Our ink lasts 1-2 weeks. It develops in the top layer of your skin and fades as your skin naturally regenerates. How long it lasts can be dependent on placement, daily activity, as well as your skin’s unique chemistry. Moisturizing daily is key to extending the life of your Inkbox.

Yes! Inkbox uses safe ingredients in our inks. Our ink does not contain PPD.

As Inkbox formulations contain 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’re experiencing any form of physical discomfort or irritability, we’d very much like to hear from you, as we take reactions seriously. Please email us at hi@getinkbox.com and we will assist you right away.

Feel free to check out our full list of ingredients if you have any known allergies.

We strongly recommend against applying Inkbox tattoos to sensitive areas such as face, neck, upper chest and genitals.

Inkbox tattoos look authentic and last longer than typical temporary tattoos because of our patented ink formula that sinks into the top layer of your skin (the epidermis), where it reacts with the organic compounds to alter your skin’s colour to resemble that of a real tattoo.

Inkbox tattoos are life proof. You can shower, swim, sweat, and go about your day.

While the tattoos are waterproof, water exposure may decrease the lifespan of the tattoo. To protect against fading, after applying sunscreen, apply petroleum jelly or your favourite balm to the tattooed area before jumping into the water.

The most effective and harmless method to remove your tattoo is to lightly scrub your skin with an exfoliant. Salt water works best! It’s going to take a few sessions for your tattoo to be completely removed. Stop scrubbing if you feel any discomfort.

Always have been, always will be.
