Fun Attributes
by Grafix
Temporary tattoos are stick-on body art that transfers to your skin in seconds and washes off when you're done — all the fun, none of the regret. Available as individual glow-in-the-dark transfer tattoos or a full fake tattoo sleeve, these are the kind of daft accessories that make a festival weekend or fancy dress party that much more entertaining. We've carried novelty gear like this at Azarius since the early days, and honestly, the laughs-per-euro ratio on these is hard to beat.
| Variant | SKU | What It Is | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temporary Tattoo | HS1807 | Individual transfer tattoo — apply with water, glows in the dark | Festival nights, UV parties, quick laughs with mates |
| Fake Tattoo Sleeve | HS1814 | Full-arm fabric sleeve printed with tattoo designs — slides on like a sock | Fancy dress, costumes, pranking your nan |
Ordering multiple tattoo sleeves? The designs vary, and a mixed selection gets shipped — so you and your crew won't all end up with the same tribal dragon.

Heading to a party or festival? Pair these temporary tattoos with rolling accessories, stash gear, or UV party supplies from the smokeshop section. A fake tattoo sleeve plus a set of novelty sunglasses is basically a complete costume with zero effort.
Here's the thing about festivals and house parties — the people who bring the silly props always have the best time. We've seen it for over 25 years behind the counter. Someone walks in, grabs a couple of glow-in-the-dark temporary tattoos for a euro or two, and suddenly they're the person everyone's crowding around at 2am under the UV lights. The effort-to-entertainment ratio is absurd.
The individual transfer tattoos are the real crowd-pleasers. They glow in the dark, which means they're basically invisible during the day and then light up once the sun drops. Apply one to your forearm, your neck, your mate's forehead while they're not looking — the possibilities are endless and all of them are funny. They wash off with soap and water, so there's zero commitment. Compare that to the lad we once met who got an actual tattoo of a mushroom at a festival and regretted it by Monday. These are the smarter option.
The fake tattoo sleeve is a different beast. It's a stretchy fabric tube printed with tattoo designs that you pull onto your arm like a compression sleeve. From a metre away, it genuinely looks like a full sleeve tattoo — close up, obviously not, but that's half the joke. It's brilliant for fancy dress, costume parties, or just walking into Sunday dinner at your parents' house and watching their faces drop for 3 seconds before they realise it's fake. One honest limitation: the sleeve is one-size-fits-most, so if you've got particularly thin or thick arms, the fit might be loose or snug. It still works, it just won't fool anyone from close range.
The transfer tattoos take about 30 seconds to apply. The sleeve takes about 3 seconds — it's literally pulling on a sock. Here's the full process for both:
Yes. The transfer tattoo variant contains glow-in-the-dark ink that charges under normal light and then glows once you're in darkness or under UV. They're best under blacklights at parties or festivals — the effect is genuinely visible, not just a vague shimmer.
Typically 1-3 days depending on placement and how much you sweat, swim, or scrub. Arms and legs last longest; hands and fingers wear off fastest. Soap and warm water removes them completely when you're done.
No — designs vary and are shipped at random. If you order multiple sleeves, you'll receive an assorted selection so you get different designs rather than duplicates. Think of it as a lucky dip.
It's one-size-fits-most. The fabric is stretchy enough to fit the average adult arm comfortably. Very thin arms will find it loose, and very muscular arms might find it snug — but it still works for the visual effect either way.
The transfer tattoos use standard temporary tattoo adhesive that's widely used in novelty products. If you have very reactive skin, test a small patch on your inner wrist first and wait 10 minutes. The fabric sleeve doesn't use adhesive at all, so it's a good alternative if transfer tattoos irritate your skin.
The fabric sleeve can get wet without falling apart, but it looks obviously fake when soaked because the material clings differently. It's best used dry. The transfer tattoos handle brief water exposure but will fade faster with repeated soaking.
The temporary tattoo is a water-transfer design that sticks directly to your skin and glows in the dark — single use, lasts 1-3 days. The fake tattoo sleeve is a reusable fabric tube printed with tattoo art that slides onto your arm like a garment. Different tools for different laughs.
