Made for Skin, Not Just for Sparkle
Since 2012, The Glitter Tree has designed and manufactured our own Body Art Adhesive here in the UK.
Unlike craft glues, it's developed specifically for use on skin, dries completely clear, and applies cleanly with a precision sponge wand, so every glitter tattoo looks as good as the stencil it started from.
How Do I Use Body Art Adhesive?
1
Clean & Dry Skin
Wipe the area with an alcohol wipe or soap and water, then let it dry completely.
2
Apply Over the Stencil
Press your stencil onto the skin, then brush a thin, even layer of adhesive over it with the sponge wand.
3
Add the Glitter
Once the glue turns from white to clear, usually 30 to 60 seconds, press or sprinkle on cosmetic glitter while it's still tacky.
4
Peel & Reveal
Brush away the excess glitter, let it set for a minute, then carefully peel off the stencil.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do glitter tattoos last?
Usually 3 to 5 days, depending on where the design is placed. A thin layer lasts longest. A thick layer builds up and tends to rub off sooner, so there's no need to use more. Showers and swimming are fine, just pat the area dry afterwards and avoid soaking it in the bath.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes, from age 3, with adult supervision. If in any doubt, do a quick patch test first, especially on younger children.
Can I use it on my face or with face gems?
Yes, on older children and adults, but we don't recommend it on young children's faces. Always keep it away from the eyes. It works with all types of cosmetic glitter, as well as face gems and body jewels.
How do I remove a glitter tattoo?
Smooth a little baby oil over the design and let it soak in, then wash off with soap and water or a very mild alcohol-based remover. Please don't scrub, as this can irritate delicate skin.
How many glitter tattoos does one bottle do?
Over 80 medium-sized glitter tattoos per Single 10mL bottle, depending on the size of the design. That's over 160 from the Twin Pack 2 x 10mL, over 240 from the Event Size 30mL and over 480 from the Party Pack 6 x 10mL. It keeps for 36 months once opened. Put the lid back on after use and store it at room temperature, out of direct sunlight.
Is it safe for skin, and where is it made?
It's developed specifically for skin, and it's water-based, latex-free, vegan and cruelty free. We've manufactured it here in the Lincolnshire Wolds, UK, since 2012, and a full Safety Data Sheet is available in our Safety & Compliance Centre.
