Q tattoo: How many colours can I have on my ephemeral tattoos?
Our custom temporary tattoos are printed in four colours plus the 5th colour of the white ink. This allows you to include all of the Pantone colours.
These colours correspond approximately to the Pantone colours but are not the exact equivalent due to the special cosmetic ink used in production.
This special F.D.A. certified, non-toxic ink is considered “cosmetic quality” ink and is close to four-colour process inks (CMYK) but not as vivid or consistent.
Four-colour process inks are considered transparent. The 5th colour white is considered opaque.

Custom tattoos are sent out approximately 3 weeks after receipt of the proof, purchase order and artwork for bulk packed products.
Special packaging, “Special Effects” tattoos and large volumes require additional time.
