How to Apply Your HeyTats Tattoo

1. Prepare your skin. Choose clean, dry, oil-free skin. Remove excess hair if needed.

2. Position the design. Carefully remove the clear protective film and place the tattoo face-down on your chosen area.

3. Transfer with water. Press a thoroughly damp cloth against the backing for approximately 1–2 minutes. Keep the design firmly in place.

4. Remove the backing. Slowly peel away the paper. The transferred design may look very light initially.

5. Allow the color to develop. The tattoo develops over 24–48 hours. Minimize water, sweat, rubbing and friction while it develops. Follow the detailed instructions on our How It Works page.

How long it lasts: Approximately 10–14 days, depending on placement, skin and aftercare. It fades gradually.
