***BIRTHDAY BASH-Safety Tat Review and GIVEAWAY-2 winners+discount***

 As a parent it is our greatest fear that one day our child will get lost. Separated from us and have no way to find us or contact us. We could always write our contact info in sharpy marker on their forehead but that would be a little strange. When we were at the water park on vacation this last week we had the opportunity to bring some safety tats along with us to review. I was sent the Quick Stick Write-On SafetyTats (these come with a special pen to write on them so you can write your phone number, address, or child's name on them....or really anything you want) and the Original Dino SafetyTat Child ID Tattoos with out phone number already printed on them. With so many kids there running around and all kinds of different places for Monkey to get lost it was so nice to know that if he got lost our phone number would be on him and someone could contact us so that we could find him.

 Thankfully we didn't ever have to put it to the test and see if they actually worked, but it was wonderful to know that if he did get lost that the info was on him. The tattoos stayed on very well for us and were very helpful. We did figure out that if you put a life vest over them they do rub off a little bit.....but it could have been that the tattoo just wasn't all of the way dry when we put it on him.

I know for sure that any time that we are in large groups of people or at big events we are going to have a safety tat on our kiddo so that if he gets lost someone can contact us and we can find him.

How Safety Tat Was Started

The idea for SafetyTat temporary child ID tattoos was born of necessity one weekend at an amusement park. On Labor Day Weekend, Baltimore Mom, Michele Welsh and her husband, there with their three small children, feeling out-numbered. To stave her panic, she quickly wrote her mobile phone number on each of their arms with a ballpoint pen. As she did this, she thoughtfully explained to each of them the importance of staying close to Mommy and Daddy. She also told them that if they were separated that the number on their arm was a way to reconnect with them.

Throughout the day of fun, Michele had to rewrite the number several times as it smeared or washed off. Several parents in the park stopped her to ask if that was her number on the kids’ arms. Each time, they loved the idea.

The day was a success and the idea for SafetyTat temporary child id tattoos was born.

How To Apply Safety Tat Temporary Write-On Tattoos

 

These require no water to apply. Quick Stick Write-on! Child ID Tattoo is a peel-n-stick skin applique.

Get in depth instructions on how to apply these tattoos HERE......but these are EASY to apply.
Simply:
1). Peel
2). Stick
3). Write your info

The write-on tattoos are made with Tateck, which is an ultra-durable skin safe applique “tattoo” sticker. They are waterproof (which works great for water parks) and will last a very long time, up to two weeks! The Quick Stick Write-On  tattoo is unlike normal temporary tattoos. They don't require water to apply to the skin so it is very easy to put on. All you have to do is peel and stick and you are good to go. They are perfect for traveling with children at water parks, theme parks, school field trips, sporting events, and extracurricular events. When these are shipped to you they don't have ANY information on them. You just write whatever information you are wanting on the tattoo with the special pen that they send you and off you can go.

How to Remove SafetyTat Quick Stick Write-OnTemporary Tattoos  

Loosen edges of SafetyTat with fingernail (You may consider using a moisturizer to soften the adhesive along the peel edge.) Hold the skin next to the SafetyTat ID tattoo with one finger. Remove SafetyTat "low and slow", keeping it close to skin surface and pulled back over itself. As the SafetyTat ID tattoo is removed, continue supporting the skin next to the SafetyTat with one finger.

How To Apply Original Style Safety Tat Temporary Tattoos

1). Be sure your child's skin is clean and dry before you apply the temporary tattoo. (No sunscreen or lotion)

2). Choose a place to apply on his or her arm—any body part that doesn’t have a lot of hair.

3). Carefully peel the clear transfer sheet away from the colored side of the temporary ID tattoo (your finger nail works best). The adhesive from the clear transfer sheet should now be on the tattoo.

4). With dry hands, press and hold firmly in place on your child's arm for one minute so your body heat can set the tattoo to their skin. This is probably the most important step to a good application!

5). Now, use your WARM wet sponge, washcloth or paper towel to thoroughly wet the back of the temporary tattoo. As the water soaks in, the tattoo will become visible through the paper. Use lots of water for best results. Within about 30 seconds, the paper will soon easily slip from your child's temporary tattoo. Let the tattoo dry thoroughly. This can take several minutes. Please be sure your SafetyTat is dry before covering with clothing (or sheets/blankets).

If your tattoo still seems sticky after you have wet it and slipped the paper off, simply add more water to the top. This is just residual adhesive from the protective paper you have removed.  

To dry the tattoo quicker sprinkle some baby powder on and LIGHTLY spread around.

The Original SafetyTat Child ID Tattoos are basically like your traditional temporary tattoos and are applied with water.  They will last anywhere from 1 to 5 days.....but they suggest replacing them every day so that the skin under the tattoo doesn't get irritated. The Original SafetyTat temporary tattoo is pre-printed with one line of customization.....anything that you want. You can choose from many of their different designs, select how many you are wanting, and add your phone number so someone can contact you in case your child does get lost.

How to Remove your Original Style Safety Tat Temporary Tattoos

You can remove your child's temporary tattoo with baby oil or rubbing alcohol. Be sure to wash the area with soap and water before you try again.
Your SafetyTat Kids Temporary Child ID Tattoo can last from one to several days. If you have sensitive skin and have received a rash from band-aids or adhesives you may want to leave your tattoo on for only a few hours. You can shower with your tattoo, but do not scrub—just rinse lightly to keep clean.
SafetyTat uses only medical grade adhesive on all products. The adhesive is acrylic-based and does not contain latex. Always be cautious and do a small test area with your tattoos prior to applying for long durations. Warning: Do not apply to sensitive skin or near eyes. As a precaution, do not use this temporary tattoo (or any other adhesive products) if you are pregnant or nursing.
