How long does Conscious Ink last on skin?

Conscious Ink Manifestation Temporary Tattoos last 3-7 days on average, based on attentive application, tattoo placement area, skin type and activity level. We recommend using a little rubbing alcohol to clean/prep the skin to increase length of wear. (Excessive sweat and heat reduces the life of the tattoo.) Do not apply tattoos on hot or sweaty skin, or skin with lotion, as they will not adhere to skin properly. 

Can I shower with my Conscious Ink?

Yes, water and most soaps will not remove your tattoo, but do avoid excessive scrubbing of ink directly. Prolongued swimming may impact wear.

Are Conscious Ink tattoos safe for application to my skin?

Safety is the highest priority at Conscious Ink. All Conscious Ink Temporary Tattoos are made in the USA with cosmetic-grade FDA certified inks, and every tattoo meets or exceeds all U.S., Canadian and European Union regulatory requirements, including FDA, CPSC and ASTM. Our tattoos have been rigorously tested as safe and non-toxic, and meet or surpass safety standards for cosmetics and toy products. Vegan. Cruelty-free, never tested on animals, and contain no animal products.

Temporary tattoos are not recommended for those with sensitive skin, or if allergic to adhesives. Not recommended applying near eyes, or on lips, as skin is more sensitive there. Not intended for children under 4 years old.

Concerned about soy allergies?

Our temporary tattoos do contain an ingredient called, glycine soya, which is associated with the soybean. However, the glycine soya has not posed allergic risks. It is an oil that is a drying agent. What that means is that it hardens to coat the surfaces of the ink in the tattoo. The allergy comes from residual protein in the oil, but, once the oil hardens, if any at all protein exists, it would be incorporated into the coating from the “drying”. Drying means that the unsaturated oils in the total oil react with oxygen, in turn they form a clear polymer. This coating encapsulates the inks and other ingredients of the tattoo, in addition to the adhesive which acts as a barrier between the tattoo and the skin.

How are temporary tattoos applied?

Conscious Ink is fast and easy to apply. The skin should be clean and free of OILS, LOTIONS and MAKE-UP. Next, remove the clear, protective top sheet. Then press the tattoo firmly onto clean, dry skin with the design facing down. Hold a wet paper towel, or cloth, against the back of the tattoo, press down and make sure to soak it thoroughly. Wait 30 seconds and slowly peel-off the paper backing. Gently rinse the image with water for best effect and allow the tattoo to dry before touching or covering with clothing. To significantly increase the longevity of your tattoo, we recommend using a little rubbing alcohol to clean the skin area first, especially if you have oily skin or use lotion regularly. Every temporary tattoo has "How to Apply" instructions on the back. ATTENTION: Don't apply to sensitive skin, open wounds, or if allergic to adhesive.
