This item was not really what I was expecting. These are more like stickers than temporary tattoos. The finish is glossy and the tattoo wrinkles when your skin moves. I only wore mine for an hour, then I peeled it off like a band aid. Of course, this may be true for all temporary tattoo paper. I haven''t tried any other brands.

My tattoo paper seemed to be missing half the instructions. I had to go to the manufacturer''s website to find the complete instructions. Printing and application were easy once I found the correct instructions.

I might use these again as decals for a different project, but I won''t be using them on my skin. Might be cute for a kid''s party, if you don''t care about the quality and durability.

I agree with the other reviewer who complained that this paper doesn''t make particularly good TATTOOS. However, I purchased it for craft use it works basically like decal paper, and for that, it is quite effective.

As the other reviewer also noted, half the instructions are missing. Apparently the instructions are on two sides of a sheet, and only one side seems to be photocopied and included in the pack. Even the full instructions are somewhat less than clear, though I finally found a Youtube video that explained things. So here''s how it works:

1) Set up your designs on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper. Print off a sheet just to make sure they all look the way you want. HINT: Darken or saturate the colors in your design, as they can print a bit pale on this paper. SECOND HINT: Irregular, branchy designs may work better than very round or square or blocky designs, if you are applying the tattoo to a curved surface; they provide more flexibility. (I used this to apply images to Easter eggs and it worked like a dream.)

2) Print your designs on the glossy side of a sheet of the tattoo paper. (Note that there are two types of sheets in the package; one is paper with a glossy front and plain back; the other is a sheet of adhesive-backed plastic with a paper backing. Be sure to print on the PAPER!) HINT: These images will come out "mirrored" i.e., backwards when you apply them. So if you have anything that needs to read correctly, be sure to "flip" your image before you print it!!

3) Let your printed sheet dry for a few minutes.

4) Start to peel the paper backing off a sheet of the adhesive-backed plastic. (Best approach: peel it away from the top of the sheet but leave most of it in place for now.) Very carefully position this sheet on top of your printed page. Press the adhesive sheet over the printed sheet it works best to apply it slowly by peeling off the backing while you''re pressing it down. Work to get out all the air bubbles. The main thing is, you want to get all your images covered with the clear adhesive plastic.

5) Now you can cut out your images. Cut as close to the image as you can (and if you have branchy bits, cut out as much extra material as you can).

6) Next, get yourself set up to apply your tattoos to yourself, to eggs, to a craft project, whatever. The surface needs to be clean and dry. (If skin, it should be as hair-free as possible.) Peel the adhesive off the tattoo and position it where you wish to apply it. (Keep in mind that it will stick as soon as it touches, so be sure you have it where you want it.)

7) Use a damp sponge or damp cloth to blot the back of the tattoo (the dull side of the paper). This will cause the tattoo decal to slide off its backing. When the paper is thoroughly wet and you can see the tattoo image through it, you should be able to start peeling the paper backing away from the decal. If the decal isn''t sticking yet, blot it a bit more.

8) Once you''ve peeled off the paper backing, use your sponge or cloth to carefully blot the tattoo itself. This is to remove the remaining sticky gel and to ensure that all parts of it are sticking to the surface. Wipe from the center of the tattoo outwards at this point, so that you don''t accidentally lift up an edge or peel off the tattoo. Let it dry and you''re done!

(And BTW, if this is still confusing, just search on YouTube for the videos on "temporary tattoo paper" they really help.
