How it works

Real ink.Zero commitment.

EZINK tattoos use plant-based ink that develops on your skin into a tattoo that looks and feels real. It lasts 1 to 2 weeks, then fades away naturally.

The ink

Why it looks so real

No needles, no stickers. Just real ink that sits in the top layer of your skin.

1

Plant-based ink

Our ink comes from the genipa plant. It soaks into the very top layer of your skin, so it looks like it was tattooed, not stuck on.

2

Screen printed detail

Every design is printed through fine screens onto our custom paper backing, so the linework comes out sharp and consistent every time.

3

Develops on your skin

It goes on light, then darkens over the next 48 to 72 hours into an ultra-realistic tattoo that lasts 1 to 2 weeks and fades away naturally.

Application

How to apply

Six simple steps. Follow them closely so your tattoo develops properly and lasts as long as possible.

Prep and primeStep 1

Prep and prime

On shaven, moisturised skin, wipe the area with the primer wipe for 30 seconds, then let it dry so your skin is clean and ready.

Remove the film

Carefully peel off the clear film without touching the inked parts of the design.

Place the tattoo

Place it sticky side down, EZINK side up. Position it on your chosen spot and adjust if needed.

Wet the tattooStep 4

Wet the tattoo

Press a damp cloth over it with even pressure for 30 to 60 seconds until it is fully saturated. Lift and check the whole design is wet.

Aftercare

For the best results

Placement matters

Areas with more movement, friction or washing fade faster. Smoother, flatter spots keep your tattoo sharper for longer.

Keep it dry at first

Avoid sweating or swimming for the first 24 to 48 hours, and wait at least 4 hours after applying before you shower.

Avoid smudging

Wear loose, breathable clothing that covers the tattoo for the first two nights so excess ink doesn't transfer to your skin or bedding.

Go easy on creams

Wait 24 to 48 hours before moisturising. Skip strong exfoliants, scrubbing and saltwater, which fade your tattoo faster.
