My children were given temporary Christmas tattoos at a festival. I can't get the tattoos washed off their faces! I've tried soap and water, makeup remover, hydrogen peroxide, and canola oil.
Try rubbing alcohol. (12/15/2006)

Try rubbing baby oil on it. That may work. If not, Huggies baby wipes have worked for me in the past... my 5 year old likes tattoos, and they take it off, you just have to work at it a little bit! (12/15/2006)

Rubbing alcohol sometimes works. I've never tried it but I think nail polish remover might help. (12/15/2006)

I was looking here for help. I have tried everything. The tattoo disappeared with just a little dab of fingernail polish remover! (09/23/2007)

Nail polish remover works great. (03/18/2008)

Get a pumice block like that used to smooth elbows and heels. (Dr. Scholls or similar.) Scrub very gently (children's skin is more fragile than adult's;) using the block and some cold cream or Noxzema. Keep the pumice particles out of little eyes. The same caution goes for nail polish remover if it is tried. (10/23/2008)

Olive oil on a paper towel rubbed on the tattoo works great and doesn't irritate the child's skin. (01/25/2009)

We tried olive oil, baby oil, and baby wipes; nothing worked.
The best suggestion... scotch tape! Worked in one second. Amazing! (02/27/2009)

My Granddaughter needed her temporary tattoo removed for a dance recital and I tried most of the suggestions with no success. In desperation I used Goo Be Gone. The tattoo came off instantly. (06/17/2009)
