What is a textile tattoo? A textile tattoo is a heat-transfer design that integrates into the fabric through the pressure and heat of an iron. How to apply your tattoo? It is recommended not to use the steam function of the iron, so do not put water in it. The area where you want to place the textile tattoo should be dry, smooth, and dust-free. 1. Place the tattoo with the design side down (ink side). 2. Place a piece of fabric over it (between the iron and the tattoo). 3. Iron over the tattoo for 10 seconds, pressing firmly, then let it rest for 10 seconds. Repeat this process twice (3 x 10 seconds). 4. Let the tattoo cool for 2 minutes. 5. Carefully remove the paper when cold. Be careful not to iron directly over the tattoo once it is applied, otherwise the ink will stick to the iron. Always place a fabric over it. Where to apply your tattoo? Apply your tattoo wherever you want, on any type of clothing: a t-shirt, boxers, jeans, a sweatshirt, a sock, etc. The surface just needs to be flat, without texture or wrinkles.
