Description
Our dinosaur temporary tattoos bring eight prehistoric creatures, drawn in an old-fashioned illustrated style, straight onto the skin. There are 16 tattoos across two sheets, with each design appearing twice: a stegosaurus, an ornithomimus, a diplodocus, a triceratops, a corythosaurus, a tyrannosaurus, a pterodactylus and a dimetrodon. The creatures come in muted greens, browns and greys, with a deep near-black for the sail-backed dimetrodon, and each sheet is topped with a bright yellow Prehistoric Land banner in blue lettering. Laid flat, it measures 11.1cm across and 16.4cm long, and the tattoos vary a little in size, at roughly 5.5cm by 3.5cm each.
A tattoo sits neatly on a forearm, the back of a hand or the top of an arm, where a lumbering diplodocus or a snarling tyrannosaurus makes a fine talking point. Because the tattoos are spaced out on each sheet, you can snip them apart with scissors and share them round, or save a matching pair of favourites for later. The backing card works as a little field guide too, with every creature named beside its drawing, so whoever wears them can put a proper name to each beast. They suit anyone who knows their triceratops from their stegosaurus, or who is about to learn.
The designs are printed in a starch-based tattoo ink, with tapioca starch and corn starch leading its list of ingredients alongside the colour pigments that give each creature its shading. The card is just 0.1cm deep, so it lies completely flat and slips easily into an envelope or a greetings card. Keep the sheets flat and dry until you are ready to use them, so the designs stay crisp. We like them as a cheerful extra tucked into a letter, or set beside a favourite dinosaur book as a small gift with plenty of character.
