Choosing temporary tattoos
Start with the form. Thin, water-slide sheets suit fine detail, while larger pressed-on designs cover more of the arm or back. Check the listed size against the area you plan to cover.
Next, consider finish and skin. Matte designs look more like ink, while metallic or glitter finishes show more on textured skin. On hair, choose a thinner transfer, since thick hair can lift the edges. Check the ingredient list, and skip products that do not list their ingredients.
Getting the most from temporary tattoos
Clean and dry the skin first, and keep oily lotion away from the spot. Follow the package steps and press firmly with a damp cloth for an even transfer.
Designs fade with washing, sweat, and rubbing, so expect a few days of wear and plan touch-ups. For extra shine, pair them with body glitter or body paint on nearby skin.
Questions about temporary tattoos
Can I shower with them on?
Most can handle a quick rinse, but hot water and scrubbing loosen the edges sooner. Pat dry rather than rubbing.
How do I remove one?
Most fade on their own. To speed removal, rub gently with plain cooking oil or an oil-based cleanser, then wash with soap and water.
