Are temporary tattoos resistant to accidental scratching?

While temporary tattoos are designed to withstand normal wear and tear, they may be susceptible to scratching if you vigorously rub or scratch the area. To ensure the longevity of your tattoo, it's best to avoid excessive contact and treat it with a gentle touch.

Can I apply sunscreen over a temporary tattoo?

Yes, you can certainly apply sunscreen over your temporary tattoo. In fact, it's highly recommended to protect both your skin and the tattoo design. Be sure to opt for a gentle, non-greasy sunscreen formula and apply it carefully, avoiding excessive rubbing over the tattooed area.

Will the temporary tattoo fade if I wear tight clothing?

The resilience of temporary tattoos extends to your wardrobe choices as well. Wearing tight clothing shouldn't cause any significant fading or damage to your tattoo. However, it's always a good idea to choose breathable fabrics that minimize friction to ensure your tattoo stays vibrant and intact.
