How long do temporary tattoos last?

Do you know how long non-permanent tattoos last? Surely at some point you’ve thought about getting a tattoo. Maybe you’ve done it, or maybe you’ve had doubts because you didn’t know if it would look good on you. It’s normal, according to a survey conducted in the US, up to 75% of people who have tattoos regret it, mainly because of the place they chose to get the tattoo.

For that among other things, temporary tattoos have come into the world.

Duration of temporary tattoos

Decals or temporary tattoos last between 4 days and 2 weeks depending on friction. You’ve probably heard of tattoos that last six months and disappear, or that last several weeks in perfect condition. Let’s see what these products really consist of:

• Semi-permanent tattoos: They are offered as real tattoos that last between 6 months and 5 years, but the reality is that these tattoos do not exist. The theory is that by applying the design to the external parts of the skin, it will eventually disappear. But this is not the case. What remains is an indefinite stain that doesn’t go away completely. I don’t recommend getting one of these tattoos, you’ll spend money and you won’t end up satisfied with the medium-term result.
• Temporary tattoos: They are based on the same principle as a rubber stamp. It is a drawing in ink that dyes the skin through pressure. Sometimes a template with the shape of the tattoo is used. The ink is applied over the template, dyeing the skin for up to two weeks. They have a realistic finish, although they only allow the use of one color and are limited to the type of templates available. If you are interested in this option, it is important to look for a manufacturer that uses dermatologically tested cosmetic inks.
• Decals or temporary tattoos: By moistening a transferable paper, an inked film is applied to the skin. This film can contain any design; decals are 100% customizable.
