Frequently asked questions.
Application
How do I apply a Momentary Tattoo?
Clean the area with the included primer wipe and let the skin dry.
Remove the clear film and place the tattoo face down.
Press a damp cloth or sponge firmly for 30 seconds.
Remove the backing paper and allow the tattoo to air dry.
Your tattoo will appear faint at first and will fully develop after 24–36 hours.
Wear & Longevity
How long do they last?
Each momentary tattoo lasts 5–10 days, depending on aftercare, friction, and placement.
Are they waterproof?
Yes, once developed, the tattoos are waterproof and hold up to showering, swimming, and daily wear.
Are they safe for sensitive skin?
The formula is plant-based and gentle on all skin tones.
If you’re prone to sensitivities, perform a small patch test before full application.
Can I use lotions or sunscreen over the tattoo?
Yes, once the tattoo has fully developed (after 24–36 hours).
Avoid lotions, oils, or sunscreen immediately after application, as they may affect development.
Removal
How do I remove the tattoo?
Semi-permanent tattoos fade on their own, but removal can be sped up with:
Oil (coconut, jojoba, baby oil, or cleansing oil)
Micellar water
Makeup remover
Gentle exfoliation with a cloth or loofah
Massage oil into the tattooed area, let it sit for 1–2 minutes, and wipe away. Repeat as needed over 24–48 hours.
