Description
These pirate temporary tattoos bring a whole crew of seafaring motifs to the skin, packed in a navy card packet that reads "Beware of Pirates" in bright lettering. Each sheet carries a lively mix of designs: skulls and crossbones, a skull in a tricorn hat, a black pirate ship under full sail, a Jolly Roger flag, crossed cutlasses, a blue anchor, an orange parrot, a bottle marked with a skull and compass stars in orange, blue and black. There is a scroll reading "Pirate", another reading "A pirate's life for me" and the word "Ahoy" spelt out in bones. The tattoos come in assorted sizes, from small stars to a full ship, and the packet measures 16.4cm long, 11.1cm wide and just 0.1cm thick.
We think they are made for dressing up and play. Add a skull and crossbones to an arm to finish a pirate costume, give a captain a ship and an anchor, or share the stars and parrots out among a whole crew of shipmates on a treasure hunt. The mix of large and small designs means there is a choice for a wrist, the back of a hand or a shoulder, and the bold black, orange and blue stand out well on the skin. Because they are temporary, anyone who fancies a swashbuckling look can try it without anything permanent.
Card, paper, ink and plastic make up the packet and the sheets, and the tattoos themselves are made with tapioca and corn starch, water and colour pigments among their ingredients. Keep the packet flat and dry until you are ready to use it, so the sheets stay crisp. Light and slim, it slips easily inside a card or sits nicely alongside a pirate storybook or a toy telescope as a small extra in a bigger gift.
