Tattoo Ideas for Beach & Festival Outfits

Summer is the best season for temporary tattoos — less clothing means more canvas, and every beach day or festival outfit deserves a little extra sparkle. Whether you are heading to the coast or dancing all weekend, here is how to style your NOTTATTOO pieces for the ultimate summer look.

Beach day essentials
For a day by the water, keep it delicate and glowing. Small glitter designs on the collarbone, wrist or ankle look stunning against sun‑kissed skin and catch the sunlight beautifully. Try star, shell or butterfly motifs — they pair perfectly with swimwear and flowy cover‑ups.

Pro tip: Apply your tattoo at least 2 hours before hitting the water so it has time to set. Once it is on, it is splash‑proof — just avoid scrubbing it with sunscreen or a towel.

Festival ready looks
Festivals are where temporary tattoos truly shine. Go bolder with larger glitter pieces on the forearm, upper arm or ribcage. Layer multiple small designs for a curated collection look, or place a statement piece right at the centre of your chest for an open‑back top or halter neckline.

Metallic and holographic glitter tattoos are made for festival lighting — they glow under stage lights and look incredible in every photo. Pair them with crochet, denim or sequin pieces for maximum impact.

Placement guide

• Collarbone: delicate, elegant, perfect for off‑shoulder tops

• Forearm: visible, great for bolder designs and layering

• Wrist / ankle: subtle, cute, works with every outfit

• Ribcage: statement placement for crop tops and festival wear

• Back of neck: unexpected and stylish, great for updos and ponytails

Mixing product types
Do not be afraid to combine our ranges. Layer a glitter tattoo on the wrist with a no‑water transfer design on the forearm, or add a henna‑style motif down the hand for an intricate, layered look. The more creative, the better.

Summer looks are all about self‑expression — and temporary tattoos are the easiest, most commitment‑free way to make every outfit feel like yours.
