Make Your Temporary Tattoo Last Longer With These Tips and Tricks

Minimum Friction Placement

One of the reasons temporary tattoos tend to fall off in just a few days lies in the friction. The clothes create friction against the tattoo, for example. Also, when we take a shower and rub our skin, we’re not just rubbing the tattoo as well but also exposing it to water. Temporary tattoos hate friction.

So, what we recommend is the minimum friction placement. When you’re deciding where to place your new tattoo, make sure to consider whether the potential area is exposed to friction. If yes, then change the placement idea, and if no, then go for it. High friction areas are hands, for example, feet, inner thighs, inner bicep area, stomach, and so on.
