itself cheap and the contents varied rather than spending everything on one item - kids judge a loot bag by how many separate things are in it, not by what any one of them cost. Two tattoos per bag from a pack of twenty covers ten kids.
Who Buys These
Parents assembling loot bags for a themed birthday, which is the main reason these move. Teachers and OSHC staff who need a low-cost reward that is not food. School fete and fundraiser committees filling prize bags. Grandparents and aunts who want something small to hand over that is not another toy. And parents of Pokemon-obsessed six year olds who have worked out that a pack of twenty tattoos buys more goodwill per dollar than almost anything else in the shop.
Pair It With
Tattoos are one item in the bag, not the whole bag. The 12pk Donut Lolly Loot Bags with 18 Stickers gives you the bags and a second favour in one order, and the 100pk Drawstring Favour Pouches is the bulk option if you are doing a fete rather than a party. For a Pokemon party specifically, the 5pc Pokemon Pikachu Foil Balloon Set is the matching decoration. Fill the rest of the table with the Happy Birthday Banner and Confetti Balloon Set, and turn shop-bought cupcakes into part of the theme with the 24pc Unicorn Cupcake Toppers or 24pc Minions Cupcake Toppers. If you need a second favour that costs nothing to post, 12pk Superhero Popcorn Boxes double as both a food container and a take-home.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many tattoos are in the pack?
Twenty. That is enough for one or two each across a typical party guest list, with spares for the inevitable one that gets applied crooked.
Are they safe for kids?
The material is non-toxic. As with any temporary tattoo, do not apply to broken, irritated or sunburnt skin, avoid the face and eye area, and test a small patch first if a child has sensitive skin.
How do you get them off?
Baby oil, olive oil or rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball, rubbed gently for a few seconds. Do not scrub with soap and a face washer - that irritates the skin long before it shifts the tattoo.
How long do they last?
Typically a few days. Forearms and upper arms last longest; hands last about a day because of washing. Swimming and sunscreen both shorten it.
What designs are included?
The pack comes as an assorted multicoloured Pokemon-themed mix - we cannot guarantee any specific character in any given pack, so if a child has one particular favourite, order with that in mind.
What age are they suitable for?
They suit primary-school-aged children best. For toddlers, be aware the paper backing is a choking risk before the tattoo is applied, so an adult should do the applying and keep the sheets out of reach.
Can I use them for something other than a party?
Yes, and plenty of people do - classroom rewards, sticker charts, fete prize bags, sports day, and keeping a kid occupied on a long drive.
