If you have been around here much you may have noticed that I kind of have a thing with temporary tattoo paper. I’ve made Bunco tattoos, crafty maker tattoos, Fourth of July tattoos, and you can expect to see some more around here.  They are just so much fun to make!

So, of course, I had to make some Halloween tattoos. I mean, obviously.

I painted up some spooky watercolor designs, and got them all set up to turn into tattoos. There are drippy watercolor ghosts, pretty moons, bats, and a couple of fun phrases too. So, you are all set to make your own tattoos for all your Halloween festivities – all you need is ten minutes and a few simple supplies.

DIY Halloween Temporary Tattoo Supplies:

  • Temporary Tattoo Paper
  • My Watercolor Halloween Tattoo Designs (Free Printables are for Personal Use Only)
  • Scissors (or you can do a print and cut with your Silhouette too!)
  • Applicator or Old Credit Card

How to make your own Temporary Tattoos for Halloween:

If you haven’t ever used temporary tattoo paper before, it is SO easy to use. You are going to love this stuff.

In the package you will find a piece of shiny white paper and an adhesive sheet with light green backing. To create the temporary tattoo, you simply need to print your designs onto the shiny side of the white paper. Make sure the image has been flipped horizontally before printing (I’ve already flipped the images on my Halloween designs for you).

  1. Peel off the top strip of the light green backing and apply the adhesive sheet to the printed image.
  2. Slowly peel off the backing and press the adhesive onto the printed image.
  3. Use the applicator tool or a credit card to firmly apply the adhesive to the printed image.
  4. Finally, use scissors (or an electronic cutting machine – I love my Silhouette!) to cut around each design.

Easy peasy, right? Now you have a whole pile of spooky watercolor tatts for Halloween.

Applying the temporary tattoos is super easy too.

  1. Peel off the clear plastic top sheet.
  2. Place the image face down on your skin and place a wet sponge or cloth on top of the paper.
  3. After 10-15 seconds, the paper backing should peel off easily leaving the tattoo on your skin.

You could also make tattoos for a Halloween party or you could add them to goody bags to give out to trick or treaters. Kind of a fun little addition, right?
