About Merlin Tattoos

Pokémon Merlin Tattoos is a Merlin/Topps set released in 2000 for the UK market. Each of the 20 cards carries three temporary-tattoo transfers — a card is wetted and pressed to the skin to leave the Pokémon designs behind. The set draws entirely on Kanto Pokémon from the original series.

Because the tattoos are removed when used, surviving cards are scarce and intact examples are prized. The checklist below lists the three Pokémon featured on each card. As with every Merlin set the card fronts reuse shared artwork, so front and back photo slots are both kept.
