FAQs

The natural active ingredient from the Jagua fruit penetrates the top layer of the skin and reacts with it. Over the next 1–2 days, it develops into a dark, real tattoo look that remains visible for about two weeks.

An Ink Up tattoo usually lasts 8–13 days – depending on skin type, care, and body area. After that, it fades evenly as the skin renews itself.

Because the natural active ingredient from the Jagua fruit penetrates the top layer of the skin and reacts there. This creates a real tattoo look – without shine, without film, completely natural.

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

Yes. Ink Up Tattoos are waterproof and can easily withstand showering, sweat, and even bathing – 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 exposure time.

Ink Up Tattoos are dermatologically tested and have been rated "very good" by Dermatest in Germany. They are made from natural ingredients and are skin-friendly as well as safe to use.

Yes, Ink Up Tattoos have an expiration date. However, when stored properly – cool, dry, 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 may rarely cause 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 unsure or if you 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 consulting a doctor beforehand, as the skin can be more sensitive during this time.

Yes, good preparation ensures the best result:

✅ Skincare: Gently exfoliate and moisturize 24 hours before to keep the skin smooth and receptive.

✅ Shaving: The area should be hair-free – best to shave one day before.

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

✅ Right spot: Choose areas with little movement or friction.

🚫 Avoid: Scars, moles, sensitive or heavily hairy areas.

🚫 After application: Do not scratch, rub, or come into contact with water.

Yes. Shave the desired area preferably 24 hours before application so that the skin is smooth but not irritated. This way, the tattoo adheres better and develops more evenly.

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

Less suitable are hands, fingers, knuckles, and areas with a lot of movement, as tattoos 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 completely normal! After application, the tattoo initially appears blue because the active ingredient from the jagua fruit develops in the skin. Within 24–48 hours, it darkens and takes on its typical black tattoo appearance.

Better not. In the first 24 hours, the tattoo should not be exposed to high temperatures or moisture. After that, sauna is possible but may slightly accelerate fading.

You should avoid direct sun or tanning beds for the first 24 hours. After that, sun exposure is possible – but remember to use sunscreen, as UV radiation causes the tattoo to fade faster.

The tattoo was probably exposed to water too early. It must not be washed during the first 8 hours, as the active ingredient needs time to absorb into the skin. After that, the color develops from light to dark blue within 24–36 hours.

No. Each Ink Up Tattoo is intended for one-time use only, as the active ingredient is fully transferred after the first use.

The easiest method is a gentle exfoliation. Use a body scrub or a washcloth to lightly massage the skin. This helps 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, please consult a doctor and do not use the product again.
