I was ripped off!!!!!!!!!
I purchased these tattoos for my son and was greatly disappointed when they arrived. Including the tax, I paid a whopping total of $12.97 for something that I later saw in the gift shop at Cracker Barrel for less than $2.00!!!!! In total, I paid more than 6 times what it was worth, and there were only a small few tattoos in there. This is a little, small booklet. Ever since then, I have been very hesitant about buying ANYTHING from Amazon!!

Only 8 tattoos but very colorful
I noticed people have complained about the price....$1.50 for tattoos and $1.50 for the handling...which seems fair enough but as I wanted this little set of tattoos to accompany a set of pirate books for my grandson and I wasn't willing to go out and hunt for them...this was worth it.
He loved the tattoos, lots of detail & very colorful, seem to be very long lasting. It's true there are a lot of tattoos (I think there were 8) that was ok, too. I mean how many tattoos do we need. I think they were the perfect accompaniment to "How I Became a Pirate" and "Pirates Don't Change Diapers"...at least I know my grandson (age 3 1/2) was thrilled and his Grammy had fun. They arrived quickly and were a big hit.

Don't bother
I don't know how well they work, if they're a miracle, they're too expensive for the quantity. When I opened it, I thought they'd forgotten to send the tatoos.
10 for 3.50 makes this the ultimate "skimpy product".

The worst value I've ever seen
These are cute tatoos for those who love pirates, however, the retail price is $1.50 and Amazon's price is MORE THAN DOUBLE. I have never paid OVER the retail price for an item at Amazon. I was shocked. There are only a handful of tatoos, and for 1.50 I wouldn't mind, but to charge 3.50 for an item that sells anywhere else for 1.50 is criminal. Find it at a local drugstore and save your $.

Not enough product
While my 3 year old son liked th tattos you'd think that a few more could be supplied. I think there were something akin to 8-10 total. A few more skull and cross bone flags would be nice.

The tattoos did seem to transfer well but didn't last longer or less than most other temporary tattoos.

Good product but...
There are only few tatoos so in one week they are gone, it could be better if there were more so they can share with brothers or friends. the alternative is to buy like 4 or 5 of these so the kid doesn't get upset when they are gone to quick. Also with one bath they are gone, so they don't last enough like other tatoos (2 TO 5 DAYS).

Temporary Tattoos were good gift.
I'd buy again as a gift for a young kid obsessed with pirates. However, I never actually had any hands-on time with the tattoos. The tattoos reminded me of my favorite Cracker Jack prize.

Huge Hit
My young son was thrilled to have tattoos just like a real pirate. These are easy to use and remove. I great find!
