How to apply temporary tattoo?

MAKE SURE THAT SKIN IS CLEAN AND DRY BEFORE YOU APPLY THE TATTOO! Shave the area if needed, then use a cotton pad with rubbing alcohol to remove any traces of oil, lotion, makeup or dirt. This is the MOST IMPORTANT STEP for proper adhesion and long-lasting wear. 1. Remove the transparent protective film from front of the tattoo (❗❗) 2. Place the design face down onto the desired area. 3. Press a wet cloth or sponge firmly over the backing paper. 4. Hold in place for approximately 30 seconds, until the design begins to show through the paper. 5. Slide the paper off to reveal the temporary tattoo on your skin. Avoid twisting or stretching the skin and allow the tattoo to fully set for at least 20 minutes. ENJOY YOUR NEW TATTOO!!! 😊

How to maximize the lifespan of tattoo?

ALWAYS allow your tattoo to fully dry after application, as this is essential for maximising its lifespan. For extra protection and a more realistic finish, you can lightly spray the tattoo with hairspray, allow it to dry completely, and then gently apply translucent cosmetic powder using a soft brush. This helps reduce shine, creates a matte effect, and enhances realism. IMPORTANT: Temporary tattoos can look a bit shiny right after application. Don’t worry - this is totally normal and the shine will fade on its own within a few hours. The designs are mirrored for correct application, so no need to panic when you first see them 😊 To keep your tattoo looking great for longer, try to avoid rubbing, chafing, or friction on the area.

How to remove temporary tattoo?

Removing body tattoos: Apply a generous amount of rubbing alcohol to a cotton pad and press it onto the temporary tattoo. Allow it to sit for a few minutes so the tattoo can absorb the alcohol, then gently rub the area until the tattoo is removed. If this method doesn’t work, you can also try the duct tape method to lift the remaining design. Removing face tattoos: Please DO NOT USE ALCOHOL on face tattoos. Instead, use oil or plain tap water and gently rub the tattoo with your fingers until it loosens and comes away. Take extra care during removal to avoid getting any tattoo residue near your eyes or mouth.

Can I apply the tattoo over makeup?

No, the tattoo must be applied to clean, bare skin before any lotions or makeup. Applying it over makeup or skincare products will prevent the tattoo from sticking properly.

Is the adhesive safe for skin?

The adhesive used on the tattoo paper is tested by the manufacturer and is medical grade, hypoallergenic, cruelty free and FDA approved. Everyone’s skin is different, so use is at your own discretion. I have never had any reports of skin reactions, but if you have sensitive skin or allergies, I strongly recommend using the included “try me” tattoo first to test for any reaction before applying the full design. Temporary tattoos may not be suitable for very sensitive skin. Please discontinue use immediately if any irritation occurs.

I accidentally got the tattoo wet before removing the transparent film - what can I do to fix it?

If water is applied before removing the transparent film, it’s very important not to touch or lift the film. Touching it can cause the tattoo to stick to the film instead, and unfortunately this cannot be fixed. If this happens, leave the tattoo completely untouched and allow it to fully dry again before attempting to apply it. Unfortunately this method may not always work, as results depend on how much water was applied and whether the film shifted. As this is an application-related issue, refunds cannot be offered.

Where can I find my tracking number?

If you selected a tracked shipping option, your tracking number will be included in your shipping confirmation email.

Great temporary tattoo, perfect for my Halloween Choso cosplay. It was a little hard to apply to my upper eyelids and over my eyebrows, but the rest applied amazingly! Very easy to use. Thanks!
