For the Best Result

Prepare your skin in advance for the best SafeTatt result.

Moisturize the area 2–3 hours before application. Right before applying, the skin must be completely clean and dry, so wash away any product that has not absorbed.

This helps the design transfer as sharply and evenly as possible.

Placement

Applying SafeTatt™ to areas with frequent water contact or heavy friction may make it fade faster.

(ideal schedule)

APPLICATION DAY

Morning (8:00–11:00 AM)

  • Take a short shower. Avoid lotions, oils, creams, or deodorant on the application area. Use our exfoliating glove before application to remove dead skin and expose a fresh surface layer.
  • Dry the skin thoroughly and wait at least 30 minutes. The area should be completely dry and oil-free.
  • During this time, avoid exercise and hot drinks so you do not sweat.
  • Make sure the application area is clean, dry, and cool.

(ideal schedule)

Noon (12:00–1:00 PM)

A great time to apply your tattoo.

  • Peel the protective film from the tattoo.
  • Place the adhesive side onto clean, dry, shaved skin.
  • Press a wet cloth or sponge firmly over the tattoo and soak the backing well.
  • Make sure the full design transfers and do not move it while pressing.
  • Carefully and slowly peel away the transfer paper, checking that the entire design has transferred.
  • After removing the paper, do not wash the area, apply products, or rub it. The less you touch it while it develops, the better.

(ideal schedule)

Afternoon (1:00–9:00 PM)

  • Try to avoid sweating: no workouts, hot baths, saunas, running, or similar activities.
  • Do not wash the tattoo.
  • Do not cover it with plastic wrap.
  • Avoid rubbing or friction against the tattoo.

(ideal schedule)

Evening (9:00 PM–12:00 AM)

  • The tattoo will begin to darken, but do not wash the application area yet.
  • Sleep in a cool room to minimize sweating overnight.

(ideal schedule)

The Next Morning (after about 24 hours)

  • You can shower, but do not scrub and avoid putting soap directly on the tattoo.
  • If the tattoo has fully developed, normal activities such as swimming and exercise are fine.
  • If the color is still developing, give it another 24–48 hours.

(ideal schedule)

Done!

You did it. Your tattoo should now develop beautifully.

Depending on placement, it can last around 7–14 days.

When it starts to fade, use the exfoliating glove again to gently remove the stained outer skin before applying your next SafeTatt.

Preparation

Remove hair from the application area and moisturize a few hours beforehand.

Immediately before applying the tattoo, wash the skin thoroughly with soap. Do not use moisturizing cleansers, as residue can make the transfer blurry.

  • Make sure the skin is oil-free.
  • Make sure the skin is dry and free from cuts or irritation.

We recommend using our exfoliating glove to thoroughly clean the skin before application.

Application

Position the tattoo carefully before pressing it down. Once it develops, it will not simply wash off.

  • Press the tattoo firmly and do not move it.
  • Wet the entire backing with a damp sponge or cloth.
  • Make sure the whole design transfers.
  • For a full sleeve, we recommend asking someone to help you apply it evenly.

Peeling Off

  • Carefully peel the backing away without sliding it across the skin.
  • Do not touch the tattoo.
  • Do not cover it with clothing for the first hour.
  • Avoid applying immediately before bed, when friction can disturb the developing color.
  • If the tattoo is on a joint such as the elbow, limit bending at first.
  • Avoid sweating, heat, exercise, and washing the area while it begins to develop.

Color Development

  • The tattoo usually reaches its full color within about 24–48 hours. The final shade varies with your skin and natural exfoliation.
  • During development, minimize friction, washing, and rubbing. Watch out for bracelets and other items touching the area.
  • While sleeping, loose breathable clothing can help prevent the developing color from transferring to another area of skin.
  • Very cold temperatures can slow color development.

Ready

By day three, your SafeTatt™ should be fully developed.

It typically lasts around 1–2 weeks, sometimes longer depending on your skin and placement.

It fades naturally as the outer layer of your skin renews.

If you want to speed up fading, gentle exfoliation can help. Do not scrub hard enough to irritate your skin.

Color

Our ink works across different skin tones, but the final color can vary from person to person because it reacts differently with each person’s skin. The finished shade may range from blue-green to deep blue-black, making every result slightly unique.

Fading

The color fades as your skin naturally renews. How long the tattoo lasts depends on several factors:

  • physical activity
  • placement — high-friction areas fade faster
  • your individual skin
  • your natural rate of exfoliation

Daily Activity

If you want your SafeTatt™ to last as long as possible, limit excessive heat, water, and friction. Once developed, you can live normally, but frequent rubbing, swimming, washing, and heavy sweating may make it fade faster.

Warnings & Recommendations

If you have very sensitive skin or a history of strong allergic reactions, we recommend starting with the smallest tattoo as a patch test before applying a larger design.

WARNING: FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. Avoid use on the face, intimate areas, or sensitive, irritated, or damaged skin. Do not repeatedly apply to the same area before the previous tattoo has fully faded, as this may increase the risk of irritation or sensitization. As with any new topical product, an allergic reaction is possible. Do not use if you have previously experienced a skin reaction or irritation from a semi-permanent tattoo. If you are unsure, consult a healthcare professional before use. If you develop a rash, itching, swelling, blistering, or other concerning symptoms, stop use and seek medical advice.
