Temporary Tattoos Comprehensive Guide

Application instructions:

1. Cut out your tattoo and remove clear top sheet

2. Press tattoo onto clean, dry skin with design facing down

3. Dampen tattoo, and press down

4. Wait 30 seconds, then slide paper backer off and pat dry

To remove:

• Removal of tattoos just requires soap, warm water, and a bit of elbow grease
• Soak in the shower with warm water and soap to soften it.
• Use a skin oil or oil-based remover to gently rub off the softened tattoo.
• You can remove with sponge, cloth, or fingers.

Tips & Tricks:

Cut it out closely.
The less unclear material left on your skin, the better the tattoo will look. But do leave enough to protect the edges of the tattoo in case it gets accidentally rubbed.

Prepare your skin.
*Avoid using any beauty products on your skin before or after application (e.g., fake tan, perfume, sunscreen, anything with alcohol or heavy oil) as these products will dissolve the glue, making your tattoo sticky, and causing it to disintegrate within a day.

It is best to apply the tattoo to an area of smooth skin that doesn’t regularly stretch or fold, as this could cause the tattoo to crack before it has a chance to soften. Once it softens, it becomes more flexible with your skin.

Try to avoid areas that are regularly leaned on, rubbed, or creased.

Don’t apply to broken skin. Avoid hairy skin – you can shave before applying, but keep in mind that the hair will grow back and push against the tattoo.

Sweat or grease will also reduce the lifespan of your temporary tattoo.

Cleaning.
Generally the temp tattoo should be shower/waterproof if you don't rub it or use any products directly on it. After a day or two you may have a slightly dirty mark around the edge where the glue has picked up some dust – you can gently wipe this away with mild soapy water, or carefully rub away from the tattoo with fingertips.

Placement.
Temporary tattoos look really effective in the usual places where you would see regular tattoos. Since they are temporary, you can be pretty adventurous about where they go, or you can be discreet. Typical places for small tattoos are the inner forearm, back/shoulder blade, back of the neck, base of the spine, ankle... to be honest, the more we think about it, the more we realize that people pretty much have tattoos anywhere nowadays.

When placing the temporary tattoo on your skin, have your chosen body part in a normal position. For example, don't stretch your arm out and then apply the tattoo; otherwise, when you return your arm to its normal position, the tattoo could scrunch up or distort.

Reducing shine... making it look even more awesome!
Temporary tattoos always have a bit of shine to them. When you first apply the tattoo, it looks particularly shiny, feels tight, and stretches with the skin. Don't worry; after a few hours, this shine will reduce, and the tattoo will soften up with the natural oils from your skin. Within 24 hours, they look much better and blend in with your skin.
