Description
These temporary tattoos carry the Space Age design: 16 retro rockets, planets, astronauts and satellites spread across two pale blue sheets. The artwork has the bold, cheerful look of an old science annual, with red and white rockets on yellow fins and a little red star, a ringed red planet, astronauts drifting in white suits and gold visors, satellites with grey lattice panels and red bodies, and green and yellow capsules ready for launch. The designs vary in size, from the largest at 7cm by 2cm down to the smallest at 1.5cm by 2.5cm, so there are longer pieces to run along an arm and tiny planets for the back of a hand.
They come tucked into a navy sleeve printed with "The Space Age" and a night sky of the same rockets and satellites, so they are ready to hand over as a small gift or slip inside a greetings card. Temporary tattoos are made for play, and a rocket on the wrist or an astronaut on the forearm can turn an ordinary afternoon into a mission to the stars. They suit anyone who loves rockets, astronauts and the look of the early space race, and with two full sheets there are plenty to share around.
The tattoos are made with tapioca starch, corn starch and water, with red, yellow, blue and black pigments giving the designs their bright colour. The set is slim and flat, 11.1cm wide and 16.4cm long and just 0.1cm thick, so it tucks into a pocket, a bag or an envelope without fuss. Until you use them, keep the sheets flat, dry and away from heat so the designs stay crisp. We like to pair a single bold rocket with a planet or two nearby for a little solar system of your own, and the whole set makes a cheerful small gift for anyone who dreams of the stars.
