Starting a Glitter Tattoo Business: How The Glitter Tree Can Help
Thinking of offering glitter tattoos at parties, fairs, festivals or events? Here's what you'll need to get going, and how our Trade Centre can help you start out and grow.
Thinking of Starting Out?
Glitter tattoos are quick to learn, need very little space, and bring a queue to any party, school fair or event. Whether you're adding them to your face painting, setting up a stall, or starting something new of your own, the right products from day one make all the difference to how your glitter tattoos look, how long they last, and how confident you feel offering them.
What You'll Need to Get Going
To start, you need a skin-safe body art adhesive, a good choice of stencils your customers will love, cosmetic-grade glitter, brushes and skin cleansing wipes. As you get busier, buying in bigger sizes saves you money and keeps you stocked up for the next booking.
It's also worth sorting public liability insurance early, as many venues and event organisers will ask for it, and keeping the Safety Data Sheets for your products to hand. You'll find ours for every ingredient in our Safety & Compliance Centre.
How Our Trade Centre Helps You
We make our own stencils and Body Art Adhesive here in the UK, so we can support you properly as your business grows. With a trade account you get:
- Discounts that grow with you: the more you order, the better your prices get.
- Bigger sizes: including our Refill 250mL Body Art Adhesive for filling your own applicators.
- Stencils by the pack: pick your best sellers and buy just the ones you need, from singles to packs of 50.
- Empty pots, bottles and boxes: with stickers for the lids, so you can make up your own kits and party bags under your own name.
- Your own branding: white label glitter, printed tins, and printed items for your business such as business cards, flyers, roller banners and crew t-shirts.
Starting Out Questions
Can I open a trade account if I'm just starting out?
Yes. Our Trade Centre is here to help new businesses as well as established ones. Just tell us a little about what you're planning when you apply.
Do I need special adhesive for glitter tattoos?
Yes. Always use a body art adhesive made for skin, never craft glue. Ours is made by us in the UK and is water-based, latex-free, vegan and cruelty free. You can read more in our Body Art Adhesive guide.
