How to Remove Child Stick-On Tattoos

Temporary tattoos are popular because of the fabulous designs offered. There are stick on tattoos for the neck, leg, back, and every other part of the body. Parents are more willing to allow a child to use a stick-on tattoo than to approve of a real tattoo. The problem arises when the stick-on tattoo needs to be removed for some reason.

Things You'll Need

  • Cooking oil
  • Baby oil
  • Alcohol
  • Soap and water
  • Cellophane tape
  • Cotton balls
  • Moisturizer

Instructions

    • 1

      Apply alcohol to a cotton ball and gently rub the tattooed area. Most of the tattoo should come off with this solution.

    • 2

      Soak a cotton ball with baby oil and rub it on the tattoo. This step can take some time, depending on what was used to make the tattoo. Once the tattoo is removed, wash the skin with soap and water to remove any residue.

    • 3

      Rub the tattooed skin with cooking oil. Use a paper towel or napkin to wipe off the oil. Repeat this step until the tattoo is completely removed. Wash the skin with soap and water.

    • 4

      Apply soap and water to the tattooed area. Certain tattoo materials need to be scrubbed off the skin. This can be painful to the person wearing the tattoo. Use a soft rag and rub gently. Apply moisturizer to the area once the tattoo is removed.

    • 5

      Apply tape to the skin to remove the tattoo. The tape is sticky and will bond with the tattoo so it will lift the tattoo when the tape is pulled off the skin. Clean up any residue with a cotton ball soaked with baby oil or alcohol.
