Putting a Photo on a Ceramic Mug?

Is there a way to affix a glossy photo to a ceramic coffee mug? I tried Mod Podge, but even after 12 hours, 1/2 the photo peeled off. Thanks for any suggestions!

Were you trying to have the photo rub off onto the mug, or leave the actual photo on the mug? If you wanted the actual photo to stay on the mug, you could try cleaning the mug with vinegar first. Usually when you decoupage something onto any surface, you have to apply the ModPage on the back of the photo, and then put a coat of ModPage over the photo and onto the surrounding area. Let dry thoroughly and apply another coat.

I assume the mug wouldn't be able to be used for any hot beverages, because I don't know what the heat would do to the ModPage. This might work better if you used a photo copy of the picture, on regular paper instead of photo paper. The regular paper is lighter weight than photo paper.

Usually any photo pharmacy including walmart etc, have items that you can order with your photo on them... and the photo never comes off.
