How to Apply

Jagua tattoos are simple to apply and need no special tools — just the pack, a wet cloth, and a few minutes.

Application steps

• Clean and dry the skin where you’ll apply the design.
• Cut out your chosen design and peel off the clear protective film.
• Place the design face-down on your skin, in the position you want.
• Press a wet cloth firmly over it for 30–60 seconds so the transfer sets.
• Peel away the paper backing gently, starting from one corner.
• Let it air-dry for about 1 hour without rubbing or touching it.

What to expect

The stain looks light brown at first — don’t worry, that’s normal. Over the next 24–48 hours it darkens into a deep blue-black. Once fully developed, it lasts up to 2 weeks, gradually fading as your skin naturally exfoliates.

Removing it early

If you want to fade it sooner, gently scrub the area with an exfoliant and a little oil over a few days. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can irritate the skin.
