Q: What are glitter tattoos?

A: Glitter tattoos are a fun, sparkly temporary body art option that guests absolutely love.

They’re similar to temporary tattoos, but the application process is different.

We use specialized stencil designs, professional body-safe adhesive and cosmetic-grade glitter.

The process involves applying the stencil, adding skin-safe adhesive, layering glitter over top, and then removing the stencil to reveal the finished design. The adhesive typically takes 2–3 minutes to fully dry, depending on the environment and placement area.

 

Q: How long do glitter tattoos last?

A: Glitter tattoos typically last 2–3 days.

How long they last depends on several factors, including skin oils, sweat, sunscreen swimming or water exposure, friction from clothing, and tattoo placement

For best longevity, we recommend placing tattoos on the upper arm or forearm. Areas like the hands tend to fade much faster due to frequent washing.

 

Q: Are glitter tattoos waterproof?

A: Yes. Once fully dry, glitter tattoos are water-resistant and can typically withstand regular handwashing and light water exposure. However, extended swimming, heavy sweating, or frequent rubbing may shorten their lifespan.

 

Q: How do you remove glitter tattoos?

A: Glitter tattoos can be removed using any oil-based product, like baby oil, cooking oil or makeup remover. Simply apply the product, let it sit briefly, and gently wipe away.

 

Q: What’s the difference between basic and deluxe glitter tattoos?

A: Basic Glitter Tattoos are a classic glitter tattoo design using stencil, adhesive, and glitter only. Deluxe Glitter Tattoos include everything in a basic glitter tattoo, plus decorative gems, body glitter accents and additional artistic detailing. Deluxe designs are larger, more eye-catching, and offer a more elevated finished look.

 

Q: How many guests can be served per hour?

A: Service capacity depends on the tattoo style selected. 

Basic Glitter Tattoos take approximately 2 minutes. Capacity: 25–30 guests per hour

Deluxe Glitter Tattoos take approximately 3 minutes. Capacity: 17–20 guests per hour

Timing includes guest transitions and design selection.

 

Q: Are glitter tattoos safe for sensitive skin?

A: For most guests, yes. However, our glitter tattoo adhesive contains latex, which may not be suitable for individuals with latex allergies or sensitivities. If a guest has sensitive skin or has never had a glitter tattoo before, we recommend a small patch test before full application. Please let us know about any known allergies before your event.

 

Q: What adhesive do you use?

A: We use professional body-safe adhesive designed for cosmetic applications. This type of adhesive is commonly used in theatrical and special effects makeup to safely adhere prosthetics and body art.

 

Q: Are glitter tattoos safe for young children?

A: Yes. We generally recommend glitter tattoos for children ages 2–3 and up. Younger children should always be supervised to ensure they do not touch or rub the tattoo before it fully dries.

 

Q: Can adults get glitter tattoos too?

A: Absolutely. If adults will be participating, be sure to include them in your estimated guest count when booking.

 

Q: Do you offer themed stencil designs?

A: Yes. We offer a large variety of popular stencil designs.

If you’re looking for something highly specific such as a company logo or fully custom design, custom stencil creation may be available for an additional fee. Please contact us in advance to discuss options.

​

Q: Do you use cosmetic-grade glitter?

A: Yes. We use professional cosmetic-grade glitter specifically designed for body art applications.

 

Q: Can glitter tattoos be applied to the face?

A: Generally, no. We typically avoid facial application because removal can be more difficult, the area is more sensitive and it can cause unnecessary irritation if removed improperly.

For facial sparkle effects, we recommend Face Painting or Glitter Glam accents instead.

 

Q: What helps glitter tattoos last longer?

A: For the best results: allow the tattoo to dry fully before touching, avoid rubbing the area, minimize sunscreen directly over the tattoo, avoid heavy water exposure, choose placement on the arms rather than hands.

​

Q: Do I have to pay a deposit?

A: Yes, a NON-REFUNDABLE $50 deposit is required for events under $250 (before taxes). A 30% NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is required for events over $250. 

​

Q: What payment types do you accept?

A: Cash, e-transfer, EFT, online credit card (through the website) and cheque (corporate events only)

​​​​

Q: When/how do I pay the entertainer?

A: You can pay your entertainer AFTER the service. Most clients have the payment tucked in a discreet envelope to hand to the entertainer on their way out. Please be sure to double check the counting. If you are paying the balance online, you can complete the payment once the entertainer wraps up
