Live Roaming Tattoo Activation
Elevate your next event with our live fully mobile temporary tattoo experience—the ultimate high-engagement, mess-free branding experience. Guests can choose from our curated catalogs of NYC landmarks and holiday party themes, rock your company logo, or flaunt custom graphics we collaborate on ahead of time. It’s an instant conversation starter that keeps your brand walking around the room and popping up all over social media.
How does it work? It is entirely frictionless and takes less than one minute per person, keeping lines moving fast. Guests simply pick their design from a digital menu on our tablet, gets a spritz of skin primer, and our attendant glides a handheld, cosmetic-grade printer directly over their skin. The tattoo prints instantly, dries immediately, and washes off easily later with soap and water. No messy water cups, no soggy paper backings, and zero hassle for your venue.
