Determine a good spot to place the tattoo based on the tattoos size and or purpose.
Clean the area thoroughly with soap and water (or alcohol), and dry off. It is VERY important the application area be clean!
Carefully peel off the the crystals from the backing, insuring all crystals stick to the clear sheet. If any of the crystals stick to the white backing, re-press foils 'firmly' and peel again. Then, press tattoo firmly against skin. Hold there for at least 10 seconds to allow the adhesive to "warm up."
Carefully peel off sheet making sure that each crystal stays on the skin.
After removing the clear sheet, firmly press on the crystals once again to insure they are firmly applied to the skin.
You can choose to follow the design purchased, or create your own! The Swarovski line of Crystal Tattoos are actually individual stones that can be applied in the pattern supplied or individually with tweezers (for instance, the Swarovski Fountain has 45 stones that can be applied in any pattern).
The adhesive on the Swarovski Crystal used has been specifically developed (and is dermatologist approved) for the temporary application on human skin. Swarovski Crystal Tattoos can last a few days and are waterproof, however, that is dependant on the application (i.e. proper preparation of the surface), the location applied and the after care. Please note, these are not meant or designed to stay on for days on end... they are great sparkle for that special occasion or event.
Crystals can also be reused, and if additional adhesive is needed we recommend purchasing eyelash adhesive (yep - the same kind used to put on false eyelashes), spirit gum or bindi glue.
If you use any body lotions or creams, do not apply them to the tattoo, as it may come off inadvertently.
To remove the crystals, gently peel off.
