OK, let’s be real—getting a tattoo is scary. Aside from the fact that the whole process probably hurts AF, a tattoo is also permanent, which makes it a pretty big lifelong commitment that some of us may not feel ready for *just* yet.
Don’t get me wrong, getting a tattoo is still at the very top of my bucket list (sorry, mom!). In fact, my besties and I have been discussing design options for as long as I can remember. And if you’re anything like me at all, then you probably also have waaay too many tattoo designs pinned on your Pinterest board and wishing you could try them all out first. But wait—who says you can’t?Â
Remember those little water-activated tattoo packs you’d get as freebies from toys? Well, there are now many products of the same nature that emulate the artistry and look of a real tattoo. The good news? Some of them even accept customized designs!Â
If you’re looking to get a tattoo with no strings attached, here are a few temporary tattoo products you might want to check out:
1. Custom Temporary Tattoos, The Random Club PH
Jump right into customizing your own temporary tattoo with this local brand’s website customizer tool.

2. Watercolor Floral Tattoooies, Tattoooie_ph
If you’ve ever found yourself window shopping at a Common Room (my favorite pre-pandemic hobby tbh), then chances are you’ve also probably seen this local brand’s *really* pretty temporary tattoos.
