Ivy Vine Temporary Tattoo – Large Green Leaf with 3 Connecting Pieces (19.5" Total)
Product description
What it is
The Ivy Vine Temporary Tattoo is a three-piece design that joins to form a single long ivy trail about 19.5 inches in length. Each piece can be applied in sequence to create the full vine, or wrapped around limbs and shoulders for a natural ivy wrap effect. The matte finish aims to blend with the skin rather than shine, offering a discreet look for costumes or fantasy styling.
How it works
Application is quick and practical: hold the sheet to clean, dry skin, press a damp cloth over the back of each piece for around 20–30 seconds, and peel away the paper. Removal is straightforward with baby oil, soap and water, or alcohol. The design uses soya-based inks on medical-grade adhesive to deliver a skin-safe option, suitable for general use and non-sensitive skin types.
What it looks like in use
On the skin, the pieces align to create a continuous vine that resembles real ivy, with a matte appearance that helps it sit naturally rather than stand out as a sticker. The three-piece layout offers flexibility: you can drape it along the torso or limbs, or weave it into a wrap around an arm or shoulder for a woodland or fairy-inspired look.
How long it lasts and what affects longevity
Tattoos typically last between 1–5 days, depending on placement and skin type. Durability can vary with activity, sweating, and how well the skin is prepared before application. If a longer wear time is needed, avoid excessive rubbing in the treated areas.
Suitability and safety considerations
The product is described as skin-safe with non-toxic inks and medical-grade adhesive. It is CE and GPSR approved, implying compliance with relevant safety standards. Suitable for ages 3 and up, but not recommended for those with highly sensitive skin. If you have known sensitivities, consider testing a small area first and removing promptly if any irritation occurs.
What stands out (pros) and where it may fall short (cons)
Pros: flexible three-piece design for versatility, matte finish for a natural look, easy to apply and remove, skin-safe materials and clear safety credentials. Cons: wear time is limited to a few days and durability may depend on placement and activity, the three-piece configuration means alignment requires a little care to achieve a seamless vine.
Who it’s for
This tattoo set suits people planning Poison Ivy costumes, woodland or fairy looks, cosplay, festivals or themed events. It’s a practical option if you want a trailing ivy effect without committing to a permanent or more complex body art. It’s less ideal if you require a longer-lasting body art solution or a perfectly uniform single-piece vine.
When it makes sense to buy
If you’re dressing for a fantasy or nature-inspired outfit and want a flexible vine that can wrap around limbs or be laid out in a line, this three-piece Ivy Vine can deliver that effect quickly and without a heavy application process. It’s also handy for temporary effects at parties or photoshoots where time and ease of removal matter.
What to check before purchasing
- Confirm the total length (19.5 inches) and how you plan to position the vine on the body.
- Consider skin type and any sensitivities to ensure the soya-based inks and adhesive are suitable.
- Think about the wear window you need for the event, plan for removal the day after to avoid staining or irritation.
- If you want a continuous single vine, watch for alignment of the three pieces during application.
Practical usage example
Imagine a woodland festival scenario: you start by applying the first piece along the shoulder, continue the second piece along the upper arm, and finish with the third piece tracing down the forearm. The matte finish keeps it understated, while the three-part design allows you to adjust the wrap to taste, creating a natural ivy look that’s easy to remove after the celebrations.
The decision point
Final verdict
It’s worth considering if you want a flexible, skin-safe ivy effect for short-term uses and costumes. It may not be the best choice if you need durability beyond a few days or a single uninterrupted piece. If you prioritise quick application and easy removal with a natural matte finish, this Ivy Vine set is a sensible option for casual fantasy styling.
