They’re a smart, profitable add-on that can help you upsell, fundraise, and stand out from your competition—without buying new gear or learning complicated software.

“We just did a fundraiser where every $12 tattoo sheet paid for socks for a youth football player. It sold like crazy.”
What’s the Setup?
You don’t need a new printer to test the market. We offer white toner-printed temporary tattoos you can order by the sheet. You can:
-
Upload your own designs (logos, slogans, mascots, etc.)
-
Mix and match sizes and layouts — as long as it fits on an 8.5x11" sheet, we’ll print it
-
Order just one to test, or order in bulk for resale or fundraisers
📦 Per-sheet pricing starts at $12
Bulk discounts drop it as low as $6 per sheet with 40+ tattoos per sheet depending on size.
That's as low as $0.15–$0.30 per tattoo, retailing for $1 or more each.
