Stand in front of a mirror near a sink and have a towel handy to absorb dripping water.

1. Love Yourself
   You are more than your body. You are whole, complete and beautiful just as you are.
2. Plan Application Timing
   Avoid applying tattoos near bedtime as they require a couple of hours to set completely.
3. Preparation is Key
   Ensure skin is clean, dry, and free of oil, lotions, or hair. Gently wipe with rubbing alcohol and allow to dry completely. Do not apply tattoos to healing incisions or open wounds.
4. Remove the Clear Plastic Layer
   Peel off the clear top layer from the tattoo. This is an essential step.
5. Position the Tattoo
   Determine desired placement of the tattoo using the stickers provided. Place the tattoos face down on the skin with the lighter side of the tattoo to the top (to give appearing of shading on the bottom). Press firmly and refrain from lifting or repositioning the tattoo once applied.
6. Wet the Paper Backing
   Wet a paper towel and hold it against the tattoo for at least 30 seconds.
7. Remove the Backing
   Gently lift off the paper backing. Continue to hold the paper towel on longer if it doesn’t slide off easily.
8. Rinse Gently
   Lightly pat the tattoo with water using your fingertips to ensure it adheres smoothly to your skin.
9. Allow to Dry Thoroughly
   Let the tattoo air dry completely. A hair dryer on a low setting can be used to accelerate this process. Avoid dressing for at least 15 minutes to prevent smudging.
10. Set with Powder (highly recommended)
    Once dry, apply a light dusting of powder or cornstarch (best option) to help set the tattoo.

Soak the tattoo with rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer applied to a paper towel. Apply to tattoo, wait 10 seconds, then gently rub until the tattoo begins to peel off. Repeat the process as needed. Any residue can be removed with baby oil.

• Tip: The removal process is easier immediately after bathing or showering as the tattoo absorbs the alcohol quicker when it is wet.

TataTattoos can last several days depending on various factors (including oiliness of skin) and how they are cared for. Below are tips to maximize wear time from your tattoos:

• Apply Powder Daily
  Apply a light dusting of powder daily once the tattoo is dry to help set and extend its wear. Cornstarch powder works best.
• Apply Extra Powder in Humid Conditions
  Tattoos can become tacky and reduce wear time in humid weather. Use extra powder in humid weather, especially before going to bed.
• Wear Gentle Fabrics Under Coarse Fabrics
  Wear a soft fabric layer beneath coarse materials (like linen or twilled cotton) to minimize friction and extend the life of your tattoos.
• Wear Two Layers During Exercise
  A camisole or bra during exercise may help to reduce friction and extend wear time.
• Avoid Prolonged Moisture
  Remove wet or sweaty bras and swimwear promptly to help prevent them from transferring to the material.
• Careful Cleansing
  Use mild soaps and wash the tattoo lightly. Pat the area dry gently and avoid rubbing with a towel or washcloth.
• Handle with Care
  Physical contact and caressing may reduce the wear time of your tattoos. Our suggestion is to keep an extra pair on hand for any special occasions :)
• Avoid Storing in Humid Conditions
  such as a bathroom. TataTattoos can be stored for long periods of time if kept in dry conditions.

**Adhesive Film Tip
Lighter tattoo colors may sometimes develop a shadowy film from clothing fuzz. A light dusting of powder may help prevent this. If the adhesive film does occur, it can be corrected by a very light swipe with alcohol on a paper towel. DO NOT rub as alcohol also removes the tattoos.
