How To
How To Apply A Temporary Tattoo
- Gather a bowl of clean, warm water and a clean cloth. A second set of hands helps with larger tattoos.
- Start with clean, dry skin. Wash away lotion, oil, dirt, and sweat with warm water, then dry the area completely. If hair will prevent the tattoo from making full contact with your skin, remove it first.
- Do not apply to sensitive skin or skin with a rash, break, or other irritation.
- Before removing the clear protective sheet, place the tattoo where you want it and check the orientation.
- Remove the clear sheet and place the tattoo face down against your skin.
- Wet the clean cloth with warm water, place it over the tattoo, and press gently across the full design for 30 to 60 seconds. Larger tattoos may need more time.
- Lift one corner of the backing paper to check the transfer. If any area is not ready, re-wet the paper and press again.
- Remove the backing paper and let the tattoo dry for 8 to 10 minutes before touching it or covering it with clothing.
Care and Wear Time
WannaBeInk temporary tattoos typically last 10 to 20 days with proper application and care. Wear time varies with placement, water exposure, clothing friction, skin type, and activity level.
Our temporary tattoos are waterproof, but long hot showers, pools, baths, and hot tubs can shorten wear time. Avoid rubbing or scratching the tattoo. After bathing or extended water exposure, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth or towel.
How To Remove A Temporary Tattoo
- Soak a cotton ball or soft sponge with baby oil or rubbing alcohol.
