Overview
- Universal officially added temporary monster tattoos to the Darkmoor Monster Makeup Experience on Thursday, July 2, 2026, with the offering available for guests ages 5 and up at $45 per person plus tax.
- Guests can choose tattoos or face makeup inspired by classic characters such as Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, the Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, and The Creature from the Black Lagoon.
- The tattoos provide a lower-cost, quicker way for families and younger visitors to participate in Dark Universe’s immersive role-play without full face paint.
- Public permit filings show a planned project of roughly 71,500 square feet in Dark Universe, but Universal has not disclosed what the building will contain or when work would begin, and fan ideas about a Creature from the Black Lagoon dark ride remain speculative.
- Epic Universe was designed with unused space for future growth, so the tattoo rollout reflects Universal’s short-term, guest-facing updates and the permit signals the company is keeping options open for a larger, longer-term expansion of the land.
