Christian Religious Temporary Tattoos

Wear Your Heart on Your Skin

Temporary tattoos can be a lot of fun for kids. They give kids the chance to temporarily do something they're not allowed to actually do until adulthood - sport a tattoo. When the temporary tattoos feature Christian religious themes, wearing one becomes a silent testimony.

An Easy Youth Group Project

Youth group pastors and Sunday School leaders often look for easy and fun activities to do with their students. A temporary tattoo parlor can be a fun an meaningful activity for everyone involved. Here are some tips for making religious temporary tattoos even more fun:

1. Ask parents' permission beforehand. It's a good idea to let parents know beforehand that the day's activities will include temporary tattoos. You never know when families might have photos scheduled or a visit to Grandma after church - and maybe parents don't want kids showing up with a temporary tattoo on their arm or face.
2. Set up a display. Give kids a "tattoo parlor" experience by allowing them to peruse the available tattoo designs and make their selection.
3. Tie the experience into other activities. Kids can "earn" their tattoos by helping around church or getting other leaders to give them "tattoo credits" for helping or for successfully memorizing scripture.
4. Make it a big deal. When tattoos are earned, wearing one becomes a symbol of success. Snap photos and display pictures of kids with their tattoos in the Sunday School classroom.

Choosing Temporary Christian Tattoos for Kids

Not all temporary tattoos are created equally! Choose tattoos that are non-toxic (all of ours are!) and that correspond with the theme of what kids are learning. Not only should you select tattoos that match the Biblical lessons kids are learning, but you can also increase the cool factor by offering special tattoos that are out of the ordinary. For example:

1. Graffiti tattoos
2. Glow in the dark tattoos
3. Glitter tattoos
4. Football-themed tattoos that go under the eyes

Simple Storage

Temporary tattoos are a great choice for Harvest Festival prizes or community engagement events because they don't take up a lot of room in storage and are easily transported. Imagine the difference between carting 100 tattoos to an event as opposed to 100 small toys!

A Moment for Fellowship

Placing a temporary tattoo on someone takes a little time, and that's valuable one-on-one time when you can talk about the Good News. For some kids, it may be a significant moment in their lives, even if it's brief.

Don't underestimate the potential power of a quick chat while applying a temporary Christian tattoo.
