Product description of the manufacturer
The candle tattoos from the Sugaro brand are water transfer print images for decorating candles. This extensive set with six sheets in 19 x 14 cm format offers over 200 different motifs – ideal for decorating numerous candles in style. Whether for festive occasions such as Easter, christenings, birthdays or simply as a loving gift in between: With the high-quality water slide film, you can create unique decorative items in no time at all . DIY candle design becomes a special experience – a creative process that expresses emotions and brings joy. Small gestures, such as a self-designed candle, often make the biggest impression. The application is very simple: cut out the desired motif, place it in water for about ten seconds, carefully apply it to the candle and, after a short waiting time, peel off the backing film – and your personalised work of art is ready. Suitable for white pillar or pillar candles and smooth ceramic surfaces. A well thought-out gift set for anyone who loves creativity or wants to give a personalised gift for special occasions.
In the practical test, the set was particularly impressive due to the variety of tattoos included, which means that there are no limits to creativity.

This product was delivered in a small cardboard envelope. Inside the bag were the candle tattoos, which were still wrapped in plastic for protection. It would be desirable for the manufacturer to consider a more environmentally friendly packaging option.
The product comes with a small card containing the instructions for use and a cord.
The instructions for use are written in German and are easy to understand.

What is striking is that the motifs are all a similar size.
The variety of different motifs is very promising.
The easy-to-understand instructions for use in particular emphasise the impression that this is a well thought-out and high-quality product.

This product was subjected to an extensive practical test . In accordance with the instructions for use, the desired tattoos were first cut out with scissors and moistened in water for a few seconds. Once the tattoo had been applied, it had to be pressed on and must not be moved. After pressing it on, the water resistance of the product was tested. The tattoo remained firmly in place. With regard to adhesion, the tattoo was found to adhere well after a certain drying time. The tattoos can also be removed again by careful and targeted scratching, although a little dexterity is required here.
The colour fastness of the tattoos is impressive in different lighting conditions. Despite the attached tattoo, the candle burns evenly and shows no differences in burning behaviour when the tattoo is reached.
Overall, the candle tattoos were convincing in the practical test due to their easy handling and colour fastness.
