Semi-Permanent: looks like a real tattoo
Semi-Permanent designs use a jagua-based ink. Jagua comes from a fruit, and it stains the top layer of your skin a blue-black shade.
The design looks light when you peel the paper off. Over the next 48–72 hours it gets darker, until it looks like a fine-line tattoo. It lasts up to 2 weeks, then fades as your skin renews.
Choose it to test a design before a real tattoo, or to wear something that looks real for a trip, an event or just a week.
Temporary Color: bright and ready now
Temporary Color designs use a watercolor-based ink. There is no waiting: the full color shows the moment you peel the paper.
They last about 1 week. Choose them for a party, a festival, a photo, or when you want color that black ink can't give.
What they have in common
Both are designed in-house in Thailand, use vegan ink and are cruelty free. Both go on the same way: clean, dry skin, place the design face down, press with a damp sponge or cloth for 15–30 seconds, and peel.
Both are waterproof once applied. Wear time changes with your skin and where you place the tattoo: spots that rub less, like the inner arm, often last longer than hands or feet.
Which one should you pick?
Need it to look like a real tattoo, or to last longer? Pick Semi-Permanent, and apply it 2–3 days before the day you want to show it.
Need it today, or want color? Pick Temporary Color.
Questions
Can I wear both at the same time?
Yes. Put each design on its own clean, dry spot, so you can mix black and color designs.
Why is my Semi-Permanent tattoo light after I apply it?
That's normal. The jagua ink needs 48–72 hours to reach its full shade.
Which one is better for an event?
Temporary Color if the event is today. Semi-Permanent if you apply it 2–3 days before, so it has time to darken.
Are both waterproof?
Yes. Both are waterproof once applied. Rubbing and scrubbing make them fade sooner.
