Glitter Tattoos Outlast Dirty Girls Mud Run

Glitter tattoos are a great option for team marathons! They are waterproof and can outlast sweat, water, mud and obstacle courses. Your team can pick a design and I will order enough for the number of people racing. It is a lot of fun creating a theme for your team!

Before the race began.

I had the privilege of helping my friends with designing their team t-shirts and giving them team glitter tattoos for the Dirty Girl Mud Run obstacle course. Glitter tattoos usually last 3-5 days under normal circumstances. These were put to the ultimate test! I applied the tattoos 1-2 days ahead of the race so they could all have them ready for the early start of the run that day. So the tattoos were already 2-3 days old when they started the race. 





They ran, then sloshed through deep, thick, heavy mud pits (sometimes crawling in mud under nets on their bellies) and climbed over obstacles. They finished the race covered in mud from head to toe! 

The fire hose spray down.

After the race the organizers sprayed the teams down with a fire hose to get the thick layer of mud off. The glitter tattoos passed the test and surpassed the test! They looked just as good as when the girls started the race (the t-shirts not so much). No glitter was lost! I was really impressed and surprised that they (the tattoos) survived that grueling course. My friends also survived the run (one of whom also recently completed surgery and chemo for breast cancer - amazing!) and had a blast!
