Classic Custom Tattoo

At TemporaryTattoos.com we know that tattoos are used for self-expression. We want to empower you to express yourself. We also understand that tattoo art is subjective. Certain designs, terms or concepts, while sensitive for some, can often be a source of empowerment and expression for others. Please review our full guidelines here...

Custom Tattoo Content Guidelines

A 1/8” trim size margin between the printed image and the edge of the paper, on all four sides, is required for all custom temporary tattoos up to a 3” x 3" paper size. Thus, your custom temporary tattoo itself will be ¼” smaller than the paper size selected. As an example, a 2” x 2” custom tattoo will have an imprint size of 1.75” x 1.75”. For custom tattoos on paper sizes larger than 3" x 3", a 3/8” trim size margin is required between the printed image and the edge of the paper, on all four sides.

When producing a temporary tattoo, only your design will be printed with the artwork you provided, fitting it specifically to the tattoo paper size ordered, less trim size margins. Your design is the only thing printed, not the entire size of the tattoo sheet. This elimiates any need to die cut the paper to the size of your tattoo.

Our temporary tattoos last 3-5 days, depending on the size and placement of the tattoo. For the best application, be sure your skin is dry and free of oil, lotion and makeup. Choose a smooth, hair-free area that doesn’t crease or stretch when you move. Once applied, our tattoos are waterproof, so they won’t come off in the shower or pool.

Our temporary tattoos are fast and easy to apply; and all you need is water and a wet cloth. Your skin should be clean, dry, and free of lotion, oils, and makeup. First, remove the clear, protective top sheet. Then, press the tattoo firmly onto your skin with the design facing down. Hold a wet cloth against the back of the tattoo, press down and make sure to wet the paper thoroughly. Wait 30 seconds and slowly peel off the paper backing. Gently rinse the image with water for the best result and allow the tattoo to dry before touching or covering with clothing. Every TemporaryTattoos.com tattoo has application instructions printed on the back as well.
