In this blog post, we will address all your most asked questions regarding their safety, longevity, and potential side effects and any other questions you may have to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of this temporary body art. - About Skin Safety - what you need to know Firstly to mention - We use the best quality temporary tattoo materials in the market. Everything is FDA approved and certified with no adverse reactions listed. We advise the tattoos to be used for ages 3+ Generally..Are Temporary Tattoos Safe? Temporary tattoos, specifically water transfer tattoos, are considered safe for use. They are made using non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and skin-friendly materials, making them suitable for individuals of all ages, including children and adults. When used as intended, water transfer temporary tattoos are not harmful. However, it's crucial to carefully follow our instructions to ensure safe application and removal. Avoid using temporary tattoos on broken or irritated skin to prevent any potential adverse reactions. 2. Are Temporary Tattoos Toxic? Water transfer temporary tattoos are typically made from non-toxic materials and are considered safe for use. However, it is crucial to only purchase tattoos from reputable sources and follow the instructions for safe application and removal. 3. Can Temporary Tattoos Cause Allergic Reactions or Make You Sick?? When used as directed, water transfer temporary tattoos should not make you sick. Our tattoo materials and inks combined are all FDA approved and certified with no adverse reactions listed. However, we are all individuals so if you experience any unusual symptoms or skin reactions after applying a temporary tattoo, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional. 4. Are Temporary Tattoos Bad for Your Skin? Temporary tattoos are generally safe for your skin with no reported reaction, However, to provide peace of mind, we offer a test tattoo with every order as a thoughtful gesture. This is not a legal obligation, but rather an opportunity for you to try it on sensitive areas of your skin beforehand, ensuring that you have no adverse reactions before applying the main tattoo. 5. Are Temporary Tattoos Safe During Pregnancy? There is no specific evidence suggesting that water transfer temporary tattoos are unsafe during pregnancy. However, it is always recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before using any new products during pregnancy. 6. Are Temporary Tattoos Safe for Babies? Whilst our water transfer temporary tattoos are safe for use, it is recommended to avoid applying them to babies' delicate skin. Babies have highly sensitive skin, and it's essential to consult a paediatrician before using any tattoo products on infants. 7. Are Temporary Tattoos Safe for Toddlers? InkBound water transfer temporary tattoos are generally safe for toddlers - they are for use from ages 3+. It is advisable to supervise their application and ensure they do not put the tattoo in their mouth or eyes. 8. Are Temporary Tattoos Allowed in School? School policies regarding temporary tattoos may vary, so it's advisable to check your school's guidelines. However, since temporary tattoos are non-permanent and typically non-disruptive, they are often allowed in most educational settings but please check first! 9. Are Temporary Tattoos Waterproof? Water transfer temporary tattoos are designed to be waterproof, allowing them to resist fading or smudging when exposed to water. Whether you're competitive swimming, showering, or participating in water activities, these tattoos will typically remain intact. 10. Are Temporary Tattoos Water Permeable? Water transfer temporary tattoos are water permeable, meaning they will not be damaged by water once applied. However, excessive rubbing or scrubbing while the tattoo is wet may cause it to peel prematurely. 11. Are Temporary Tattoos a Sin? Whether or not temporary tattoos are considered a sin depends on individual religious beliefs. It is advisable to consider your personal spiritual guidelines and consult with religious leaders if you have concerns. 12. Are Temporary Tattoos Painful? Temporary tattoos do not typically cause pain during application or removal. Unlike permanent tattoos, they are not applied with needles and do not penetrate the skin. 13. Can Temporary Tattoos Go Over Makeup? Temporary tattoos can go over makeup; however, it's advisable to apply the tattoo before applying any other cosmetics. This allows the tattoo to adhere properly to the skin for better longevity. 14. Can you Wear Temporary Tattoos in the Sun? Temporary tattoos are generally safe to wear in the sun but if you are looking for a sun tan then note the area that the tattoo is covering will not get those rays on it! 15. Can Temporary Tattoos Cover Scars or Birthmarks? Temporary tattoos can be used to cover scars or birthmarks, depending on their size and location. However, it's important to note that temporary tattoos may not provide full coverage or camouflage, especially for more prominent or deeply pigmented markings. It's best to experiment with different tattoo designs and sizes to find the most effective option for your specific needs. We strongly advise not to apply over any scars or wounds that are under 12 months old. You should be completely healed before applying anything on your skin. 16. How Can I Make My Temporary Tattoo Last Longer? The longevity of a temporary tattoo depends on various factors, such as the quality of the tattoo, the location on the body, and the individual's skin type. However, there are a few steps you can take to help your temporary tattoo last longer. These include avoiding excessive rubbing or scrubbing, keeping the tattoo dry and avoiding prolonged exposure to water, and applying a thin layer of clear nail polish over the tattoo to provide extra protection. 17. Can Temporary Tattoos Be Removed? Yes, temporary tattoos can be easily removed. One method is to gently rub the tattooed area with soap and warm water, or you can use baby oil, rubbing alcohol. It’s important to be gentle when removing the tattoo to avoid irritating the skin. 18. How do temporary tattoos work? Temporary tattoos work through a process called "reverse printing." When you apply the temporary tattoo on your skin, the water in the paper dissolves the glue, allowing the ink to transfer onto your skin. 19. How do you apply temporary tattoos? To apply a water transfer tattoo, you need to clean and dry the area of your skin where you want to place it. Then, you remove the protective plastic sheet from the tattoo, press it firmly onto your skin, and using lukewarm water wet the back of the paper with a sponge or cloth. After a few seconds, you can gently peel off the paper to reveal the tattoo. You must rinse off the remaining adhesive from the surface of your tattoo and then leave it to set on your skin for a minimum 20 minutes, it will be fully set within a few hours and start looking more matte over time. For more detailed instructions please see our ‘How To Apply Page’ 20. How do you remove temporary tattoos? Our temporary tattoos can be easily removed with rubbing alcohol, baby oil, or even just soap and water. Gently rub the removal solution onto the tattoo until it starts to fade, and then wash the area with water. 21. Can Temporary Tattoos Become Permanent? No, temporary tattoos are designed to fade over time or can be easily removed. They do not penetrate the skin's deeper layers like permanent tattoos, so they will naturally fade away or disappear with proper removal. 22. How much do our temporary tattoos cost?
