Questions, answered.
Everything parents ask us, grouped by what you are actually trying to find out. If your question is not here, write to us and it probably ends up on this page.
Using the bandage
How does the tattoo transfer work?
Press a wet paper towel over the cutout on the bandage and hold it for 30 seconds. Peel the bandage off and the tattoo has transferred onto the skin.
Do all 20 bandages in a box have a tattoo?
No. Each box holds 10 regular-sized bandages with an integrated temporary tattoo and 10 junior bandages without one. The junior strips are smaller, for fingers and knuckles.
Which tattoo designs are in a box?
Boxes come with assorted designs — a lion, a bunny, an owl and a dinosaur. [Client to confirm the current design set and whether it varies by box.]
How long does the tattoo last, and how do we remove it?
It stays on until you take it off with baby oil. [Client to supply typical wear time.]
The temporary tattoo didn’t transfer. What am I doing wrong?
If the tattoo isn’t transferring completely, you are either 1) not using enough water, 2) not applying enough pressure, or 3) not applying pressure long enough. The towel should be wet (not damp) and the pressure should be applied for 30 seconds.
If the bandage falls off, can I reapply it to my child’s skin and still transfer the tattoo?
No, if the bandage falls off, you typically will not be able to place it back on and have the tattoo transfer. Once removed, the bandage and tattoo adhesives will no longer stick because they are now coated with oils from our skin.
Are the tattoos visible on darker skin tones?
Yes, our tattoos are visible on darker skin tones.
How often should I change my bandage?
Bandages should be changed daily.
Safety and materials
Are the bandages sterile?
Yes. Every bandage is sterile and individually wrapped. [Client to supply final sterility wording.]
Do they contain latex?
They are not made with natural latex. [Client to confirm the claim wording.]
Is the tattoo ink safe for children’s skin?
[Client to supply the ink safety answer. No medical or regulatory claims are made here until that copy is confirmed.]
Are the temporary tattoos made in China?
No. Our temporary tattoos are fully produced in the USA and adhere to the strictest standards for safety and quality. Our tattoos are FDA-compliant, use cosmetic-grade inks, and are free of animal by-products in either testing or production.
Where are they made?
The boxes are converted in Concord, California using USA-based and international materials. Bandage materials are made in China, tattoo materials in the USA, and design, engineering and final assembly happen in California.
What age are they for?
[Client to supply the recommended age range.] Adult supervision during the transfer step is sensible for younger children.

Where do you ship?

Which pack should I buy?

Can I pay in installments?
Yes. Shop Pay splits any order into 2 interest-free installments.
Something arrived damaged or wrong. What now?
