FAKE TATTOOS
"Fake tattoo" can mean two different products: something you stick on your skin, or something you pull onto your arm. We make the second - and the difference decides what you actually get.

Stick-on fake tattoo: applied with water, flakes off within days, single use. Fine for a small patch; the edges lift, it smudges in the shower.
Fake tattoo sleeve: a textile you pull onto the arm. It covers the whole arm, washes, gets worn hundreds of times, leaves nothing behind. This is what we manufacture.
Buyers searching in English usually want the second, but because the term is shared the two get mixed up constantly.
A fake tattoo sleeve is judged on one thing: how real it looks. Cheap imports give themselves away in three ways - the print floats on the fabric (plastic sheen), the skin-tone base does not match (a hard edge where the design stops and real skin starts), and the seam line shows.
All three are production decisions, not design ones. The best artwork printed badly still looks fake.
On our side: print works into the weave and stretches with the arm; skin-tone models use a base close to real skin so the transition is soft; and ultrasonic welding means there is no seam line at all.
Most suppliers in this category are importers - a container arrives, gets relabelled, gets sold. They are limited to the design set that came in the box and cannot print your artwork.
We produce in Istanbul: ~6,500 printed units a day, design department in house, print not limited by colour count. Private label and custom design sets are routine work.
Standard pack: 100 pairs (8 each of 12 designs + 4 black), minimum 1 pack. Custom runs quoted per project.
Wearable. The term covers both products, which is where the confusion comes from. Stick-on fake tattoos are applied with water, flake off in days and are single use. Ours is a textile sleeve you pull onto the arm: it covers the whole arm, washes, and leaves no residue.
Realism is a manufacturing outcome, not a design one. Cheap imports fail in three ways: the print floats on the fabric and catches light, the skin-tone base does not match so there is a hard edge, and the seam line shows. Our print works into the weave, skin-tone models use a base close to real skin, and ultrasonic welding removes the seam entirely.
Yes - that is exactly what an importer cannot do. We have an in-house design department and our print is not limited by colour count, so photographic detail comes through. Private label and custom design sets are routine work for us.
