Easy-on, easy-off
All the ink, no pressure
How long do temporary tattoos last?
Temporary Tattoos last 2 to 5 days, depending on placement, skin type and how much water and friction they're exposed to.
Think about placement
A temporary tattoo usually lasts 2 to 5 days. Where you put it and how you treat it makes the biggest difference.
Placement
Areas that aren't rubbed or washed often hold up better.
-
Lasts longer: arms, shoulders and legs
-
Fades faster: hands, face and joints, since they move more and get washed more often
Skin type
Oily skin, or skin with a lot of hair, can make the tattoo stick less well or wear down faster. Contact with clothing also affects how long it lasts.
Make it last
-
Apply it to clean, dry skin and let it set properly.
-
Avoid heavy rubbing.
-
Keep oil-based products away from the area. Oil is what removes the tattoo.
