Glitter tattoos are the latest in body art when the summer heats up in Denver! Great for a pool party (or any type of party outdoor activity) as they last longer than face painting. When water is involved in your activity glitter tattoos provide a waterproof alternative to face painting. They can last from 3-6 days and I have 25 awesome designs to choose from! Kids love that they last a long time!
I prepare the skin by wiping with alcohol to wipe any dirt or lotion off. Then using specially made cosmetic glitter glue I paint over the stencil (I can also freehand glue designs). I’ll blend different colors of the many glitter colors to choose from for the “wow” effect. Glitters are cosmetic grade only that are safe for skin.
Some important things to remember about glitter tattoos:
- Glitter tattoo is 100% toxic free and safe for skin.
- It lasts anywhere from 3 - 6 days. This depends on your skin type and maintenance.
- Your glitter tattoo is waterproof but it becomes weak when subjected to prolonged time in water (swimming or taking a bath), so afterward pat dry the area and don’t scrub or scratch with a towel (friction shortens the lifespan of your tattoo).
- Never apply alcohol based oil or lotion in the area of your glitter tattoo.
- Should you wish to remove your glitter tattoo simply use alcohol swabs, baby oil or lotion and let it soak for 5-10 minutes before you scrub and remove.
When booking a birthday party with Snappy Face Painting, glitter tattoos are also an option as well if children do not want their faces painted. This is offered at no additional charge.
