The Science
Skin Deep
inkbox uses a semi-permanent tattoo technology, so they look authentic and last long! Our ink sinks into the top layer of your skin (called the epidermis, if you wanna get technical) and reacts with organic compounds to change its color to a dark blue or black. Our patented formula is non-toxic, painless and made from safe ingredients.
Our tattoos use safe ingredients and are easy to apply. The active dye compound in our ink is naturally derived from the Genipa americana plant. Tribes in South America have used this plant for body ornamentation for thousands of years.
inkbox uses safe ingredients in our inks. Our ink does not contain PPD. Nonetheless, seeing as inkbox contains ingredients you may not have put on your skin before, there is a small risk of allergic reaction upon application, or of sensitization through repeated use. If you experience any reaction either during or after using inkbox, we recommend contacting a medical professional and reporting your reaction to us at hi@inkbox.com. Possible effects include redness, rash, irritation, or in extremely rare cases, scarring.
We strongly recommend against applying inkbox tattoos to sensitive areas such as face, neck, upper chest and genitals.
