Question

Should I use sunscreen or a sticker?

Amber !

Community Answer

A sticker would be easier -- you'd have to reapply the sunscreen every so often.

Question

Will it wash out if I go in the pool with the nail polish?

Community Answer

Yes, it might come off, especially if it is wet. If it is dry, it could easily be rubbed off in the water. It would be best to finish tanning before hopping into the pool.

Question

If the sunscreen gets wet, will it rub off with the tan tattoo?

Community Answer

The tan tattoo is a coloration of your skin. If the sunscreen comes off than the tattoo may not be as distinct or clean as you want but once the tattoo is there it should last for a couple of weeks or whenever the tan fades away. This is not something that you can wipe away.

Question

Can I put sunscreen over the sunscreen that I applied in the form of a shape?

Annabunny

Community Answer

Yes you should reapply the sunscreen that you applied about every 2 hours. The sunscreen might stop working after awhile while you are tanning if you don't apply it, making the tan less prominent.

Question

Can I still put on sunscreen?

Annabunny

Community Answer

If you put sunscreen all over you body and you are using the sunscreen method for the tattoo, you won't get it. You have to put sunscreen in that one area so that the rest of you body tans and so the area that doesn't tan (that area has the sunscreen) shows up. You can put on sunscreen after you make your tan tattoo.
