Written by Tattoos have become an indispensable part of the street scene. It is probably easier to find someone with a tattoo than someone without. Those on the arms, chest, back, and legs are well-known, but you also see them more and more often on feet, toes, hands, fingers, neck, and even face temporary tattoos. Because a real tattoo is forever, getting a temporary tattoo is also becoming increasingly popular. This allows you to get a different temporary tattoo whenever it suits a certain occasion or outfit. Another advantage is that you can try out whether a tattoo is something for you and whether it suits your personality. And although a real tattoo is forever, they are also subject to fashion fads. In the fifties, mermaids, anchors, hearts with names, and pin-ups were very popular. In the eighties and nineties, tribals on the lower back, bands around the upper arm, and cartoon characters made their advance. Nowadays, almost anything is possible, but originality is especially a requirement. Getting a temporary tattoo is especially fun, and it is also for children who want a tattoo, just like mom or dad. Removing a child’s tattoo is very quick and simple, so mom and dad don’t have to worry about it.
How to apply a temporary tattoo
Getting a temporary tattoo is a piece of cake, if you do it with a little care it will stay in place for a few days. To start with it is important that your skin is clean and dry. Shave off any hairs and wash your skin well. Cut out the tattoo and carefully peel off the protective layer. Determine the spot for the temporary tattoo and carefully place it on your skin with the transparent adhesive layer. Take a slightly damp cloth and press the tattoo gently with it for 3 to 5 minutes. Take a corner of the paper and slowly and carefully pull it off your skin. When the tattoo comes loose, stop and press that part a little longer with the cloth. When you have removed the paper, let the tattoo dry for at least 5 minutes. Then dab the tattoo very carefully with the damp cloth. If you follow these instructions for getting a temporary tattoo, little can go wrong and you will enjoy your temporary tattoo for at least 3 to 5 days.
Removing the stick-on tattoo
We all know the tattoo disasters of embarrassing tattoos that were ‘spontaneously’ applied during a night of drinking. Anyone with common sense understands that getting a realistic temporary tattoo is an important decision that you don’t take lightly. That’s why it’s smart to experiment with getting a temporary tattoo first to find out if it’s something for you. The advantage is clear. Removing a stick-on tattoo is done in no time. That way you can always get different temporary tattoo designs that fit a party or festival. To remove a temporary tattoo you no longer need cotton wool or a cloth and baby oil, rose water, or alcohol. If you rub the tattoo with this, it will come off by itself. If it’s difficult, you can also use a little bit of nail polish remover.
How long will the tattoo last?
When the temporary tattoo is applied properly, it will last for at least 3 to 5 days. After that, the colors will fade and parts of the tattoo will come loose from your skin. If you want to enjoy your temporary tattoos that last longer as possible, it is wise to protect them a little while showering and keep them out of the bright sun.
