How to Apply a Temporary Tattoo

  • Choose the spot on your body for the tattoo and clean with cotton and alcohol.
  • Place the tattoo face down on your body.
  • Press down firmly with a damp cloth.
  • Hold in that position for 60 seconds then gently peel paper off.
  • Let air dry for 1 minute.

  1. I’m one of those people who would never get a tattoo – but love this idea for those that would want one, but don’t want it permanent!

      That’s me, Tammy… tattoos are just not my thing, but a temporary one would be fun from time to time. And they make some really nice ones that most people wouldn’t even know it wasn’t permanent unless I told them. 🙂

      Anne, if you do, you’ll have to take a pic and put it up on your blog! 🙂

  2. That one is really realistic looking!

  3. I’m not the biggest fan of tattoos. Great tips though!

  4. I have a total of 4 real tattoos, they all have special meanings including one for my dad who passed in ’09, but I use temp tattoos right along with them! I totally rock out and put some where I would never get a real one, like my hands. Lots of fun!

  5. I’ve been thinking of getting a REAL one.. I can’t imagine though.

  6. Great idea. My brother is a tattoo artist and I think he spends a lot of time changing or fixing tattoos that people aren’t happy with. It’s great to go temporary first!

  7. I have tattoos and love them, I actually want more 🙂

  8. Using a temporary tattoo first is definitely a good way to start!
