Metallic Gold & Silver Flash Tattoos

Metallic flash tattoos are foil-effect temporary tattoos that mimic the look of real gold, silver and rose gold jewellery, applied with water and worn on the skin for several days. They are a favourite accessory for music festivals, beach resorts, beauty brands and fashion retail.

What Are Metallic Flash Tattoos?

Flash tattoos (also called metallic tattoos or foil tattoos) are printed with a metallic foil layer that creates a shiny, jewellery-like finish on the skin. Designs range from delicate bracelets, rings and chains to bold geometric patterns, feathers, henna-inspired motifs and tribal prints. Unlike real jewellery, they are lightweight, comfortable and disposable.

How to Apply Metallic Flash Tattoos

1. Peel off the clear protective film.
2. Press the design face-down onto clean, dry skin.
3. Wet the backing paper thoroughly with a damp cloth for 30 seconds.
4. Slide away the paper and let the tattoo dry completely before touching.

For best results, apply to oil-free skin and avoid moisturisers, sunscreens and perfume on the tattooed area. Metallic flash tattoos are water resistant and last 3-5 days.

Metallic Tattoo Styles

Customisation Options

Curated collections

Choose from existing design libraries in gold, silver and rose gold. Collections are organised by theme (jewellery, geometric, henna, nature) and ready to ship with short lead times.

Custom artwork

Supply your own designs in AI, EPS or PDF format for fully custom branded sheets. We can combine metallic foil with full-colour CMYK printing for unique effects. White under-base is available for designs that need high contrast.

Packaging

Standard sheets come in clear polybags. Custom header cards, branded envelopes and retail display boxes are available for beauty and fashion retail clients.

Care and Longevity

Metallic flash tattoos are water resistant but not waterproof. To extend wear, avoid long baths, swimming pools and hot tubs. Do not apply oil-based moisturisers, sunscreens or perfumes over the tattoo, as these break down the adhesive. Remove with baby oil, coconut oil or alcohol-based makeup remover.
