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.

I had printed some small 56 Sqdn pheonix's for my E E Lightning F6 project. As they were small Phill removed the white background and resized them to 23mm and filled the sheet. They came out absolutely fantastic. I will definitely be using Phill again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Quality waterslides

This is my second purchase from Phoxy design and print. Customer service was very good for my first order when I asked some specific questions about file formats etc. The reply was very fast and I was sent mock ups of my logo sized up to my requirements. The waterslide decals came and I was thrilled with the quality, very sharp and the matt gold ink looked top notch. Very good value for money and highly recommended!

Great Service!

Phoxy were absolutely awesome to order from, I sent a custom design and they printed a couple of options to check which style worked best for me, which turned out to be really helpful and solved a problem I didn’t even know I had! 5 stars, will definitely be ordering from them again and recommending to anyone looking for great transfers

Great decals with excellent comms and speedy delivery

Great communication and help with my first decal print. The colours were a little less vibrant that I was hoping for but that could be my set up and not the print so will add some more intensity on my next print. Would recommend

retro futuristic racing car

Delighted with your work Phoxy! Working on a 1:35 scale kit-bash thing and the racing numbers were very specific, based as they were on a 1930's Bugatti racing car number font. Also needed some very small detail transfers to scatter around the body of the car. The detail and print quality at such a small scale was absolutely spot on and has created a really successful finish. For context, at 8mm across, one of my decals had text on that can easily be read (with a magnifying glass... but it is legible - we are talking about 2pt text here!) Also, the transfer substrate was really thin so you can barely see the edges of the transfers, if at all. It all looks like it's been painted directly on. Great work. Will definitely be returning for more when I next need decals!
