How it Works
Our natural Inkster Ink soaks into the first layer of skin and reacts with natural compounds in your skin and the air, turning it black or blue.

The skin layer makes the difference
Real tattoo look without the commitment
The Inkster active ingredient sinks into the top layer of skin instead of staying on the surface like a conventional sticker tattoo. That means your tattoo lasts up to 2 weeks and is waterproof.

Got a question?
We've got the answers.
Which set is right for me?
The bigger the set, the more free tattoos you get and the cheaper each individual tattoo becomes. A bigger set is worth it if you want to try different designs and spots, or share a few tattoos with friends or family.
What's included in the Starter Set?
You choose between three sizes: Basic (3 tattoos + 1 free), Maxi (4 + 2 free) and Deluxe (5 + 3 free). Every set also includes a Pop-Up sponge, Tattoo Primer (4, 6 or 8 pieces) and the Tattoo Guide. Shipping is free.
Can I choose the designs in the set myself?
Yes, you choose all designs yourself, including the free tattoos.
Can I save tattoos for later?
Yes. Unopened, the tattoos keep for up to 12 months if you store them in a cool, dry place. For the best result, though, it's best to apply them soon. Each tattoo can only be used once.
How long does a tattoo last?
1–2 weeks, depending on the body part. The tattoo fades slowly as the top layer of skin naturally renews itself. It lasts longest on spots with little friction and water, for example the inner forearm. Moisturising daily helps too.
Can you tell it's not a real tattoo?
Inkster looks very real because the ink doesn't sit on top of the skin but sinks into the top layer of skin and turns blue-black there.
Is it henna?
No. Natural henna stains the skin brown, while Inkster turns blue-black. The colour develops with plant-based ingredients that react with your skin.
How long does it take to apply?
Just 1–2 minutes. The video further up on this page shows you exactly how it works. The instructions are also printed on the packaging.
Does applying it hurt?
No, not at all. No needle or anything similar is used.
Do I need to prepare anything?
Choose a spot with little hair and without wrinkles, scars, moles or stretch marks. It's best to shave the spot 24 hours beforehand so your skin isn't irritated. Wash your skin thoroughly and dry it well; cream or grease prevent the ink from sinking in. The Tattoo Primer in the set makes sure your skin is clean. A room temperature of 21–24 °C is ideal.
Which spot works best?
The inner forearm is always a good choice. Avoid spots that move a lot or crease, such as the elbow, and sensitive areas such as the face, neck, upper chest or inner biceps. Choose the spot carefully, because you can only apply each tattoo once.
Why can't I see much right after applying it?
That's normal. The ink reacts with your skin and develops its colour within 24–36 hours. At first it's light blue, then it gets darker and darker. Important: don't wash the tattoo off during the first 8 hours and don't touch it for a few hours. If you still can't see anything after 36 hours, write to us at info@inkster.eu.
Can I shower, swim and go in the sun with it?
Yes, the tattoos are waterproof. Swimming makes the tattoo fade slightly faster, while in the sauna and when sweating it even gets darker. You can wear it in the sun too. Don't rub it dry afterwards, and moisturise it.
What if my tattoo doesn't look the way I hoped?
Every skin is a little different. Next time, make sure to wash the spot thoroughly and dry it well beforehand, and wet the tattoo from the top enough that it comes away completely from the backing material. If it still didn't work, our Tattoo Guarantee applies: write to us at info@inkster.eu and you'll get a new tattoo.
How do I remove the tattoo?
Best with a gentle exfoliation; warm salt water works particularly well. You can also use a body scrub or a washcloth. Be gentle with your skin and stop rubbing if it hurts. For residue, there's also our Tattoo Remover.
What's in the tattoos?
Polyethylacrylate, Genipa Americana Fruit Extract, Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate, Dipropylene Glycol Dibenzoate, Polyvinyl Butyral and Cellulose Acetate Butyrate.
What if my skin reacts?
The tattoos contain ingredients you may never have had on your skin before, so there is a small risk of an allergic reaction. If you notice itching, burning or redness, rinse the tattoo off immediately and stop the application. Usually it's just a mild skin irritation that goes away after a few hours. If the symptoms persist, seek medical advice. If you have known skin sensitivities, it's best to ask your doctor beforehand.
Can I use Inkster during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
As there are no specific studies on use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, we recommend, as a precaution, not using it during this time.
Is Inkster suitable for children?
The tattoos are not suitable for babies and toddlers. Keep them out of the reach of children.
Is there anything else I should watch out for?
Avoid contact with the eyes and rinse them out immediately if anything gets in. Do not use to dye eyelashes or eyebrows, and do not inhale or swallow.
How long does shipping take and what does it cost?
Within Germany your set arrives in 1–3 working days; to Austria, Switzerland and the EU it takes 3–6 working days, internationally 3–10 working days. Shipping is free with the Starter Set deal.
Which payment methods are accepted?
You can pay with PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Klarna and Apple Pay. Depending on your country there are further options such as iDEAL | Wero, Bancontact, BLIK, EPS, MobilePay or Twint. You'll see which methods are available to you at checkout.
Can I return my order?
Yes, within 14 days of receipt. You can return unopened and unused Inkster products. To do so, write to us at info@inkster.eu with your order number, the products and quantity, and the reason.
