Title: Temp Tattoos in Quarter Machines at TRU
Post by: Snapdragon on August 06, 2014, 06:24:38 PM
This was something I found 'new' about a month back, and I haven't seen many people posting about it, so I thought it bore making a new topic. (My apologies if I missed the previous topic on this!)

I finally got around to gathering up all my quarters to buy them, and I have an almost complete set of tattoos now! So here's almost all of the designs available!

The display I found looked like this:

And after putting in what felt like a million quarters, I got these:

Here's the image reversed, so you can see how it would look on your skin:

It looks like these go in a certain order in the machine, and after getting the first nine designs, I was ready to get the tenth. Instead, the pattern started over again from the beginning, and after the first two doubles, I gave up. :( So if anyone knows what the tenth design looks like, let me know! (And lemme know if you wanna trade - I'm close enough already, might as well finish the set!)

They're only 50 cents each, so they're very affordable and cute! They look more 'ornate' than the similar, smaller tattoos we got with the trading cards, which is nice!

That is so cool! I loved those when I was a kids, but they were stickers instead.

So much want! I'll have to keep an eye out for those, but up here they're gonna be $2 instead of $0.50. Such is the down side of having a two dollar coin. :P

Ouch! Might be worth looking into finding someone to buy you some, I bet you could stick them in a regular envelope and save money on shipping too! :P

Aww, those are lovely!  Could I buy a Fluttershy off you if you have doubles of her, or trade for something from my Trade-list (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,353234.0.html)?  :)

Wow, you have a good eye! I do have a double of Fluttershy, but unfortunately you're not the first person to ask me to get you some tatts! :blush: I'll go load up on tattoos the next time I go to TRU and PM you then, okay? I don't usually go regularly, but I'll do my best to go soon! :heart:

Very pretty designs! I am impressed with the time and skill that went into these... if only they would pay the brushables so much attention...

They look pretty nice, though I do wonder what they look like when applied to the skin.  I'm guessing that the tenth one features Rarity since she's missing.

If anyone's interested, I ordered some full sets (10 tattoo cards) in bulk.  They should be coming in some time next week.   $5 plus shipping to the first four people that want them :)   

I'll also have some stickers that are similar to these, sets of 10, $5 plus shipping.  I won't have pics until they come in though.

I love that Luna one XD
I'm sure if I tried to get her, I'd get the other the other designs first.

Yup, there should be a Rarity. My daughter has Rarity, Pinkie, and Luna from the machine at our grocery store.

I got mine!

I have extras if anyone's interested.   No more full sets, but if you need individual ones, I'm happy to sell them for $0.50 each plus shipping (typically a postage stamp or two).
