Absolute waste of money. I was very pleased with how the art work looked upon opening the package, but as soon as I began to peel the clear coating off everything went downhill. The clear coating was stuck on to the tattoos so well that it took the tattoo, as well as the paper with it. This ruined the tattoos and they were no longer recognizable. Do not buy these unless you want to be very disappointed.
I guess I should have expected this, but the tattoos weren't of things like Starry Night. That's kind of my fault for assuming a temporary tattoo could be made of such a complex work of art, but I was still kinda disappointed I couldn't have van Gogh-esque swirly stars temporarily adorn my body. Still, some really cool stuff.
I really liked the "Church at Auvers", "Vase of Sunflowers", and "Self-Portrait", temporary tattoos. However I did feel as if one of the portraits of Van Gogh, between the "Self-Portrait" or the "Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear" could have been replaced with "Starry Night"--practically his most renowned painting, as well as one I (with a slight admitted bias) hold much heart to. Overall a fairly amazing set although. :-)
I bought these at a museum and I had to get more,thankfully this is a much cheaper price than the museum price I did pay for.The only bad thing was that it was difficult to take the plastic off the tattoo without having some of it come off with it,so be extra careful pulling the plastic away.
The images are cool because they are copies of fine art, But they don't come off the backing very well. Often times the image tears and a piece of it remains on the backing.
only came with four tattoos, and half the designs ripped off when I tried to remove the clear coating. barely showed up on any surface, these would be a lot cooler if they actually worked :(
They look good on the first day but fade quickly on day 2 and 3. This is true of all the designs I have ordered from this company but I like the variety of unique art choices.
Was there a printing mistake??? All we got was two pages of butterflies?? Not even remotely in the style of Van Gogh. HAD to have been a printing mistake. TOTAL waste of money!!
