The Reality Check.

These are realistic custom fake tattoos.
But they are not magic. They are science.
Physics applies. Friction is the enemy.
Put a stain on your finger? It fades in days.
Put a transfer on your forearm? It lasts 1-2 weeks.
These are tattoos that look like they were done with a needle. But they weren’t.

How It Works (The Science)

People get confused. Is it a sticker? Is it henna?
No. It is a plant-based bio-reaction.

The Ingredient
Our semi-permanent tattoos are derived from Genipin.
Tattoos are derived from fruit. It is an organic, vegan extract.
It soaks into the epidermis (the top layer of skin).
It oxidizes with your natural proteins.
It creates a dark navy-blue stain.
It is non-toxic. It is safe.

The “Panic Phase”
You apply the tattoo paper. You peel it off.
It looks invisible. It looks like a faint, shiny glaze.
You might think it didn’t work.
Don’t panic.

The Development
You have to wait.
It develops over 12-16 hours (it reaches peak color in 24 hours).
It turns blue. Then dark navy. Then a matte black-blue.
The finish is matte. There is no shine.
It looks and feels like a real tattoo.

Custom Without The Hassle

Most shops only sell stock designs.
We specialise in custom. We have a dedicated custom team.
We allow you to upload your art.

Bulk Orders
We handle bulk custom temporary tattoos using this semi-perm tech too.
Note: Semi-permanent custom printing is a premium process.
It is different from our standard color printing.
It is strictly dark blue/black.
If you need full color logos, you should check our standard [Temporary Tattoos].

Better Than “The Bottle”

Some brands sell a bottle of freehand ink. We don’t.
A bottle is messy. It stains your hands. It has a short shelf life.
Freehand drawing is hard. If you mess up, you are stuck with a bad drawing for two weeks.

We use precision tattoo prints.
Our custom temporary tattoos are printed on high-tech sheets.
You get tattoos exactly as you designed them.
Crisp lines. Perfect shading. No mess.
It is a custom tattoo transfer that looks real.

Application: Don’t Ruin It

Buying custom designs is the easy part. Application is the skill.
This ink sinks in. You need a clear path to the skin.

The Hair Problem
Arm hair is a killer.
It creates an air gap. The ink sits on the hair, not the skin.
The result? A patchy, weak stain.
Want the look and feel of a real tattoo? Shave the spot.

Preparation
Exfoliate first.
Scrub the area. Remove dead skin cells.
Do NOT use lotion.
Oils block the pores. The ink won’t take.
Keep it dry.

The Shine Myth
With standard stickers, you need to worry about shine.
With semi-permanent, you don’t.
The ink absorbs. The carrier film peels off.
You don’t need shine remover.
The final result is naturally matte.

FAQ: Custom Questions

Q: Can I print a photo?
Not with semi-permanent.
This tech works like a stamp/stain. It creates shadows and lines.
Photos turn into blobs.
For photos, use our standard tattoo orders on the Standard Ink page.

Q: Why is it blue, not black?
Real tattoos heal to a blue-black color.
Genipin naturally dyes the skin dark blue.
It creates the most realistic temporary tattoos possible because it mimics the color of aged ink under the epidermis.

Q: Can I scrub it off?
Not easily.
This is commitment-light.
You can’t just wipe it off with water.
You have to exfoliate. Hot water. Salt scrub.
It fades over time.
