By Pastel Rosii

✨ A creative tool for redirecting self-harm urges through safe, temporary self-expression. ✨

How to Apply

1. Cut Out Your Tattoo

Carefully cut around the tattoo as closely as possible without damaging the artwork.

This helps:

  • Reduce lint sticking to the edges
  • Improve the overall appearance
  • Help the tattoo last longer

2. Prepare Your Skin

  • Wash and dry the area completely.
  • Do not apply lotion, oil, or moisturizer beforehand.
  • Avoid applying over body hair. Trim or shave the area if needed (do not dry shave).

3. Apply the Tattoo

  1. Remove the clear plastic layer from the front of the tattoo.
  2. Place the tattoo face-down on your skin.
  3. Choose a flat area such as your forearm, upper arm, shoulder, or calf.
  4. Firmly press a wet paper towel over the entire back of the tattoo.
  5. Hold until the paper backing slides off easily.
  6. Once removed, gently press the wet paper towel over the tattoo again, paying extra attention to the edges.

Let It Set

For the best results:

  1. Apply a pea-sized amount of sunscreen lotion over the tattoo.
  2. Gently smooth it over the entire design, including the edges.
  3. If any edges are lifting, carefully press them back down.
  4. Try to avoid large movements for 10–20 minutes while the tattoo dries and sets.

This helps create a stronger bond and improves wear time.

Care Tips

To help your tattoo last longer:

✅ Keep lotions and oils away from the tattoo area.

✅ Gently wash with soap and water if the edges become dirty.

✅ Avoid placing tattoos on high-motion areas such as:

  • Wrists
  • Knees
  • Elbows
  • Fingers

For best results, place tattoos about 1–2 inches away from body creases and joints.

✅ The tattoo is waterproof and can last up to 5 days with proper care.

Removing Your Tattoo

  1. Apply baby oil or lotion to the tattoo.
  2. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Apply another layer and wait again.
  4. Once the tattoo becomes sticky, gently rub it away with a soft cloth and more oil if needed.

Tip: Baby oil usually removes the tattoo faster than lotion.
