on 12/15/2008 To add on to my earlier comment, you may have to do this process more than once. Only about 80% of the tattoo came off at first, but it came off fully with the second attempt. Thank you!

on 7/2/2006 Just moisten a cotton ball with baby oil and rub over the temporary tattoo until it is broken up. Then take a baby wipe or a damp, washcloth and clean up the area. This works like a charm.

on 11/22/2005 Someone did this to me when I was younger. Cover the tattoo with duct tape, then peel it off fast like a band aid. Put a cool wash cloth on it if it stings a little.
