In this blog, we tell you which types of fake tattoos exist, where you can buy a fake tattoo, and what to watch out for.

What types of fake tattoos are there?

Before buying a fake tattoo, we first need to know which types of fake tattoos exist.

We can distinguish two types of fake tattoos.

1. Sticker tattoo. The most well-known type of fake tattoo is the sticker tattoo. Everyone knows it; in the past, they came with a bag of chips. Nowadays, you can order sticker tattoos online and usually personalize them to your own wishes. The sticker tattoo is applied to the skin like a sticker by pressing the tattoo against the skin with a wet washcloth. The advantage of a sticker tattoo is that it is easy to apply, you see immediate results, and it is also easy to remove. The disadvantage of a sticker tattoo is that they disappear quickly and are often distinguishable from a real tattoo. With us, you can personalize sticker tattoos, allowing you to try a real tattoo for a few days before actually getting it. This way, you can be sure of your choice, which is nice, right?
2. Semi-permanent tattoo. This type of fake tattoo is made from the jagua plant, a tropical plant commonly found in North and South America. The special thing about this fake tattoo is that it actually penetrates the skin. Moreover, the tattoo is almost invisible immediately after application. Because the tattoo penetrates the skin and reacts with the collagen in your skin, it takes 48 hours to develop into a visible tattoo. These types of fake tattoos can last up to 2 weeks. The advantage of a semi-permanent tattoo is that it lasts much longer than a sticker tattoo and looks much more realistic. The disadvantage of this fake tattoo is that it really stays on for a while and is not easy to remove in between. Once applied, it means it will be visible on your skin for 1 - 2 weeks.

Where can you buy a fake tattoo?

Now that we know which types of fake tattoos exist, it is time to find out where you can buy a fake tattoo. Are you going to buy a fake tattoo? You can buy fake tattoos in two ways:

1. In party stores. There are various party stores in the Netherlands where you can buy carnival costumes, birthday decorations, etc. These stores generally also sell fake tattoos, mostly sticker tattoos. You can visit physically to purchase your desired tattoo.
2. Online. On websites like ours, you can order fake tattoos online. We specialize in fake tattoos, so you can find a wide range and often personalized fake tattoos with us (and of course at other online fake tattoo stores). You have plenty of choice between personalized and standard designs, usually created by real tattoo artists.

What should you watch out for when buying a fake tattoo?

There are a few things to watch out for when buying a fake tattoo. We have outlined the most important points for you.

1. Type of fake tattoo. Be aware of the differences we mentioned earlier and make clear to yourself which type of fake tattoo best suits your wishes. For example, if you want a tattoo for just one evening or a tattoo with your own text, then the sticker tattoo is most suitable for you. If you prefer a tattoo that looks more realistic and lasts longer, then you should really look at the semi-permanent tattoos.
2. Use of natural materials. At tatt4aweek, we only use natural materials so that even people with sensitive skin do not get irritations after application. Unfortunately, this is not the case with every online store, so pay close attention to whether natural materials have been used. When in doubt, contact the store owner because you want to avoid skin irritation.
3. Reviews. Always check if there are reviews for the fake tattoos offered by the online store. This way, you know whether you can trust the store and whether people are satisfied with the fake tattoos they purchased. At tatt4aweek, we are proud of our customer satisfaction. Based on 126 reviews, we score an average of 5 stars.
4. Delivery time. Unfortunately, many suppliers ship directly from China. You can recognize these parties because the delivery time is usually longer than a week. The quality of the fake tattoos is often worse, and your skin is more likely to get irritated. Avoid this and buy from a party that delivers within a week, such as tatt4aweek.
