Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you start applying your temporary tattoo, make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand.

• StickerYou temporary tattoos
• Scissors (if needed)
• Clean, dry skin
• A damp cloth or sponge
• Water
• A mirror (optional for better visibility)

Step 2: Prepare Your Skin

Proper skin preparation ensures better adhesion and longevity of the tattoo.

1. Clean the area of skin where you plan to apply the tattoo.
2. Make sure the skin is dry and free from oils, lotions, or makeup.

Step 3: Cut Out the Tattoo

If your tattoo design is in a larger sheet, you may want to cut it out for easier application.

• Use scissors to carefully cut around the tattoo, leaving a small margin.
• This helps prevent any unwanted skin contact with the adhesive.

Step 4: Remove the Protective Film

Once your tattoo is cut out, carefully peel off the protective film.

• This film protects the tattoo until you’re ready to apply it.

Step 5: Position the Tattoo

Place the tattoo face down on your skin in the desired location.

• Make sure it is straight and centered as per your preference.

Step 6: Apply Water

Using a damp cloth or sponge, apply water to the back of the tattoo.

1. Soak the area thoroughly but avoid over-saturating.
2. Hold the damp cloth against the tattoo for about 30 seconds to ensure proper adhesion.

Step 7: Remove the Tattoo Backing

After 30 seconds, gently peel the backing away from the skin.

• If the tattoo hasn’t transferred completely, reapply the damp cloth for a few more seconds.

Step 8: Allow to Dry

Let the tattoo air dry for a few minutes.

• Avoid touching the tattoo during this time to prevent smudging.

Conclusion

Applying temporary tattoos is a straightforward process that can add fun to any occasion. Remember to prepare your skin properly, cut out the tattoo neatly, and use adequate water for application. Enjoy your new look, and when you're ready to remove the tattoo, simply wash the area with soap and water. For more custom designs, visit StickerYou’s website to order your temporary tattoos.
