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

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)
Step 5: Slide off the backing paper
Allow a minute or two to dry and you’re ready to race
How to remove race number tattoos
