I got tired of my semi-permanent tattoos...

Temporary tattoos and semi-permanent tattoo stickers are created to cater people that want tattoos but can't ink a real tattoo for their personal interests and/or reasons. It also provides a realistic preview for people that wants to ink a design for real. 

At INKSTIC, our primary product is semi-permanent tattoo stickers made out of 100% organic herbal fruit-juice based ink. This ink allows the design to stay longer on our skin as it reacts organically to our keratinocytes and forms the pattern on the skin where the tattoo was applied. 

The tattoo will gradually fade out and it won't have any residue or side effects on your epidermis once the old keratinocytes that is inked falls off naturally. The whole process usually takes about two to three weeks.

But...

What if I got tired of the pattern and wants to clear it out for a new design?

Unfortunately, semi-permanent tattoos, ours or others, cannot be completely removed prematurely:(

As the ink organically reacts to your skin, it is now a part of you. If you want it gone completely before it fades away naturally then you'd have to rip your epidermis off and implant a new one (technically it works, but don't do it of course!), or if we live in the future and we project the tattoos using holograms (then why stick it on in the first place if we had holograms?).

But again...

You can speed up the process!

When old keratinocytes die they may remain on our body for a set amount of time, and those dead cells often sucks up our sweat hence making some of us smell bad. 

And we hit the bath!

First tip: rub it in the shower! It will take care the residue and it will make the tattoo fade just a teeny tiny slightly! 

WHAT?!

INKSTIC's tattoos are scratch resistant?

Yes! That is why it lasts longer! So don't worry if you are going to destroy your pattern in the shower, keeping your self clean is the No.1 priority! 

Okay now... lets be more serious.

To really speed up the process, you can apply exfoliating products to your tattooed area and it will help the keratinocytes detach themselves faster. However, you can't expect the pattern to disappear in the first go. It needs to be repeated, and it is a bit lengthy.

To reiterate, there are no fast ways to completely remove a semi-permanent tattoo. 

So, be patient, just let it rest on your skin so more people can see your awesome taste and let yourself express your personality and enjoy the design for just a bit longer!
