Choosing the Right Temporary Tattoo
Placement and Fit
Top spots include forearm, chest, and collarbone. For subtle placement, try the wrist or behind the ear. Clean, dry skin and firm pressure for 30 seconds ensure a smooth transfer.

Care and Wear Time
- Wait 8 hours before showering.
- Pat dry instead of rubbing.
- Avoid exfoliation and chlorine pools to extend wear.
Keep a small kit - primer wipe, sealing spray, and patch - to maintain color through travel or festivals.
Tip: Pair one bold and one fine-line tattoo for depth without covering too much skin.
