Promising review: "I splurged on these for an easy 'costume' for Taylor Swift's Reputation tour. I went as the lyric 'I can feel the flames on my skin/crimson red paint on my lips.' I was so worried about applying said faux flames to my skin, because I'd only ever done small temporary tats before, but it was SO easy! They lasted throughout the night and came off with some soap and water scrubbing in the shower the next day — just what I wanted." —Katy Herman, BuzzFeed Staff

Promising review: "These look great on! We used them for a theatrical production and many many audience members (even up close) asked if they were real. They also stayed on very well for five days, five showers, and five sweaty performances. They came off easily with rubbing alcohol." —Remylove2011

Promising review: "These tattoos last longer than I expected and the colors are very bright. I like to brush a little bit of powder foundation over the tattoos to make them look more realistic, but otherwise they are very cool and realistic looking. They are also more unique than most temporary tattoos. I don't often see temporary tattoos that are more than a thin black line or script wording. It is nice to see classy, realistic, unique, and beautiful temporary tattoos that are high quality." —Chelsey

I got these tattoos a while ago after I saw how much they looked like my cat. These were simple to put on and lasted almost two weeks, even after several showers. I got tons of compliments when I put one on my arm and people had no idea it was a stick-on. I still look back on these and still can't believe the detail I was able to get from temporary tattoos.

Promising review: "I'm a bartender and bought this set for a Harry Potter pub crawl. I put it on all the bartenders that night and my barback. At the end of the night my barback's tattoo had started to come off in two spots but he works hard and sweats a lot. The next day I was getting messages because they couldn't get the tattoos off. Mine is still on and looks new two days later. They look great, we got a lot of compliments on them." —Dominique

Promising review: "These are great temporary tattoos. I used them for a themed party and they were perfect. They are bright, detailed, and easy to apply. They lasted a couple days before I removed them with rubbing alcohol, but I'm sure they would have stayed on much longer." —Lyn

Promising review: "I ordered this to use for my girlfriend's bachelorette party and it was great! They were easy to apply, the shimmer looked awesome, and the tattoo stayed on all night! I was worried all the dancing and sweating would wear it out but, nope! I would use these again if more of my friends were getting married!" —Amazon Customer

I got these for my husband and sister-in-law because we all loved A Series of Unfortunate Events as kids. I poked around the internet for a while and was stoked to see that someone had actually made these. I got some for the three of us (my husband doesn't do needles or we'd have gotten the real thing by now) and they are great! The tattoo is so central to the storyline that (for people who love the books) it's really fun to have on for a bit! They were easy to put on and looked brand new for about three days.
Promising review: "I'm using this as a test for a rose tattoo before I make a real commitment. It's so pretty I actually think I want this exact rose. I love that it came with four so I can try it in different places. It has really lasted too!" —Bevin Calnan

Promising review: "I was thinking about getting a half sleeve and wanted to see what it would kind of look like and these were perfect!

Promising review: "This is the best temporary ink I have ever used, including henna. It lasted well over two weeks, almost three, and then the fading was quick. It is awesome — a little pricy, but well worth it. I only used half of the first bottle to make three good sized temporary tattoos." —Christina Patton
