Our big temporary tattoos are large water-applied transfers for the arm, the back, the thigh or the chest. The vegan ink darkens over 24 to 36 hours and dries matte, so a large design looks inked, not printed. Each one lasts 10 to 14 days. Size is the hardest thing to judge on a screen: a large temporary tattoo shows you the real scale on your body.
Which large temporary tattoo should you choose?
Full arm sleeves: the largest designs, one transfer per arm. See the full sleeve collection.
Large geometric lotus and koi carp: for the thigh, the back or the upper arm.
Eagle, phoenix, lion, leopard: bold animal pieces for the chest, the shoulder or the forearm.
Angels and figures: Black Angel, Angel DNA, King & Queen, Lion and God.
Armbands and wrap-around designs: headband and barbed motifs that go all around the arm.
Trim any hair, wash the area with soap and dry it well. No lotion.
Cut close to the design, remove the clear film and place the sheet flat, from the center outward.
Press a damp towel over the whole sheet for 30 seconds, section by section, without sliding it.
Peel slowly from one edge and let it dry for 15 minutes without rubbing.
The design looks light at first and darkens over 24 to 36 hours. Step-by-step video: how to apply.
Big temporary tattoos: FAQ
Do large temporary tattoos look real?
Yes, once developed. The ink darkens over 24 to 36 hours and dries matte across the whole design, so there is no shiny sticker film. From a normal distance, a large piece reads like real black and grey ink.
How long do big temporary tattoos last?
About 10 to 14 days. Flat, low-friction areas like the upper arm, the back and the thigh keep them longest. Moisturize daily and avoid scrubbing to keep the edges clean.
Where can I put a big temporary tattoo?
The upper arm, the forearm, the back, the thigh, the calf and the chest. Pick a fairly flat area: a large sheet sits better there than over a joint.
Can I apply a large design by myself?
Yes for the forearm, the thigh or the chest. For the back or a full sleeve, ask someone to hold the sheet flat while you press the damp towel.
Are big temporary tattoos waterproof?
Yes, once developed. They hold up to showers, sweat and swimming. Pat the area dry and skip long hot baths, which speed up fading.
How do I remove a large temporary tattoo?
Rub it with vegetable oil, coconut oil or an oil-based makeup remover, then wash with soap and water. A large design may need two passes.
