Tinsley Transfers

Founded by Hollywood makeup and special effects artist Christien Tinsley, Tinsley Transfers emerged out of necessity during the filming of "Pearl Harbor" (starring Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale). Faced with the challenge of applying multiple wound and burn effects to around 40 extras each day, Christien recognized the need for a quick, efficient solution. This led to the creation of easy-to-apply tattoo transfers that prioritize continuity and realism. Today, Tinsley Transfers stands as the leading provider of temporary tattoos and makeup effects, trusted by some of Hollywood's biggest stars and major productions. Their innovative products have revolutionized the industry, enabling makeup artists to achieve intricate and consistent effects with unprecedented ease and speed. As a result, Tinsley Transfers continues to set the standard for excellence in special effects makeup.
