Safety & Compliance

Safety & Compliance: We Don't Guess With Your Skin

You are putting this on your body. Or your child’s body.
You need to know what’s in it.
You don’t want a rash. You don’t want toxic sludge. You want safe, tested art.

We are Quick Tattz. We are Australia’s local experts.
We don’t drop-ship cheap copies from random factories. We check everything.
If it isn’t safe enough for my skin, it isn’t safe for yours.

The Reality Check.

The internet is flooded with 50-cent tattoo sheets.
They smell like gasoline. They leave red marks.
Why? Because they use industrial glue and heavy metals to cut costs.
I hate that.
We do it differently. We use cosmetic grade materials.
We are backed by the strictest safety certifications in the world.

The "Non-Toxic" Promise (The Heavy Hitters)

We don’t just say “safe.” We prove it.
Our manufacturer is audited. The paperwork is real.

CE & EN71 (European Safety)
This is the gold standard for toys and children’s products in Europe.
Our tattoos pass EN71.
It means they are free from toxic migration of elements. No arsenic. No antimony. No barium.
Safe for kids. Safe for you.

ASTM (USA Standards)
We meet ASTM requirements.
This is the American safety benchmark.
It tests for physical hazards and chemical limits.
We pass.

CPSIA (Phthalate Free)
This is the big one for parents.
CPSIA compliance means we are free from dangerous phthalates (plasticizers) and lead.
Cheap tattoos use phthalates to make the plastic flexible. We don’t.

The Chemistry: What is RoHS and REACH?

These acronyms matter. They are the difference between “Ink” and “Poison.”

RoHS Compliant
“Restriction of Hazardous Substances.”
Usually used for electronics, but crucial for ink.
It guarantees our manufacturing is free from lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium.
Zero heavy metals.

REACH & SVHC (The “Safe List”)
This is the EU regulation on chemicals.
SVHC stands for “Substances of Very High Concern.”
Our inks are screened against this list.
We don’t use hidden carcinogens. We don’t use reproductive toxins.
Our chemistry is clean.

Plant-Based & Vegan (The Ethics)

You want ink, not animal products.
Our technical documentation confirms it.

No Animal Testing
We don’t test on animals. Neither does our manufacturer.
We test on humans (mostly us).

The Ingredients
Standard Ink: Uses soy-based vegetable inks and medical-grade adhesive.
Semi-Permanent: Uses Genipin.
This is a natural fruit extract from the Gardenia plant.
It isn’t a chemical dye. It’s a fruit stain.
It is naturally vegan.

Manufacturing Standards

It’s not just about the ink. It’s about the factory.

ISO 9001 (Quality Control)
Our manufacturer is ISO 9001 certified.
This isn’t a safety test; it’s a consistency test.
It means they follow a strict recipe.
The tattoo you buy today is exactly the same safe formula as the one you buy next year.
No “bad batches.”

GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice)
We follow FDA-related guidelines for cosmetic cleanliness.
CPNP/SCNP registered.
These aren’t just stickers. They are registered cosmetic products regulated for skin contact.

Safe for Sensitive Skin?

This is the most common question I get.
“I have sensitive skin. Can I use it?”

The Truth:
Our products are hypoallergenic.
They are free from the common nasties (Lead, Mercury, Phthalates).
However, every person is different.
Some people are allergic to strawberries. Some are allergic to Band-Aid adhesive.

The Patch Test Rule
If you have a history of skin allergies:

  1. Cut a tiny corner of the tattoo (blank or ink).
  2. Apply it to your inner wrist.
  3. Wait 24 hours.
  4. No itch? You are good to go.
  5. Redness? Remove it with baby oil and email us. We will refund you.

Why This Matters

You might think “It’s just a fake tattoo.”
But your skin is your largest organ. It absorbs things.
We take that seriously.

We ship from Brisbane.
We are real people.
We wear these tattoos ourselves.
We put them on our kids.
That is the ultimate seal of approval.
