1) How do I know your tattoos are safe?

Our temporary tattoos have been tested by the United States Testing Company, Inc. for flammability, toxicology (eye and skin irritation), and chemical analysis.  These tests resulted in zero irritation.  Our temporary tattoos are in compliance with all applicable government standards for consumer products; they are considered cosmetics for testing purposes.

Although our temporary tattoos have tested safe for eye and skin irritability, we recommend that the tattoos should not be used near the eyes or on sensitive skin.  They should be removed only with rubbing alcohol or cellophane tape, and should NEVER be rubbed or scratched off, as this will irritate the skin underneath the transfer. 

It may reassure you to know that we have applied our tattoos to children in hospitals in Akron, Columbus and Dayton, Ohio, to help cheer them up.  We have also had hospitals place custom orders for our temporary tattoos.

2) How is your quality better than other temporary tattoos?

We use a unique process to make our temporary tattoos: silk screening.  This gives the tattoo bright, vibrant colors that last for days.  They also apply easier, without ripping or shredding.  Once you apply them, they are waterproof – they will not run in the rain or wash off in the shower.  

3) How are the temporary tattoos put on?

The tattoos come on a small sheet of paper with a thin cover sheet on top.  Cut out one tattoo and peel off the cover sheet.  Place the tattoo face down on clean, dry skin (make-up may prevent the tattoo from adhering to the skin properly).  Take a wet cloth or paper towel and press it against the paper backing of the tattoo for 20 seconds, or until the paper is thoroughly soaked.  Carefully peel the paper away, and use the wet cloth to smooth down the edges of the tattoo against the skin.

4) How do you remove the tattoos?

DO NOT rub, scrub, or scratch the tattoo off, as this may damage your skin! To remove, press tape over the tattoo, then peel away.  Tattoos also dissolve with baby oil or rubbing alcohol. Some make-up removers (e.g., Mary Kay) and baby wipes (e.g. Huggies) can remove any adhesive residue, as well.

If you are selling them as a fund raiser or applying them to customers, YOU MUST make sure your customers understand how to remove them.   When we ship your order, we include a sheet of instructions that you can copy and hand out to your customers.  Or, simply give the customer the paper backing from the tattoo application; the removal instructions are printed there as well.

5) How long will the tattoos last?

Our tattoos will last from 1 to 5 days before they show excessive wear.  They can be removed by pressing tape on top of them and peeling the tattoo away, or use rubbing alcohol to dissolve the tattoo.  DO NOT RUB, SCRUB OR SCRATCH OFF the tattoos, as you may damage the skin in the process.

6) Do the tattoos wash off with soap and water?

NO!! They are waterproof!  Please do not try to wash the tattoos off with soap and water.  If you are selling them as a fund raiser or applying them to customers, YOU MUST make sure your customers understand how to remove them.  They can be removed by pressing tape on top of the tattoo and then peeling it away, or use rubbing alcohol to dissolve the tattoo.  DO NOT RUB, SCRUB OR SCRATCH OFF the tattoos, as you may damage the skin in the process.   When we ship your order, we include a sheet of instructions that you can copy and hand out to your customers.  Or, simply give the customer the paper backing from the tattoo application; the removal instructions are printed there as well.
