Barcode Number Tattoos

These temporary tattoos are made with medically approved decal paper and each last about a day. To remove you just peel'em off. The barcodes are designed using common style encryption, so that every tattoo can be scanned. Each pack comes with six tattoos: 640509-040147 (Hitman), 332960073452 (Dark Angel), 748791120013 (Pink the singer), 064900000287 (Wrigley's Chewing Gum was the very first barcode scanned), 01201303 (Pepsi Cola was first barcode I turned into art), and 567-68-0515 (Richard Nixon's Social Security Number).

INSTRUCTIONS: Temporary tattoos work best on skin areas that are free of body hair.

1. Wash the selected area and dry your skin thoroughly.

2. Remove the adhesive backing (clear acetate side), apply the tattoo to your skin, and press firmly for 20 seconds.

3. Wet the tattoo with a sponge for 60 seconds. When the paper is thoroughly wet, you will be able to see the barcode image through the decal paper, and remove the release liner.
