Application Instructions - Temporary Tattoos

Click Here to order these transfers directly from us directly to save money :)

Don't worry if your tattoo doesn't look like you are expecting, it's printed in reverse so you are initially seeing the back, which may have some white printed so that it shows up nicely once applied :)
Cut around the design as close as you can sensibly, you can use a pair of scissors or knife. It's ok to leave a few mm space as the edges will be barely visible once applied.
Peel off the clear glossy backing and make sure you don't touch the surface of the design as it's very sticky and this is what makes it adhere to the skin once applied.
Clean the area and ideally apply to somewhere with no hairs. Feel free to shave the area if required. The skin must be completely DRY or the tattoo won't stick properly.
Soak the Tattoo with a fairly wet sponge or smooth cloth (you could use an old t-shirt for example, it won't get damaged, it's just to wet the backing paper. Hold the wet sponge/cloth on the paper and make sure the whole area is soaked with water so it's almost dripping. The paper is darker when wet so you will be able to see if any part of the paper isn't wet. Soak for around 30 seconds.
Then you can slide off or peel the paper backing off to reveal the tattoo. If it feels like it's sticking somewhere, apply more water to that area, if it's all wet, it should slide off freely.
Gently press on the tattoo itself with the wet sponge/cloth to press it on to the skin, then allow to dry.

NOTES -
The tattoo has a high adhesive effect. Depending on the design and its size as well as where the tattoo is placed, the durability is about 2-4+ days.
If you wish to remove your tattoo earlier, you can simply use sticky tape / scotch tape or use skin oils and rub it off.
If you like a more matte looking appearance, you can rub sun cream carefully over your new tattoo.

Custom Waterslide Decals - Full Colour Digital Laser Printed Transfers - Ready-To-Apply

Unexpectedly quick service, great product.

The website said the company was shutting down for a holiday, I was going away for a few days myself but placed my order so the product might be delivered fairly soon after I got back, but the product actually came within one working day. The product was exactly as advertised, and great quality. Would definitely use again.

Custom Metallic Waterslide Decals/Transfers

Excellent waterslide transfers, excellent service

I needed waterslide transfers for a personal project I'm working on, and that's how I came across Phoxy Design. Having decided to buy, I prepared my source material to their specifications and was ready to submit my order. The company's web site said they were on reduced service due to the summer holidays, and that for the coming week they would be closed. As I was about to go away for a few days myself, I decided to submit my order straight away in order to have them as soon as possible when I returned, and they turned around my order inside twenty-four hours. That, people, is service, I am very grateful and should I need similar products again, I will definitely be back!
