Temporary tattoos are a great way to advertise. Not only can a business easily get their name out by the use of ink and paper, but most people would enjoy wearing something as long as it's catchy and suiting to their personalities. After all, the machines at grocery stores housing temporary tattoos are very popular amongst a diverse age group for a reason.

A tattoo with a popular character will remind people of the area that they associate with the character which can be very good for any business as long as that business is also associated with the character. The same will go for a popular slogan or company name, which people do enjoy having tattooed onto their skin, either temporarily or permanently depending on their level of interest in that company. In fact, as long as a company comes up with something different, interesting, or extraordinarily perfect in its simplicity they can still find a new consumer base as people are constantly curious and will not hesitate to ask others about the temporary tattoos that they wear as long as they find themselves interested in them.

Temporary tattoos are extremely popular with children so if the company in question has a child's line or is somehow involved in a something involving a child, temporary tattoos can be a great way to advertise and announce their interests and involvement in projects that would relate to or interest a child or their parents, who are just as likely to pick up something that they think would interest their children.

If children are not the target area or the parents of children, the next step is probably going to be to make something that would appeal to teenagers and young adults, people who are either interested in getting a tattoo but are not yet old enough for it or those who are old enough for it but either not interested enough to get one permanently or are not able to get a permanent tattoo due to their jobs. This age group tends to like interesting words or phrases or general images like the designs that are often seen in Henna art. A nice, safe, generic bet when it comes to either gender is a heart, though generally more girls than boys will appreciate it. So a temporary tattoo shaped as a heart but with a logo placed somewhere on or around the image is a nice way to advertise without making the image off-putting to the age group.

Tattoos can be very effective in any form of advertisement. It's how the original temporary tattoo maker, bubble gum companies, was able to top other brands with similar products. Impermanent tattoos are not just for people, the images can be seen on cars in the form of window decorations. This is a well-known form of advertisement that has worked for as long as people started using it. Due to this, it stands to reason that a company that uses a tattoo on a person would be just as likely to succeed as one who uses it on a vehicle.
