Temporary Tattoo Vending Machine: Exploring the Festival Market Event Inspired Designs

A temporary tattoo vending machine featuring vibrant festival-inspired designs could be an exciting and creative addition to events, festivals, and popular celebrations where large amounts of people gather.  Many of the enquiries that the Tattoo Vending Shop receives is from festival goers or festival organisers.

One of the joys of the tap and go, electronic temporary tattoo machines unique to the Tattoo Vending Shop is that they can be designed for individual festivals or music events.  Not only the actual machines, but also the tattoos, stickers and collectable cards. These can be tailored to individual events making them a truly profitable investment for the astute entrepreneur. 

An important thing to remember is to ensure to have an adequate lead time for the individual tattoos, stickers, or cards to be designed, printed, and shipped in time for the event or festival.  The lead time for tattoos, stickers and collectable cards is generally 3 – 4 months, but a lot of this depends on shipping.  If tattoo vending machine operators want to use the Tattoo Vending Shop's massive range of existing designs – which are in the thousands – then tattoos can be shipped within a matter of days or weeks.  The timeline for new machines is also similar.  However, if an existing on-site tattoo vending machine is having the graphics/branding changed for different festivals then this can be done quickly.
