About Our Glitter Tattoo

Mika Face Painting's glitter tattoo service is the ultimate party treat for children and adults who want a sparkling, fun, and longer-lasting alternative to face painting. Using professional stencils, cosmetic-grade adhesive, and an array of dazzling cosmetic glitters, Mika Face Painting creates bold, eye-catching glitter tattoo designs on the arms, wrists, shoulders, ankles, and beyond — each one as unique and vibrant as the person wearing it.

Unlike face paint, glitter tattoos are genuinely waterproof and can last for several days with proper care, making them an especially popular choice for summer parties, beach events, holidays, and outdoor festivals where guests may be swimming or sweating. Children adore them because they look just like real tattoos but wash off safely without any needles or permanence — just a gentle scrub with warm water and a little baby oil or coconut oil when the time comes to remove them.

Mika Face Painting stocks a huge variety of stencil designs — from stars, butterflies, and tribal patterns to mermaids, dinosaurs, sports motifs, and intricate mandalas — ensuring there is always something for every age and taste. Multiple glitter colours can be layered within a single design to create depth and brilliance that catches the light beautifully from every angle.

Application is quick — typically around 3–5 minutes per tattoo — making glitter tattoos an incredibly efficient entertainment option for large events. They are fully compatible with other Mika Face Painting services, and many clients choose to add a glitter tattoo station alongside face painting or a glitter bar for a comprehensive, multi-activity beauty experience. All products are cosmetically compliant, hypoallergenic, and safe for use on children and adults. Mika Face Painting carries £5M Salon Gold public liability insurance for complete event peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do glitter tattoos last?
Glitter tattoos are waterproof and can last between 3 and 7 days with proper care. Avoid prolonged soaking (such as long baths) and applying oils or moisturisers directly to the tattoo to maximise their lifespan.
How are glitter tattoos removed?
Glitter tattoos are easily removed by rubbing the area with baby oil or coconut oil and gently wiping away. The adhesive lifts cleanly from the skin without any irritation.
Are glitter tattoos suitable for young children?
Yes — glitter tattoos are entirely safe for children aged 3 and above. All adhesives and glitters used are cosmetically compliant and hypoallergenic. Parental consent and supervision is always appreciated for younger children.
Is there a travel fee for glitter tattoo bookings?
Travel is free within Sale for venue postcodes starting with M33. For other areas, a travel fee of £10–£30 applies depending on distance and is confirmed in your quote.
