Step One: Prepare
Your body is a work of art. Let’s prepare the canvas. Be sure your skin is clean, dry, and oil/lotion free. To increase the longevity of your tattoo, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND using a little rubbing alcohol to clean/prep the skin area first, especially if you have oil skin or use lotion regularly. Do not apply tattoos on skin that is sweaty or hot from a workout, like after a hot yoga class. Tattoos won’t adhere properly. Wait for the skin to cool down before applying.
Step Two: Set
Select an area on your body that doesn’t get too much wear & tear (or that can be rubbed by jewelry). The forearm is a perfect spot, as opposed to the wrist. We don’t recommend placing on hands or feet for long-term wear. You can shower and wash normally. Most soaps do not impact your tattoo.
Step Three: Manifest
Patience is a virtue. Take your time here. Remove clear cover. Place the tattoo face down on the skin. Soak the back of the tattoo with a wet sponge/paper towel. Soak thoroughly all the way to the edges! Wait at least 30 seconds. During this time, you can focus on what you’d like to manifest. That’s it. Your tattoo and intention have just been set! If you notice any stickiness from the tattoo after application, this is just excessive adhesive that you can gently wash off with soap and water. You can also apply a little baby powder on the tattoo if you ever find your tattoo sticky. After application, your tattoo may appear a bit shiny. This wears off naturally within a couple of hours. A dash of baby powder will also remove any sheen. If your tattoo appears “cracked” upon application, this is normal. After a few hours, the ink “loosens up” and fills in those cracked lines naturally.
TATTOO REMOVAL
Use household tape, baby oil, rubbing alcohol, or hand sanitizer.
