How long do temporary tattoos last?
Our temporary tattoos last up to a week. They're water-resistant, so a shower or a swim won't wash them off right away. How long yours lasts depends on placement, skin oils, and friction from clothing. Apply to clean, dry, oil-free skin, pat dry after washing, and keep lotions off the design. More tips: care instructions.
How to apply a temporary tattoo
- Wash and dry the area; skip lotion.
- Cut out the design and peel off the clear film.
- Press it face-down onto your skin.
- Hold a damp cloth firmly on the paper for about 30 seconds.
- Slide the paper off gently and let it air dry.
Step-by-step photos: how to apply. To remove, rub gently with baby oil, rubbing alcohol, or tape.
