I had read reviews that the “tattoo” doesn’t stick. I cleaned the lid with a magic eraser and immediately applied without problem. I was concerned it would lift up because my lid isn’t flat and an odd shape and figured where the edges are “molded” If have a problem. But I took a dry cloth and rubbed it down after applying and after a few days, no indication of any problem. Am wondering if those with problems may have tried to apply without wetting it a tad first or without pressing down on it after application. Or perhaps their lid is some other material. As for me, happy camper!
