Factors that Affect Longevity

The longevity of a temporary tattoo depends on several factors, including the type of temporary tattoo, the location on the body, and the care given to the tattoo. Tattoos located on areas of the body that are exposed to friction, such as the hands or feet, may fade faster than tattoos located on less exposed areas. Proper care of the tattoo, including avoiding lotions including moisturizer, sunscreen etc and exposure to water and not picking or scratching the tattoo, can also impact its longevity.

Temporary tattoos can be removed easily with either rubbing alcohol, coconut oil or another type of oil. Simply rub the oil over until it loosens and rubs away, it may flake off in chunks slighlty that you can also pick off.
