FAQs

The natural active ingredient from the jagua fruit penetrates the uppermost layer of skin and reacts with it there. Over the next 1–2 days, a dark, realistic tattoo-like appearance develops, which remains visible for about two weeks.

An ink-up tattoo typically lasts 8–13 days – depending on skin type, aftercare, and body location. After that, it fades evenly as the skin regenerates.

Because the natural active ingredient from the jagua fruit penetrates the uppermost layer of skin and reacts there. This creates a genuine tattoo look – without shine, without foil, completely natural.

No. Ink Up Tattoos are based on the active ingredient of the jagua fruit, not henna. The principle is similar, but the color is darker and looks more natural – almost like a real tattoo.

Yes. Ink Up Tattoos are waterproof and can easily withstand showers, sweat and even baths – as long as you avoid friction and vigorous rubbing in the first few hours after application.

The color develops from light blue to dark blue or almost black within the first 24–48 hours. The exact shade depends on your skin type and the application time.

Ink Up Tattoos are dermatologically tested and received a "very good" rating from Dermatest in Germany. They consist of natural ingredients and are skin-friendly and safe to use.

Yes, ink-up tattoos have an expiration date. However, if stored correctly – in a cool, dry place and protected from light – they remain usable for several years without losing quality.

Our tattoos contain skin-friendly, dermatologically tested ingredients:

Acrylates Copolymer, Cellulose Acetate Butyrate, Dipropylene Glycol Dibenzonate, Genipa americana fruit extract, Glycine Soja Oil, Paraffinum Liquidum, Polyvinyl Butyral, Rosin Acrylate, Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate, CI 42090.

Our ink-up tattoos are skin-friendly, but in rare cases can trigger allergic reactions. Not suitable for babies or toddlers.

Avoid contact with eyes – rinse thoroughly immediately if contact occurs. Do not use on eyelashes or eyebrows. Wear gloves during application.

If you are unsure or have skin problems, consult a doctor beforehand. Keep out of reach of children, do not inhale or swallow.

If itching, burning or redness occurs, rinse immediately, stop use and seek medical advice.

We recommend avoiding use during pregnancy or seeking medical advice beforehand, as the skin may be more sensitive during this time.

Yes, good preparation ensures the best result:

✅ Skin care: Gently exfoliate and moisturize 24 hours beforehand to ensure smooth and receptive skin.

✅ Shaving: The area should be hair-free – ideally shave the day before.

✅ Clean skin: No oil or cream directly before application.

✅ Correct location: Choose areas with little movement or friction.

🚫 Avoid: scars, birthmarks, sensitive or heavily haired areas.

🚫 After application: Do not scratch, rub or expose to water.

Yes. Ideally, shave the desired area 24 hours before application so that the skin is smooth but not irritated. This will help the tattoo adhere better and develop more evenly.

The best spots are areas with little friction and water contact – so upper arm, forearm, shoulder, back or calf.

Hands, fingers, ankles and areas with a lot of movement are less suitable, as the tattoo will fade faster there.

Yes. Ink-up tattoos work on all skin tones. The color develops individually – usually darker on lighter skin, somewhat more subtle on darker skin, but always visible and natural.

That's perfectly normal! After application, the tattoo initially appears blue because the active ingredient from the jagua fruit only develops in the skin. Within 24–48 hours, it darkens and takes on its typical black tattoo appearance.

It's best not to. For the first 24 hours, the tattoo should not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity. After that, a sauna is possible, but it can slightly accelerate fading.

You should avoid direct sunlight or tanning beds for the first 24 hours. After that, sunbathing is possible – but remember sunscreen, as UV radiation will cause the tattoo to fade faster.

The tattoo was probably exposed to water too soon. It shouldn't be washed for the first 8 hours, as the active ingredient needs time to be absorbed into the skin. After that, the color will develop from light to dark blue within 24–36 hours.

No. Each Ink Up Tattoo is intended for single use only, as the active ingredient is completely transferred after the first use.

The simplest method is gentle exfoliation. Use a body scrub or a washcloth to gently massage the skin. This will help the tattoo fade faster – but don't rub too hard to avoid irritating the skin.

Stop using the product immediately and wash the affected area thoroughly with water. If redness, itching, or burning persists, consult a doctor and do not use the product again.
