What You Need To Know About Temporary Tattoo Paper:
Because I use Printable Temporary Tattoo Paper so, so often, I thought I’d share an introduction to my favorite and versatile medium, that will hopefully answer any questions you may have before trying it out.
You can make temporary tattoos with Silhouette America’s Temporary Tattoo Paper. The temporary tattoos you make with this product are perfect for any kind of get together. They are also perfect for trying out a temporary version of permanent tattoo before you commit. The temporary tattoos can be applied easily with water, and generally last a day or two. They can be removed with a washcloth, warm water and a little soap.
Silhouette America makes a range of temporary tattoo paper options:
- Clear
- Gold
- Silver
- White
For today’s project, we will use the clear sheets, the black ink images will show up best on your skin. All the white parts of the image will appear clear when applied.

Print Your DIY Temporary Tattoos
- Load a sheet of white temporary tattoo paper into your printer, making sure that the images will print on the glossy side. I recommend using the highest quality or photo paper settings
- Send to print
- Let the ink dry
Prepare Your DIY Temporary Tattoos
- Apply the adhesive sheet (with the green backing) to the top of the sheet you just printed with your floral images
- Use the scraper to smooth out any bubbles and rub the adhesive sheet to the images
Cut Out and Apply Your DIY Temporary Tattoos To Skin
- Use your scissors to cut out the images, staying very close to each flower’s edge
- For each tattoo, peel off the clear plastic layer
- Apply the floral tattoo image or face down and cover with a wet cloth or sponge for 10-15 seconds until the white paper backing slides off easily
And that’s it! I love how they turned out and can’t wait to hear how yours turned out!
