Guide
How to apply temporary tattoos cleanly
Always follow the instructions that come with the specific product you buy. These are general practices that tend to improve transfer quality for water-transfer style temporary tattoos — not a substitute for final FadeMuse product instructions.

Before you start
- Patch test first if you have sensitive skin.
- Avoid irritated, broken, or freshly shaved skin.
- Choose placement before peeling or wetting the design.
- Plan around clothing friction, watches, and straps.
Application basics
- Start with clean, dry skin — no lotion or oil on the area.
- Position carefully; fine-line art is unforgiving once wet.
- Apply even pressure for the full recommended time.
- Peel slowly and check corners before fully removing backing.
- Let the area dry before dressing or jewelry goes back on.
After
Read aftercare and removal. FadeMuse will publish product-specific steps only after the final material is selected and tested.
Mood imagery is editorial only. Real sample wear photos will replace these after day 1 / 3 / 7 testing.
