Second Glass uses their signature event series, Wine Riot, to arm young people with information about wine in an exciting and fresh way. They keep Wine Riot fun by deploying DJs, photo booths, and temporary tattoos.

Why temporary tattoos? Morgan explains that “when people have tattoos on, the snootiness goes out the window.” Temporary tattoos change the atmosphere at a wine tasting from intimidating and snobby to approachable and relaxed. People aren’t scared to ask even the most basic wine questions, like “what’s a Merlot?” or “what does the year on the wine bottle mean?”

Second Glass sets up a tattoo station at each Wine Riot event. Attendees clamor for the temporary tattoos, which Second Glass offers in loosely wine-themed and zany designs: a wine-loving mermaid, an octopus holding a wine bottle, and a tiger whose stripes spell “Drink More Wine.” The tattoo designs are by Second Glass designer Holly Gordon.

Morgan has found that using fun, original tattoo designs (instead of just a logo) make them extremely popular. And, the interactive tattoo station gives event organizers a place to talk directly to attendees and give them more information about Second Glass.

We especially love the custom tattoo backs that are on the back of every Second Glass tattoo. Custom backs with the Second Glass logo and website ensure that every tattoo that leaves their event reminds attendees how they can find out more about Second Glass.

Infuse your event with some extra fun – design your own custom temporary tattoos.

1. Fans love to cheer on sports teams with temporary tattoos.

At sporting events, fans are always looking for ways to show their team spirit. Whether you’re promoting a high school football team, a local soccer league, or a neighborhood swim team, temporary tattoos are a unique way to boost team spirit and raise money for the team.

2. Temporary tattoos are a safe, healthy, family-friendly tool for nonprofit groups.

Messages about living a healthy lifestyle can be confusing when groups sell junk food and candy for their annual fundraisers. Avoid sending mixed messages by nixing the food sales and swapping in a food-free, safe treat like temporary tattoos.

Temporary tattoos are a strong fundraiser for nonprofit groups from religious organizations to Scout troops. Kids and adults alike love wearing temporary tattoos as a fun accessory.

3. Temporary tattoos are a great way to create buzz at local events.

At festivals, fairs, and sports tournaments, tattoos aren’t just an item to sell – they’re a fun experience. Create a unique activity at your next event by setting up a temporary tattoo “parlor” and charging a nominal fee for each tattoo application. All you need are tattoos and a wet sponge (or paper towels) to apply the tattoos.

4. You can create a custom design that promotes your specific group, event, or message.

Create temporary tattoos using your group’s logo, name, or event date.

Even better, create several different temporary tattoo designs and encourage your fans and friends to collect all of them. Or, hold a contest for tattoo designs and choose the best submission for your tattoos.

5. Do the math! Temporary tattoos are an extremely affordable way to raise money fast.

While other promotional items require a fairly hefty starting budget, temporary tattoos are affordable for every group.

Here’s an example:

At tattoosales.com, a soccer team can buy 300 2 x 2″ custom temporary tattoos for $82.08 total, or just $0.27 per tattoo.

If the team sells those 300 tattoos for $2 each, the team would make more than $500 in profit. Wow!

We’re betting that you don’t immediately associate marathons with words like: Sparkle. Skirts. Wings. Pixie Dust. Temporary Tattoos. But that just means that you haven’t met Team Sparkle yet.

Kelly Lewis, one of the creators of Team Sparkle, tells us their story: A few years ago, Kelly and two friends, Elise Wallace and Carrie Lundell, were training for their first marathon. One day, one of the women’s young daughter insisted on wearing a sparkly skirt from their dress-up box while she was mountain biking.  It seemed crazy, but her mother was able to see her (and her sparkly skirt) from far away. The idea to wear sparkly skirts during the marathon was born.

When Kelly and her friends showed up to the marathon in their sparkly outfits, they got so many compliments from fellow runners that they launched their business, Team Sparkle, right there on the marathon course.

These days, Team Sparkle is about more than skirts. Their online store sells racing skirts, wings, “race legs” (socks) and “sparkle sleeves” (arm warmers). And, the group is building a community – a team- around the idea of bringing the fun back to every run. Team Sparkle has also become synonymous with fun temporary tattoos. Kelly and team hand out special branded tattoos (“13.1″ and “Team Sparkle”) at pre-race events and expos to spread the Team Sparkle cheer. And, every online order that ships out is packaged with a business card and a Team Sparkle tattoo.

“Everyone loves the tattoos!” Kelly explains. “The product is great because it stays on so well. The tattoos last a good week.” Team Sparkle’s temporary tattoos have helped them build brand recognition. Kelly regularly sees people that she has never met sporting Team Sparkle tattoos as part of their race outfit.

Few voters have the political fervor needed to get a permanent tattoo of their favorite candidate’s name.

Luckily, no one has to get (permanently) inked to show their political support. Temporary tattoos are a fun way for voters to wear their heart (and their political affiliation) on their sleeve this election season.

Some politicians choose to create custom temporary tattoos, bearing their logo. Custom temporary tattoos are an affordable giveaway to enclose in donation thank-you letters or solicitations.

Another way to create buzz and excitement at political events: patriotic temporary tattoos. American flags and “USA” designs are a non-partisan way to boost a crowd’s energy.

And, an idea for election day: instead of stickers, try handing out “I voted” temporary tattoos that voters can display on their hands.

Recently, blogger and designer Victoria Smith, editor of sfgirlbybay, was looking for better business cards. She already had a killer logo, thanks to her friends and fellow designers Anna Dorfman and Shanna Murray. Victoria ordered paper business cards, but she wasn’t happy with the quality of the paper. She is a fan of Tattly temporary tattoos, and has been following the current temporary tattoo trend. So, she thought, wouldn’t a temporary tattoo business card be fun?

Victoria ordered custom tattoos, using her logo, from tattoosales.com, to use at the Alt Design Summit. At the conference, she offered her tattoos to people when she introduced herself, in lieu of the traditional business card exchange. People loved her temporary tattoos! Some people applied the tattoos on the spot. Victoria was even approached by a curious group of people who were attending a different conference next door – and soon they were sporting Victoria’s logo, too.

As a veteran of the printing industry, Victoria says that she was most impressed by the quality of the temporary tattoos. She had the tattoos shipped directly to the hotel where she was staying for the conference, and had no idea what to expect. We’re glad that Victoria was pleasantly surprised!

• Brides are always looking for cute and creative ways to wear their “something blue.” We’ve heard ideas that range from carrying a blue handkerchief around the bouquet to writing special notes in blue on the bottom of wedding shoes. Our idea: use temporary tattoos as your “something blue.” Show your love with your groom’s name or your wedding date in a blue temporary tattoo. And, save extra “something blue” tattoos to wear as a happy memory of your wedding day on anniversaries to come.
