HOW TO PROPERLY APPLY YOUR WALL TATTOO™

Paint type: Wall Tattoos adhere best to Matte, Eggshell, Satin or Semi Gloss Paint. We do not recommend installing on a surface with highly textured concrete or stucco or a drywall/primer finish.

Materials Required: Cleaning Cloth, Scissors, Masking Tape, Old Credit Card or Plastic Squeegee

Be Clean.

• Make sure the surface is clean of any dust and debris. Use soap and water and wait till the surface is dry before proceeding.
• Note that if your walls are freshly painted we recommend waiting 2 to 5 days for your walls to fully cure before applying

Be Prepared

• Wall Tattoos™ are for one-time use, so take some time to choose the perfect spot...
• Loosely cut around the shapes as indicated and use the number connnectors (if applicable) to piece back together...
• Tape the design to the surface with masking tape to make sure it’s exactly where you want it. Use a level if necessary.

Be Patient.

• Fold back a corner of the design and begin peeling the white backing from the graphic and transfer tape at a 45˚angle.
• If some of the tattoo doesn’t come off the backing, press it down again and give it a quick scratch on the transfer tape side.

Be Careful.

• Once the white backing is removed, everything gets a little sticky so be careful the design does not fold over into itself
• Press and fold a corner of the white backing over and then rub the exposed section of the design onto the wall.

Be Strong.

• Continue to rub the remainder of the design onto the wall while peeling off the white backing.
• If the design is larger, ask a friend to help you. If the design is small you can peel off the entire backing and do the whole piece.

Be Smooth.

• Now, start at a corner again, and slowly peel or roll the clear tranfer tape away from the tattoo at a 45˚ angle.
• Continue until the transfer tape is completely removed from the wall and graphic.

Be Proud.

• Stand back and gaze in awe at your new Surface Collective Wall Tattoo™
• Have a dinner party to impress your friends with your self-applied work of design!
