Tattoos With a Purpose

Comments about Tattoos With A Purpose Field Trip:

I have three children ages 8, 6, and 4. Two of them have autism. Going out to public events can be really stressful, trying to keep an eye on them (the two with autism have a tendency to run off). We've been using these tattoos for all 3 of our kids for a couple years now and I love them. The kids think they are fun, and I feel like it's an extra form of protection should we get separated. The tatoos last a long time, usually I have to SCRUB them off or use rubbing alcohol after 4-5 days because they are still on strong. Which is great if you are going someplace for several days, like Disneyland or on a camping trip. I use these when my kids go on field trips with school, too.

These are great! I use them with my cell phone number. Even children who know their phone number get scared and forget. I keep them in my purse and my husband's wallet.

Love this product as a fun 'tattoo' for my son to wear to play dates, field trips, etc. Plus, it adds a sense of extra security for a mom of a child with severe allergies.

My 2 yr daughter is allergic to peanuts. I'm always nervous at large parties. So I thought these would relieve some of my worries!They are very large! I put it on her right arm just above her wrist. It wrapped around her wrist on both sides! It didn't stay on very well. I don't know if it was because of the hair on her arm.I will still use them, maybe try to put it somewhere else.With the size of it, there isn't many other options! Especially if she is wearing long sleeve shirt and pants! I don't think it would fit on her cheek! They could down size them a little! Also make the font that say's NO PEANUTS more ledgable!

This product was wonderful. The tattoos were easy to apply to my 3 1/2 and 2 year old even with all the wiggling they do. I had no trouble writing my phone number in the space with the provided pen and while on vacation we had many other parents ask us were we purchased them. I am glad that we did not have the need for the product but it gave me peace of mind to know that if we had become separated there was a way for us to be located.

i would totally recommend this product to all parents. the first time i used this product was when we went to hawaii and my son thought he was so cool and special because he had the tattoo on his arm. i've used the tattoo everytime we go into really crowded places like an amusement park or zoo; my son thinks it's part of the whole experience. it's so easy to apply and had no problem writing 10 digit cell # on the space provided. too bad it only come in 6 per package. i'm about to order some more!!

We purchased these for a trip to a conference followed by a vacation at Disneyland. They were quick and easy to apply, and usually lasted the day. When people saw the tatoo, they were instantly understanding and aware of his diagnosis. They were also more cautious as to how they interacted with him, which we were very thankful for (less overstimulation, less issues and less dirty looks)! We now use them all over the place - even some shopping trips! Our only complaint is that the space for writing your phone number is a little small. If you only have to write the main seven digits, it shouldn't be a problem. Fitting area codes with it were trickier, but doable. Just in case the phone number can't be read, we also use ID bracelets with our cell phone numbers and his vital information inside the bracelets. These were definitely worth purchasing!!!

They worked nicely, though I would recommend applying them to the upper arm where they wont be touched and rubbed as much by the curious kids. We used them while at Disney and out of 4 kids the tattoos lasted 4 days on 3/4 of them even through a day of swimming. Again, the child with the tattoo on his lower arm lasted only a day and a half. I also used the included pen to write contact information on their bellies just in case- that lasted all four days as well on all four kids. The kids thought they were cool as well.

The ONLY things I would change, and why I only gave it four stars is I wish there were more tattoos in the kit and less (IMO, useless) toilettes and they should be bigger. The space to write the phone number is kinda small if you have larger handwriting. So again the backup contact number on their belly is a good idea.

I think this is a great idea, but... compared to commercial kids water application tattoos, they don't stick well, and also wrinkle. Also, the pen did not work on top of the tattoo. The pen point was too wide for the space given to write, and was not dark enough. You have to write and re-write in order to even see it. Better off writing on your kid with a pen. With special needs kids, it can be important to make the application as quick as possible. This took way too long and ended with a poor result. Sorry. I really wanted this to work.

ignore the "one star" review. She is saying nothing about the quality of the product, but rather just complaining about a lack of diagnoses available. She could just write in the space provided. Product is designed for toddlers from all walks of life and with all sorts of special needs.

The real point of this is to help a toddler be 1) identified, and 2) re-connected with their guardian.

I tried to use these for my 21 month old and 3 year old on Vacation, but the kids did not like me putting them on them plus even with the pen included it was hard to read the phone # we put on it. It was worth a shot, but i don't think i would buy them again. Maybe for a child a little older that needs help remembering a phone #, but my kids were a little too young and impatient!
