    FAQs on Our Sticker Vending Machine Selection

    What is a Tattoo Vending Machine?

    These are also called sticker or falt vending machines, and as the name suggests, they dispense temporary tattoos or sticker sheets, typically in 2” x 2” or 3” x 4” cardboard sleeves. 

    They're often placed in high-traffic locations where kids and teens can make a quick, low-cost purchase. They don’t need electricity and are coin-operated, so they’re easy to install and maintain.

    Do Sticker Vending Machines Make Money?

    Flat vending machines have one of the highest profit margins in the vending world since the cost per tattoo or sticker is typically $0.05 to $0.15, while vend prices range from $0.50 to $1.25. They produce reliable returns even in moderate-traffic locations with low product cost, no refrigeration, and minimal maintenance.

    How Profitable is Owning a Vending Machine for Stickers/Tattoos?

    A well-placed tattoo or sticker machine can earn $20 to $200+ per month, depending on foot traffic, product mix, and price per vend. You’ll get a good ROI fast since overhead is so low.

    Do I Need an LLC for Vending Machines?

    Not necessarily, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t set one up anyway. Many operators start as sole proprietors, but forming an LLC provides legal protection and simplifies tax reporting as your business grows.

    Can You Legally Put a Vending Machine Anywhere?

    No - you need permission from the property owner. Most vending operators work out a commission-based agreement (15-25% of monthly earnings) or flat rent. But, you might be able to convince a property owner to let you set one of these machines up just based on the value they bring to patrons.
