Where can I find layout templates and instructions for setting up print data?
On the page Layout Templates you will find templates for the layout of your individual tattoos for download. A template for the backside is also included, with all the elements that must be placed on the backside according to the regulations. You can design the back individually in grayscale (change fonts, add logo or design elements) as long as you integrate all these elements. To order a tattoo including custom back printing in the store, simply upload a PDF with 2 pages (front and back).
We need images and graphics in original size and a resolution of at least 150 dpi (dots per inch).
Images, graphics, and motifs that can be used as tattoo templates are subject to certain rights. Therefore, check before each download if and how the file may be used.
Free Tattoo Templates
At Freepik, some graphics can be downloaded for free. Then, however, the name of the author must be cited.
Tattoo Templates for Professionals
With the acquisition of an extended licence on an image platform such as Adobe Stock (Fotolia), matching motifs can be found that you can use with a clear conscience.
The print tattoos are covered with protective foil and cut. Then they are bundled and handily packed.
Optionally, tattoo sheets can also be packed individually in polybags or cardboard boxes.
You will get the best result if you deliver your print data as a PDF and the motifs are already cropped.
Alternatively, you can also provide us with your print data in other common file formats – regardless of whether you prefer vector graphics or pixel graphics.
- eps
- jpeg, jpg
- gif
- png
- tiff, tif
- bmp
In the case of pixel graphics, watch for a pixel density of at least 150 dpi.
What is white printing (white colour) and how do I build print data with white printing?
You want print tattoos including white print? Please follow these steps:
When you order the product “Adhesive tattoos in colour” in the online shop, white colour is automatically included.
For setting up the print data:
- 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 white colour” , 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.
What sizes and formats are offered?
Our standard sizes for temporary tattoos are:
- 50 x 50 mm
- 75 x 75 mm
- 100 x 100 mm
- DIN A6
- DIN A5
- DIN A4
These sizes refer to the final format of the paper and any number of designs can be placed on the sheet. These standard sizes are the easiest and fastest to deliver. Different paper sizes are available on request.
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.

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. 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.
Depending on the body location, resilience, fat content of the skin and hair, the shelf life varies within two to six days.
