Prinker Temporary Tattoo Printer, Custom Tattoos in Seconds, Water-Resistant and Soap-Washable, Android & iOS Compatible, Fun & Easy, Festivals Parties Events (Prinker S Color Ink Refill)

I bought the Prinker M Black for a party and it was an absolute hit! Setup was quick with my iPhone, and the app is super intuitive. You can use tons of designs or upload your own — I even made a custom logo tattoo for our event! The tattoos go on in seconds and look sharp and clean, especially on smooth skin. They're water-resistant (lasted through some sweat and a little rain) but still wash off easily with soap when you're done. Great for kids, adults, festivals, or branding at events. The black cosmetic ink looks bold and doesn’t smudge. Overall, this little gadget is a creative dream — worth every penny for fun, personal expression. Highly recommend!

When I say I really wanted to love this product. I really mean it.I have multiple real tattoos and though this would be a great way to 'try' some on or supplement the ones I have for those special nights out, vacations, ect. But this thing let me down right from the start!The product is packaged well and the ink cartridges are labeled clearly so you know where each one goes.The Color version comes with 2 cartridges for colors and 1 cartridge for black.You can either have the 2 color cartridges in or 1 black.With the color cartridges in, you CAN still do black. But it's not as vibrant and it leaves a hue of orangish color around the tattoo. No matter how many times I tried to reapply or change the speed at which I glided the device over my skin. I had the same result. And yes I am spritzing the applicator spray on my skin and letting it dry before applying.Printing small, short tattoos that are thinly lined are barely visible.Multiple people tried them on and all were underwhelmed by the result.Don't expect the outlines of say a elephant or dog or yoda to look that impressive.You will only be disappointedPrinting tattoos that are either filled black or with color seem to come out the best. This is especially true with the longer length tattoos. It is about the only place that this device shines.Tattoos of multiple posed birds or dragons running down your arm look the best. Which is why they must use those as the prominent advertisement pictures. If this is where my complaints stopped, then I would have probably kept the prinker. But the issues continue.Moving onto the app. Downloading and installing the app was simple enough on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Pro. That's where the good user experience ended.Connecting the prinker to my phone took over an hour to get it to finally pair. The button to pair blends into the app and I was unaware you had to click the round P symbol floating on the artist selection screen. It almost looks like a watermark and not an interactable button.Once I figured that out, attempting to connect the prinker to my phone would go something like this.You choose your prinker device type, you click search, phone finds prinker, you click on prinker to connect. On the prinker you see the bluetooth icon and the connection attempt. After about 2 minutes the connection fails.I tried restarting the phone, clearing out ALL of my saved bluetooth paired devices from my phone, restarting the prinker, restarting the phone again. Each time, same result.I finally used my Son's old Pixel XL phone, was able to connect to the prinker and then do a firmware update. Afterwards my phone was finally able to connect! What a pain!Now onto the layout of the App.1. It is very difficult to navigate the available tattoos to printer. The default images are broken down by a few artists. The search feature does not appear to bring up results for alot of things. But this SHOULD be ok as you can upload or create your own designs in the app.BUT, this app has the worst drawing UI I have ever seen. It is SOOO bad! It's almost not even worth using. Which is a real damn shame. Especially for a device that's whole purpose is to print tattoos on you! You can also find images online and upload them to use as a tattoo. The process of doing so can either be done by uploading the image directly or dropping it onto the canvas of the drawing app inside the app.The app does a good job at removing say a 'dirty' white background from an png or image online and leaving just the design. No need to make the background transparent first! Awesome.But it also has a really bad habit of taking an image that has some length to it and forcing you to still print it out in the wrong rotation. Lets say you find an image that is 3 times as long as it is wide. There is no way in the app to rotate the image 90 degrees and still keep the aspect ratio intact. In fact the app ONLY allows you to rotate the image 180 degrees in either direction.Even if you rotate the image on a different app by 90 degrees. When you import the image. It will still FORCE it into the wrong orientation. Making the end result tattoo much smaller than it should be.Example, a friend wanted a Celtic knot tattoo. Which is kind of like a long rope like design.The image I found SHOULD have made a tattoo about 1/3 inch wide by about 3 inches long.There was absolutely no way in the app to change the rotation so that it printed out this way.It forced the image so that the entire length of the rope was just the width of the print head.Then there is the subscription service in the app which just is baffling for how bad the app is. I can't believe they would try to charge you ANYTHING for this trash.Please, Please, Please!Don't be like me. Watch some reviews online, see how the users fumble with it.Notice how everyone ONLY uses the included graphics.How no one seems impressed by the short tattoos..These are all valid issues they seem to blow over and I had little doubt every last one of them is a paid promotion.

We do a lot of events, so having this to use as a custom stamp or even as a fun activation for people is awesome. We can use any custom photo, and the existing selection of assets in the app is great too. It takes some getting used to, but it turns out that it just takes some practice to understand how to smoothly apply the temporary tattoos.Basically, don't put pressure on the skin and smoothly glide along wherever you want the tattoo to print, and it feels like magic once you get the hang of it. It's also nice that the tattoos come off so easily if you don't like how it looks or where it is. Literally use some soap on the tattoo and it rubs right off.Highly recommend if you host lots of events or just want a fun way to elevate an experience with friends!

The Prinker is a fun and creative way to apply temporary tattoos in seconds. It’s easy to use, portable, and safe for both kids and adults. I love how I can upload my own designs or choose from the app. The tattoos are water-resistant and last a day, which is perfect for events or cosplay. Only downside: it’s not for highly detailed or realistic prints. Still, a great gadget for quick, skin-safe body art!
