For a kids party, glitter tattoos are the best option. They’re quick, colorful, and kids absolutely love them! Plus, they’re a super easy add-on if you’re already booking face painting or balloon twisting. The designs are fun and versatile, with something for both boys and girls to enjoy.
2. How many guests can you put airbrush tattoos on per hour?
Airbrush tattoos are the fastest option we offer, and I can usually get through about 25 guests per hour. This makes them a great choice for larger events where you need something quick, but still fun and creative.

Yes, you can absolutely have a party with multiple types of temporary tattoos! Just keep in mind that for larger parties, you may need multiple artists to accommodate everyone.
