Application Instructions - Temporary Tattoos
- Don't worry if your tattoo doesn't look like you are expecting, it's printed in reverse so you are initially seeing the back, which may have some white printed so that it shows up nicely once applied :)
- Cut around the design as close as you can sensibly, you can use a pair of scissors or knife. It's ok to leave a few mm space as the edges will be barely visible once applied.
- Peel off the clear glossy backing and make sure you don't touch the surface of the design as it's very sticky and this is what makes it adhere to the skin once applied.
- Clean the area and ideally apply to somewhere with no hairs. Feel free to shave the area if required. The skin must be completely DRY or the tattoo won't stick properly.
- Soak the Tattoo with a fairly wet sponge or smooth cloth (you could use an old t-shirt for example, it won't get damaged, it's just to wet the backing paper. Hold the wet sponge/cloth on the paper and make sure the whole area is soaked with water so it's almost dripping. The paper is darker when wet so you will be able to see if any part of the paper isn't wet. Soak for around 30 seconds.
- Then you can slide off or peel the paper backing off to reveal the tattoo. If it feels like it's sticking somewhere, apply more water to that area, if it's all wet, it should slide off freely.
- Gently press on the tattoo itself with the wet sponge/cloth to press it on to the skin, then allow to dry.
NOTES - - The tattoo has a high adhesive effect. Depending on the design and its size as well as where the tattoo is placed, the durability is about 2-4+ days.
- If you wish to remove your tattoo earlier, you can simply use sticky tape / scotch tape or use skin oils and rub it off.
- If you like a more matte looking appearance, you can rub sun cream carefully over your new tattoo.

Great t-shirts
Good quality
This color chart is very useful for anyone working with CMYK printing.
Phil is so flexible and friendly.
This is the second time I've ordered from him, and won't hesitate to use PhoxyPrinting in future.
Outstanding.
Seems really good
As always, fantastic service and product.
Awesome tshirt. Was very well received. Great communication with seller.
I ordered custom waterslide transfers for a short run of product prototypes. They were very small and detailed.
I was extremely happy with the company communication, the quality of the transfers and the fast turnaround time, which allowed me to hit my tight deadline.
Thank you.
These arrived in exceptionally quick time and the quality of prints is excellent. Thanks again for a great service. Much appreciated
The quality was fantastic and precisely what I was looking for, and the seller was very helpful! The shipping was longer than I expected, but that's not on the seller but more likely a result of customs and such complications since Brexit.
Attaching it was easypeasy (of the "lemon-squeezey" kind) and the result exceeded my expectations! Will likely order again!
Exactly what I needed, I love it thanks.
These decals are excellent. Thin yet strong, compliant with decal solutions (I used Microsol and set) and great colour density.
Highly recommended.
Ordered some waterslide decals for a couple of Lego projects and they were exactly as I'd hoped. Awesome quality. Arrived quickly. No issues whatsoever. Thanks!
Amazing service! Phill went above and beyond to ensure I got the results I wanted for my heat transfer vinyl book covers. They all turned out great!
