Our race number tattoos are the ultimate athlete ID they are used in the biggest events around the world.
They are also super easy to apply. All you need to do is follow these steps.
Step by step instructions to apply a race number tattoo
Make sure that your skin or wetsuit is dry and clean of any sunscreen, oils or makeup.
Step 1: Separate and remove clear spaces and/or extra logos
Step 2: Peel off the transparent film
Step 3: Stick the sticky side to skin / wetsuit
Step 4: Saturate with a wet cloth or sponge (the wetter the better)

How to remove race number tattoos
Wetsuits: Use Sportstiks ‘Get Your Tats Off Wipes’, that should be included in your race pack.
