Most popular sizes for adults (in inches):

  • 2”X2”

  • 1.5”X3”

  • 2.5”X2”

  • 1.5”X2”

Most popular sizes for kids (in inches):

  • 2”X2”

  • 1.5”X1.5”

  • 1.5”X2”

Kids have smaller surface area for tattoos. So typically the tattoos sizes will be small in comparison to adults. Having said that, the size is very much dependent on your design. Try and keep your design close to these sizes.

Temporary Tattoos are mostly applied to visible parts of the body:

• Face

• Biceps
• Neck (nape or the side of the neck) and
• Shoulders
For large events, order temporary tattoos which will fit most of your guests/clients.
