Application Instructions - Temporary Tattoos

Click Here to order these transfers directly from us directly to save money :)
  • Don't worry if your tattoo doesn't look like you are expecting, it's printed in reverse so you are initially seeing the back, which may have some white printed so that it shows up nicely once applied :)
  • Cut around the design as close as you can sensibly, you can use a pair of scissors or knife. It's ok to leave a few mm space as the edges will be barely visible once applied.
  • Peel off the clear glossy backing and make sure you don't touch the surface of the design as it's very sticky and this is what makes it adhere to the skin once applied.
  • Clean the area and ideally apply to somewhere with no hairs. Feel free to shave the area if required. The skin must be completely DRY or the tattoo won't stick properly.
  • Soak the Tattoo with a fairly wet sponge or smooth cloth (you could use an old t-shirt for example, it won't get damaged, it's just to wet the backing paper. Hold the wet sponge/cloth on the paper and make sure the whole area is soaked with water so it's almost dripping. The paper is darker when wet so you will be able to see if any part of the paper isn't wet. Soak for around 30 seconds.
  • Then you can slide off or peel the paper backing off to reveal the tattoo. If it feels like it's sticking somewhere, apply more water to that area, if it's all wet, it should slide off freely.
  • Gently press on the tattoo itself with the wet sponge/cloth to press it on to the skin, then allow to dry. 

    NOTES -
  • The tattoo has a high adhesive effect. Depending on the design and its size as well as where the tattoo is placed, the durability is about 2-4+ days.
  • If you wish to remove your tattoo earlier, you can simply use sticky tape / scotch tape or use skin oils and rub it off.
  • If you like a more matte looking appearance, you can rub sun cream carefully over your new tattoo.

Custom Decals

The White backing custom decals come out really nicely. They are a soul provider of a decals I use in my model business. As a hobbyist these decals. They have vibrant colours and detail isn't lost from converted from Adobe Illustrator to PDF.

If could ever find a way to have the protect film just over the decals these could definitely complete against major brands

I have now had a chance to use some of my items and the quality of the film substrate is far superior to the commercial waterslide transfers I have used on model kits. It is tough and easy to handle.

Metallic Prints

Terrific quality. I was concerned about definition but the smallest detail was faithfully reproduced. Have used IJ printed decals before for my scale models and was disappointed, but as these metallics were impossible for inkjet I tried third party production and they are definitely well worth it.

Custom design

I make guitars. I wanted a custom decal for the headstock of a new bass. I designed the image and sent the jpeg to Phoxy and almost by return of post the decal arrived. It fits perfectly and was very easy to apply. A couple of coats of clear lacquer sealed it well. Perfect. Thanks so much for you help

Small Transfers great Detail smooth around curves

Designed a lot of Space Marine shoulder pad iconography for my custom chapter. Sent the sheet to phoxy they came out superbly. Really easy to apply as they slipped off the sheet really quickly. They took Microsset and Microsol well and smoothed over the curved and rounded contours of shoulder pads superbly. Genuine joy to apply. Will be using again, cheers.
