What tattoo cut type should you choose?
Planning to use temporary tattoos for brand activation or planning to giveaway tattoos during an event? Before you print, it’s important to choose the right cut type that fits your design, budget, and user experience. Let's delve into the three main cut types – Individual cut, Perforated Tattoo Sheet , and Non- Perforated Tattoo Sheet.
Individually Cut Tattoo Sheet
Individual cut tattoos are pre-cut into separate pieces, ready for immediate use without additional cutting.
Advantages:
Convenient for distribution and application, suitable for events or individual use.
Neatly trimmed, providing a polished and professional look.
No need for scissors or additional prep, making them user-friendly.
2. Non-Perforated Tattoo Sheet
Non-perforated tattoo sheets have multiple tattoos on a single sheet without any visible perforations.
Advantages:
More tattoos designs can fit on a single sheet.
More tattoos can fit on a single sheet, reducing production costs.
Perfect as a take-home giveaway where recipients can choose and apply designs at their leisure.
Allows for larger, continuous designs without the constraint of perforations.
Disadvantage:
Requires scissors to cut out each tattoo individually, making it less ideal for live tattoo booths where quick application is needed.
3. Perforated Tattoo Sheet:
A perforated tattoo sheet contains multiple tattoos on a single sheet, with clear perforations separating each tattoo.
Advantages:
Perfect when you want to offer multiple tattoo designs for users to pick, apply, and carry back — no scissors needed.
Producing several designs on a single sheet is often more economical than printing and cutting individual tattoos.
Guests can easily tear off the design they want and DIY their tattoos with minimal help.

Making Your Tattoo Printing Decision
Choosing the right cut type depends on your design and how you plan to use the tattoos:
Individual Cuts – Best for handing out unique designs one at a time.
Sheet Without Perforation – Great for bulk production with multiple designs on one big sheet.
Sheet With Perforation – Ideal when you want a clean, easy-to-tear layout—perfect for giving out one design at a time from a larger sheet.
Each option serves a different purpose, and picking the right one helps your tattoos look better, easier to use and provide a delightful user experience.
