Semi-permanent tattoos let you test placement or change motifs easily. They fade evenly and work best on clean, dry skin.

Placement and Care

Clean the area first and skip oil-based moisturizers. Let the tattoo set for a few hours before water contact for longer wear. A quick exfoliation before applying helps the ink bond smoothly.

Can I swim with a semi‑permanent tattoo?

Yes, occasional swimming is fine, but long exposure to chlorinated water may shorten its lifespan.
