Temporary Tattoo
Easy-on, easy-off
Ink without the forever
Are temporary tattoos waterproof?
They're water-resistant, not waterproof. Temporary Tattoos handle showers, hand washing and rain, but long soaks, swimming and scrubbing make them fade faster.
Water-resistant, not waterproof
Temporary tattoos hold up well in everyday life. Showering, washing your hands or getting caught in the rain won't affect them much on their own.
What wears them down
Water combined with friction is what breaks them down over time. These shorten the life of a tattoo:
-
Long showers or baths
-
Swimming
-
Washing or scrubbing the same area often
-
Rubbing with a towel or clothing
Make it last longer
-
Avoid soaking the tattoo for long periods.
-
Pat the skin dry instead of rubbing.
-
Keep oil-based products away from the area, since oil is also what removes the tattoo.
Typical wear is 2 to 5 days, depending on skin type, placement and exposure to water and friction. Read more in How long do temporary tattoos last? and how to apply and remove them, or see Temporary Tattoos.
