Thinking your tattoo faded too fast? Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered. Whether it’s your first time or you're a returning fan of our semi-permanent tattoos, these 5 proven tips will help you extend the life of your design and keep it looking sharp.
1. Choose the Right Application Area
Pick a spot with minimal friction and sweat. Areas like the inner forearm, shoulder, back, or outer bicep are ideal. Avoid spots where clothes constantly rub or where skin stretches and bends a lot (like knees or wrists).
2. Prep Your Skin Properly
Clean skin = better results. Make sure to:
-
Wash the area with soap and water
-
Gently exfoliate to remove dead skin
-
Dry thoroughly — skin should be oil-free and smooth
Skip lotion or body oils before applying!
3. Apply with Firm, Even Pressure
Use a wet towel or sponge to press the tattoo down firmly for 30–60 seconds. For large designs like full sleeves or back pieces, use a larger wet cloth or wrap to ensure full contact.
4. Avoid Water and Friction in the First 6 Hours
Once applied, do not rub, stretch, or wash the area for at least 6 hours. This helps the tattoo ink fully oxidize and develop color.
Avoid swimming, sweating, and scrubbing on day one!
5. Protect Your Tattoo Daily
To make your tattoo last longer:
-
Gently pat dry after showers
-
Avoid excessive rubbing or exfoliation
-
Apply a thin layer of moisturizer daily
-
Skip hot tubs or pools if possible
With care, our semi-permanent tattoos can last 7–14 days and fade naturally like a real tattoo.
