Removing a temporary tattoo can sometimes be difficult
Especially semi-permanent tattoos are hard to remove. They really penetrate the skin, making it difficult to treat the tattoo with makeup remover, skin oil, or tape. In this blog, we have listed all possible methods so you can remove your temporary tattoo.
4 tips to remove your temporary tattoo
- Scrubbing the skin. Apply a little skin oil or scrub to the spot where you applied the temporary tattoo. Then take a washcloth or small towel and scrub the tattoo off. You will notice that the temporary tattoo fades quickly. Rinse off the oil or scrub and tattoo residue with water and soap. You’re ready to go tattoo-free again!
- Removing with tape. Yes, you read that right. It is possible to remove your temporary tattoo with tape. First, take a piece of tape, cut it, and apply it to the spot where you placed the temporary tattoo. Make sure the piece of tape sticks well to the temporary tattoo. Then pull the tape off the skin and you will see the tattoo come off with it. Repeat this until the tattoo is completely removed. Warning: do not do this on areas with a lot of hair, as it can be very painful!
- Using a greasy cream. Apply a thick layer of cream to the spot where you have the temporary tattoo. Let it soak in well for an hour. Then remove the tattoo residue and cream with some water and soap. And voilà, your tattoo is gone!
- Nail polish remover. For the most stubborn temporary tattoos, you can use nail polish remover. Have you tried everything and nothing seems to work? Then put a little nail polish remover on a cotton pad and scrub over the temporary tattoo. You will notice the tattoo starts to fade. Repeat this process several times and your temporary tattoo will disappear like snow in the sun.
