How Bobcat applies temporary tattoos, 9 step directions: design, print, cut out, remove clear film, place on skin, wet with a damp cloth, wait 20-30 seconds, peel off paper, enjoy

Before You Begin

  • Choose a smooth, flat area of skin for the best application.
  • Clean the area thoroughly and make sure it is completely dry.
  • Avoid applying lotion, sunscreen, or oils to the skin before application.

Application Steps

Steps 1 and 2 are Bobcat's job: designing and printing your tattoos. Here's your part:

  1. Cut out the design, trimming close to the edge.
  2. Remove the clear film from the front of the tattoo.
  3. Place on skin, face-down, on clean, dry skin.
  4. Wet with a damp cloth. Press a damp cloth or sponge over the back of the paper until it's soaked through.
  5. Wait 20-30 seconds while holding the cloth in place.
  6. Peel off the paper slowly, starting at one corner. If the tattoo starts to lift, lay the paper back down and wet it a little longer.
  7. Enjoy your tattoo! Let it air dry and gently pat away any leftover water. Don't rub.

Longevity Tips

  • Avoid rubbing or scrubbing the tattooed area when washing.
  • Pat the area dry rather than wiping to extend wear time.
  • Avoid applying lotion directly over the tattoo.
  • Temporary tattoos typically last 2-5 days, depending on placement and skin type.

Removal

To remove your temporary tattoo, apply baby oil or rubbing alcohol to the area and gently rub with a soft cloth until the tattoo lifts away. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
