Temporary Tattoo Application and Removal Guide
Tattoo on, tattoo off!
Temporary tattoos are much faster and easier to get on than real tattoos ... thank goodness! The speed and ease with which they go on is a big part of their popularity, however many people still find that applying and removing temporary tattoos is actually a learned skill! If you've got a hot temporary tattoo sitting there and don't want to end up with a partial design, or a tattoo that breaks up the first time you pull a sleeve over it, read our start to finish guide to applying the perfect temporary tattoo, and removing it once you're done.
Placing your temporary tattoo
If the temporary tattoo is going on one of your kids, they'll probably already have strong ideas about where it is allowed, and not allowed! If you're popping on a cool temporary tattoo of your own, though, you might want to think beyond the bicep. Here are some unusual but attractive placements for temporary tatts, depending on their shape:
• On the back of your neck
• On your cheek
• Along the length of your shoulder blade
• On your hip
• On your lower back
• On the top of your foot
Preparing your skin
You'll want to wash the area where the temporary tattoo is to be applied with soap and water. Oils, creams and lotions may all affect how long the design stays on, and the length of time before it starts breaking up. Make sure your skin is dry before you pop the tattoo on.
If you have thick or coarse hair in the area where you want to apply your temporary tattoo, shave it first for best results.
Grab a pal
If you're putting the temporary tattoo on the back of your neck, your shoulder-blade or any other difficult to reach place, enlist the help of a friend to make sure it's on straight. If you shift the tattoo around while its setting because you're holding yourself in an awkward position, it won't work properly - make sure you can hold your pose for at least 45 seconds if there are no mates available!
Place the tattoo
If you need to cut your temporary tattoo out of a combo sheet, try to leave at least 3mm space after the edge of the design, to allow for minimal peeling after it has dried.
Peel off the plastic backing and put the tattoo on your skin, with the image facing downwards. Grab a wet washcloth and press it onto the back of the tattoo. Make sure the paper is saturated - some temporary tattoos have thicker paper than others, and will need more water to allow the design to transfer onto your skin. Press the design down for 30-40 seconds.
Peel the backing off
Do this slowly and carefully ... if you notice any areas where the temporary tattoo picture is still attached to the paper, pop it back down immediately and put the washcloth back on. Squeeze a little water onto it, and press down for another 30 seconds or so to get the last little bits off.
Leave it to airdry
Don't blot or wipe it dry straight away - the temporary tattoo is still fragile and may just wipe off.
Removing your temporary tattoo
This is far easier than getting it on! Depending on the particular materials used, you can try any of the following methods:
• Baby oil/cooking oil and a cotton ball
• Mineral turpentine and a cotton ball
• Putting adhesive tape over the top of the temporary tattoo and pulling away like a Band-aid to remove the tattoo.

Help with tattoo after care?
Im getting a tattoo soon and I just want a heads up on the after care. Im sure the tattooist will explain this all to me but uknw
Its going to be behind my ear
How long till I can have a shower? and are normal shampoos etc okay?
I know I shouldnt get water directly on it but its behind my ear...so itd be hard not to get it rather wet
How often do I apply ointment etc? How do I apply it? (with fingers, cotton, wipe or pat it)
How long (on average) does it take for a tattoo to heal and you can stop doing anything special to it?
Scouth - Well im def not listening to you. Vaseline draws the colour out of tattoos....
You can take a shower when you get home. It's okay if water hits it, you just don't want to soak it. Try to avoid getting scented shampoos on the tattoo. It will most likely burn if it hits it. You apply a thin layer ointment after you wash it gently, which is about 2-3 times a day. You apply it with your fingers, don't rub too hard, just put a thin layer on.
I use Rocco's Old School on my tattoos. Old and new. Works great. Heals fast.
