What is white printing and how do I build print data with white printing?
You want print tattoos including white print? Please follow these steps:
- Download template: www.print-tattoo.com/en/print-data-with-layout-templates/
- Open the template in your desired graphics program (we recommend Adobe Illustrator)
- In the „Layers“ window you will find a layer named „White Print“, make this layer visible and put the areas you want to have white background on this layer. Color all elements on this layer with the color field „white“ (this is a solid color with 100% magenta, which will be printed white later in the printing process).
Alternative for all non-graphic designers:
Upload your desired graphic in our online-shop as JPEG or PNG in high resolution –> we will then place the file in the selected format and if you have selected „with whiteprint, we will add a white background to the entire motif.
The motif requires at least 3 mm of edge distance to the paper edge.
The file for print approval appears mirrored because the motif is printed inversely on the tattoo paper.
Once the tattoo is applied to a specific area of the skin or to an object, it will reappear in the correct view.
The size of the tattoos is freely selectable from 4 x 4 cm to 45 x 30 cm.
Common tattoo sizes:
- 5 x 5 cm
- 7 x 7 cm
- 10 x 10 cm
- DIN A6
- DIN A5
- A4
These removable tattoos can also be applied to glass, wood, metal, plastic, carpet and many other materials.
It should be noted that the surface is smooth and has been thoroughly cleaned beforehand.
A popular application is a blackboard-tattoo which are often used in the catering industry.

Important!
- There must be 5mm space between the motifs and the edge of the final format.
- Several objects on one sheet:
If you place several objects on one print sheet, make sure that there is 5mm space between the motifs all around. - Maximum upload or sending size = 10 MB
- All graphics and fonts must be embedded or converted to paths for optimal display.
Alternative for all non-graphic designers:
Upload your desired graphic in our online-shop as JPEG or PNG in high resolution –> we will then place the file in the selected format and if you have selected „with whiteprint”, we will add a white background to the entire motif.
You can choose between 4 metallic colors: gold, silver, anthracite and copper/bronze. The line width of the motifs must be at least 1 pt. or approx. 0.5 mm.
You want print tattoos with metallic colors? Please follow these steps
- Download template for your desired tattoo type: www.print-tattoo.com/en/print-data-with-layout-templates/
- Open the template in your graphics program (we recommend Adobe Illustrator)
- Create the areas you want to have in a metallic color on the layer „your design“ and color all elements on this layer with the color field „Metallic Color1“ (this is a color field with 100% black, which will be printed later in the printing process in the respective metallic color from the order, if you want to create a second metallic color on the same sheet, please create a color field with 100% cyan and the name „Metallic Color2“).
The line width of the motifs must be at least 0.5 mm.
Alternative for non-graphic artists: Provide us with a file (whether JPEG, PNG or any other file format) in which the motif, which will later shine in metallic tones, is represented in a uniform color.

The paper cover (Print Tattoo Organics).
The paper cover allows the tattoo motifs to show through, but has a matte surface that is somewhat reminiscent of frosted glass. Especially in combination with cardboard packaging, this creates a particularly noble tattoo product.
+ Our paper cover is 100% biodegradable, so no plastic waste is created by using Print Tattoo Organics.
The Polyester Cover
The polyester cover allows customers to present tattoo designs to their customers unaltered. The thin polyester layer is crystal clear and has a glossy surface. In addition, the tattoo is ideally protected from moisture with this cover
After the order
Tip: ask a second person for help. When sticking large adhesive tattoos on, it is important to moisten the paper evenly and to avoid air bubbles.
You will typically receive Print tattoos within approx. 12-15 working days from receipt of print approval via standard shipping within Europe.
The easiest way to remove the tattoos is with the plaster remover offered by us as well, which is available as a cloth or spray. However, by rubbing the tattoo with soap, cream, or baby oil, it can easily be removed anytime as well.
The adhesive tattoos can be stored for approx. two years. Extreme heat and moisture should be avoided.
The delivery is made by Austrian post or various delivery services and forwarders like DPD and GO!.
- Clean and dry the affected area of skin
- Remove surface protection from the front
- Press the adhesive side on clean and dry skin surface
- Scrub the tattoo and dampen well with a sponge or cloth and press – about 20 to 30 seconds.
- Carefully lift the back of the tattoo on one corner to see if the image will adhere to the skin. If the tattoo paper does not detach easily from the motif, moisten it again with a sponge.
- Dry wet skin area and do not pat dry
The tattoos remain nicely visible after applying to the skin for about two to six (2 – 6) days. During this time the Tattoosticker are water and sweat resistant.
