Before you apply
Our temporary tattoos are designed for external use on adult skin. Please read this page before applying.
Safety information
- For external use only.
- Not suitable for children under 3.
- Apply only to clean, dry, intact skin. Do not apply to broken, irritated or sensitive skin.
- Keep away from eyes and other sensitive areas.
- If irritation occurs, stop use and gently remove the tattoo. If a reaction is significant or persists, seek medical advice.
- Every pack includes a test tattoo — we recommend trying it on a small area of skin first. A successful test is a good sign, but individual skin can react differently on different areas or occasions.
How to apply
- Prepare your skin. Choose a clean, completely dry area, free from hair, moisturiser and oils.
- Remove the protective film. Place the tattoo face down in your chosen position. Once placed, it can't be repositioned without damage — so take your time.
- Wet the backing paper. Press a thoroughly wet cloth firmly over the entire backing paper. Saturate it completely and hold for 15–30 seconds.
- Slide away the backing. Gently slide or peel the paper away. If the design hasn't fully transferred, replace the paper and apply more water and pressure.
- Rinse gently. Use clean water to remove any remaining adhesive. Do not rub.
- Let it settle. Leave it untouched for 15–20 minutes. It may take 4–5 hours to become fully matte — try not to touch or rub it during this time.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it last?
Approximately 2–10 days, depending on placement and how well it's cared for. Tattoos on hands and wrists tend to wear more quickly. To extend the life of your tattoo, avoid rubbing, oils and alcohol-based products on the area.
Is it waterproof?
Yes. Once fully set, it is waterproof and sweat-resistant — ideal for runs and workouts.
How do I remove it?
Gently rub with warm soapy water or baby oil until the tattoo lifts away. Avoid scrubbing or irritating the skin.
How many tattoos are in a pack?
Each pack contains five designs.
