1). Be sure your child’s skin is clean and dry before you apply the temporary ID tattoo. Please make sure your child’s skin does not have sunscreen or lotion on it before applying SafetyTat.

2). Choose a place to apply on his or her arm — any body part that doesn’t have a lot of hair. Choose a spot on your child to apply SafetyTat where your child will not be tempted to remove it (like on the outside of arm, inside wrist, shoulder) If your child does not pick or pull the “Quick Stick Write-On!” SafetyTat, it can last for days, even weeks!

4). Apply, to skin, adhesive side down, press firmly 20 seconds

“Low and slow” works best: Loosen edges of SafetyTat with fingernail (You may consider using a moisturizer to soften the adhesive along the peel edge.) Hold the skin next to the SafetyTat ID tattoo with one finger. Remove SafetyTat “low and slow”, keeping it close to skin surface and pulled back over itself. As the SafetyTat ID tattoo is removed, continue supporting the skin next to the SafetyTat with one finger.

While you are applying your SafetyTat Temporary ID Tattoo, talk to your child about safety, and the significance of his or her SafetyTat. Take a look at some of our recommended child safety tips to jump start your conversation.

1). Be sure your child’s skin is clean and dry before you apply the temporary tattoo. Please make sure your child’s skin does not have sunscreen or lotion on it before applying SafetyTat. Please avoid using sunscreen on or near your SafetyTat, as many brands will break down the adhesive.

2). Choose a place to apply on his or her arm—any body part that doesn’t have a lot of hair.

3). Carefully peel the clear transfer sheet away from the colored side of the temporary ID tattoo.

4). With dry hands, press and hold firmly in place on your child’s arm for one minute so your body heat can activate the adhesive on the skin. This is probably the most important step to a good application!

5). Now, use your WARM wet paper towel to thoroughly wet the back of the temporary tattoo. As the water soaks in, the tattoo will become visible through the paper. Use lots of water for best results. Within about 30 seconds, the paper will soon easily slip from your child’s temporary tattoo. Let the tattoo dry thoroughly. This can take several minutes. Please be sure your SafetyTat is dry before covering with clothing (or sheets/blankets).

If your tattoo still seems sticky after you have wet it and slipped the paper off, simply add more water to the top. This is just residual adhesive from the protective paper you have removed. TAT TIP Baby powder! After your SafetyTat dries completely, and if it still seems somewhat sticky, sprinkle just a little baby powder on it and lightly rub. This is such a great Tat Tip, and it feels so nice, too!

For best results, apply a new Original Style SafetyTat each day.
