Fade Away Tattoos - Do they work?

 

Have you ever thought about getting a tattoo, but you weren't sure where to put it or how you might look with a tattoo? Temporary tattoos can be a great way to test out if you'll like having tattoos & where to place them without the cost and life time commitment of a real tattoo. I was recently given a chance to work with a company called Fade Away Tattoo, they offer a selection of semi-permanent tattoos that last 1-2 weeks after putting them on. I have several real tattoos on my back & legs, but I've always wondered if I'd like one on my forearm or not and this gives me the opportunity to find out.

I've seen similar brands before & have been interesting in seeing how they turn out and if they work as advertised. When first applied the tattoo is barley visible, then over the next 24 to 36 hours the formula they use will get darker until it reaches the color it is meant to be, from the time you apply it the tattoo will last up to two weeks. One of the tips they give while you are waiting for it to develop the first twenty four hours is to wear loose clothing while sleeping to help prevent the tattoo from transferring onto another section of your skin. The amount of time it last completely depends on where you place the temporary tattoo. I tested out a small fox on my ankle which almost made it to the darkest shade & lasted a little over two weeks before I washed off the last remaining portion of the tattoo. I also tried out a series of planets & stars in a line on my wrist, only half of the tattoo became as dark as it was meant to & it washed off within a few days. The one I tried on my wrist, I believe lasted less time as I wash my hands/wrists at work quite often. 

Over the weekend my kids & I tried out a tattoo on our forearms (7/17 is when we applied them). This time around the tattoos became nice & dark, seeing the amount of details they are able to put into some of the tattoos is cool to see. The ghost tattoos I applied on my kids have faded faster than mine as they spend a lot of time in the pool, they are still slightly visible & should last another day or two. The tattoo I had applied is still very dark & hasn't faded at all. I absolutely love how the Anubis tattoo I applied on my forearm looks, and it has helped me decide that in the future I will get a real tattoo in the same spot after I figure out what I want. I have a few other tattoos I was sent that I haven't used yet, but I am looking forward to using them as well. It is fun being able to apply these & having the look of having more tattoos. My kids nor myself have had any kind of negative reaction to these temporary tattoos & if you want to get rid of them sooner than having them fade away on their own they can be scrubbed off with some body wash & a hand towel or bathing sponge. 

I do want to point out that in the instructions it tells you to remove any hair from the area you'll be applying the tattoo. I shave my arms anyway so that wasn't a big deal for me, when it came to my kids I didn't want to shave their arms especially given that they have fine baby hairs anyway so we just applied the temporary tattoos over them. The tattoos still applied & worked just fine, the image below is about 24 hours after we had applied the tattoos & they did get darker as time went on. Unless the area you are applying your temporary tattoo on is overly hairy, you should have able to get away with applying the tattoo to thinly hair areas without issue. Update 7/28 - It has now been eleven days since I originally applied the Anubis tattoo. A large majority of the tattoo is still intact however the outer edges of the tattoo such as his ears and the geometric shapes/lines in the back are significantly lighter as you can tell it is starting to fade. When it gets to the point where enough is missing & you'd like to remove it, some light scrubbing with a wash cloth + soap will remove the rest of it.

Fade Away Tattoo has a growing collection of tattoos to choose from, I got lucky & found several designs I liked and look forward to them adding more. Prices range from $2.34 for a small tattoo up to $16 for large tattoos. If you can't decide what you'd like or want a surprise they have mystery packs available to purchase. The shipping was quick & it came with easy to follow instructions on how to apply your tattoo (works just like the fake tattoos you might have used when you were a kid). If you aren't from the US, no need to worry as the company ships worldwide with a page that goes over how long it takes to ship to each country.
