FAQ

Patch testing is not usually necessary for temporary tattoos as they do not penetrate the skin like permanent tattoos. However, some people may have sensitive skin or an allergy to certain ingredients used in the tattoo ink or adhesive, which can cause a skin reaction.

To reduce the risk of an adverse reaction, it's recommended to test a small area of skin with the temporary tattoo before applying it to a larger area. Apply the tattoo to a small patch of skin, such as the inside of the wrist, and leave it on for 24 hours. If there is no reaction or irritation, it should be safe to apply the temporary tattoo to a larger area.

If you have a history of skin allergies or sensitivity, or if you experience any discomfort or irritation during the patch test or after applying the temporary tattoo, it's best to avoid using them altogether and consult a dermatologist for further guidance.

• life time of temporary tattoos and what this depends on ?

The lifetime of a temporary tattoo can vary depending on several factors. In general, temporary tattoos can last anywhere from a few days up to a week or more, depending on the quality of the tattoo and how well it is taken care of.

The main factor affecting the lifetime of a temporary tattoo is the quality of the ink used. High-quality temporary tattoos are made with ink that is designed to last longer and resist fading, while lower-quality tattoos may fade or peel off more quickly.

Another factor is the location on the body where the tattoo is applied. Tattoos applied to areas with more frequent movement, such as the hands or feet, may not last as long as those applied to areas with less movement, such as the upper arm or back.

Additionally, factors such as exposure to water, sweat, and friction can also affect the lifetime of a temporary tattoo. Tattoos applied to areas that are frequently washed or rubbed may not last as long as those applied to areas that are less frequently touched or exposed to water.

Overall, the lifetime of a temporary tattoo can vary depending on several factors, but with proper care, high-quality temporary tattoos can last up to a week or more.
