🎶Top 5 Tattoos That Survive Music Festivals

If you're heading to a music festival this year, you know it’s all about the look. The outfit. The vibe. The statement. And what better way to express yourself than with temporary tattoos that actually last?

At Wide Awake NYC, we design bold, wacky-cute tattoos that don’t fade after one sweaty dance sesh or glitter-drenched day. These 5 picks are waterproof, built for adventure, and last up to 14 days — aka way past your festival weekend.

Let’s dive in. 🎸✨

 

1. Fly to the Moon Tattoo

🌙 A dreamy blend of butterfly wings and a crescent moon — perfect for late-night sets and magical main-stage moments. Stick it on your arm, collarbone, or shoulder and let the universe know you’re vibing on a higher level.

Why it survives: Smudge-proof, sweat-proof, and festival-proven.

2. I'm OK Tattoo

😌 Your low-key emotional support sticker for when the crowd gets intense or you're feeling all the feels during your favorite sad-girl anthem. Minimal, meaningful, and conversation-starting.

Why it survives: It won’t rub off — even if you cry in the rain. (We tested it.)

3. Scream Cat Tattoo

😼 For the ones who go feral in the pit. This meme-inspired baddie brings chaos and sass to any outfit — crop top, fishnets, or fairy wings included.

Why it survives: Designed to stick through headbanging and mosh pits.

4. Rockstar Rabbit Tattoo

🐇 Giving ✨main character energy✨ with a mischievous twist. This one’s made for the girls, gays, and theys who steal the show — or at least the photobooth.

Why it survives: Won’t peel, flake, or fade after hours of dancing in the sun.

5. Red Guitar Sketch Tattoo
