Custom Temporary Tattoos Australia | Sense2

Custom temporary tattoos are the promotional piece that lives on skin for a weekend — the festival wristline photographed at sunset, the school-fete cheek sticker, the sports-day face mark, the launch-party forearm that ends up on Instagram by Sunday. Sense2 has been briefing temporary tattoos for Australian agencies, brand teams and events since 1994, with full-colour digital printing, skin-safe FDA-compliant inks and thousands of 5-star Google reviews for turning the creative brief into something people actually want to wear.

Best for

• Festival and event activations — Offer three or four tattoo designs on a single sheet at the activation booth — people choose, apply, and the brand walks around for the weekend. Metallic gold and glow-in-dark inks photograph beautifully after sunset.
• Sports days, fun runs and community events — Cheek-sized logos or team colours in a single full-colour design. Fast application, no mess, and every finish-line photo carries the brand. We've briefed these for charity fun runs, AFL community days and school fetes.
• Brand launches and product drops — A considered illustration — the campaign icon, a limited-edition motif, a bespoke typography mark — turns early adopters into brand ambassadors the moment they post the unboxing.
• Kids' campaigns and family events — Character-led artwork, bright CMYK, rounded corners. Dermatologically tested and parent-approved. Ideal for retail activations, museum exhibitions, children's hospital fundraisers and holiday-program branding.
• Staff culture and conference moments — The unexpected conference delegate gift — a small brand mark everyone wears on the lapel-side of a wrist through day two. Great for agency retreats, team offsites and milestone moments.

Frequently asked

What's the minimum order for custom temporary tattoos? Standard rectangular full-colour sheets start at 250 units. Custom die-cut shapes typically need 1,000+ to balance the one-off die fee. For pilot runs, agency mood-boards or small launch events, we can quote short-run digital at 100 units. Larger briefs from 2,500 drop 25-35% from the 500-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote.

How long do temporary tattoos take to produce and deliver in Australia? Standard lead time is 7-10 business days from artwork approval. 72-hour express is available on smaller full-colour runs when a launch date has shifted. We dispatch Australia-wide from our Sydney warehouse — Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra all arrive within the same national window.

Are your temporary tattoos skin-safe? Yes. We print with FDA-compliant, dermatologically tested, non-toxic inks on skin-safe transfer paper. They are suitable for children and sensitive skin. Full safety documentation is available on request for school, hospital and government briefs. Tattoos wear 2-5 days and remove with oil or rubbing alcohol.

What printing and finish options do you offer? Full-colour digital CMYK at 600dpi as standard, with white ink for designs that need to carry on darker skin tones. Metallic gold and silver inks are available, as is glow-in-dark for evening events. Custom die-cut shapes are produced at 1,000+ quantities. Our in-house design studio handles art setup, colour-matching and layout.

Can I see a sample before I order? Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours. Pre-production samples with your actual artwork are available on larger runs. After 30+ years of tattoo briefs, we know the decision is made when someone peels the film and applies it to their own wrist — never from the spec sheet alone.

What artwork format do you need? Vector artwork (AI, EPS, PDF) is ideal. High-resolution PNG or TIFF at 600dpi with transparent background also works beautifully. Our in-house design studio can also work from supplied illustrations, photography or a creative brief — colour-matching to brand Pantones and bulking up fine linework where needed.
