How It Works
Things to Know
Getting your dream tattoo has never been this easy!
Our high-quality tattoos look incredibly real, last up to two weeks, and are safe for all skin types. As a Swiss-based brand, we hold ourselves to the highest standards 🇨🇭 — precision, clean design, premium quality, and EU-certified safety in every detail.
Tip for the Best Result: 💡
• Wear loose clothing overnight 😴 So nothing transfers onto your skin while the ink settles.
• Your tattoo will appear light at first — totally normal. It develops its full color within 24–48 hours, becoming bold, rich, and vibrant ✨.
• A bit of warmth or light sweating the next day — like after a short workout or a warm shower — can help the color develop slightly faster and deeper. (Avoid extreme heat like saunas — not needed and can stress the skin.)
• Want it to stay fresh longer? Use a light, oil-free moisturizer once the tattoo is fully developed. Hydrated skin fades slower, while oily products speed up fading — so oil-free is key.
Application Steps ✨
01
CHOOSE
Pick a smooth spot on your body, clean it up, and dry it off. Got a little fuzz there? Give it a quick shave for the best result!
02
UNPACK
Unwrap your tattoo and gently peel off the clear protective film from the back.
03
PLACE
Place your tattoo exactly where you want it, making sure the Tattup logo is facing up—ready, set, ink!
04
MOISTEN
Grab a damp cloth or wet towel, soak the backing paper completely, and gently press down for a few seconds—make sure it's totally soaked!
05
REMOVE
Slowly peel off the wet backing paper—don't worry if your tattoo looks a bit faint at first, it'll level up soon!
06
AVOID
Take it easy for the next 8 hours—avoid water and rubbing the area. Wear loose clothing to avoid ink transfer onto other parts of your skin!
07
DONE!
Your tattoo will reach its full, epic look within the next 48 hours—stay tuned!
Why does it take up to 48 hours?
Your tattoo doesn’t just sit on your skin—it becomes part of it.
Our ink gently sinks into the top layer of your skin and reacts naturally with the skin’s own proteins. This reaction slowly develops into a deeper color over 24–48 hours, giving your tattoo a real, lived-in look. It starts light — totally normal — and develops into its full, bold tone as your skin activates the formula.
No needles, no pain — just a smooth, skin-safe transformation that lasts up to two weeks.
This works because our ink is designed to bond with the epidermis, the same layer your skin renews on its own. The result: a realistic tattoo look that fades naturally as your skin regenerates.
Tattoo Longevity
Our tattoos are designed to last up to two weeks, depending on your skin type, tattoo placement, and aftercare. Areas with less friction, like your upper arm or back, stay vibrant longer, while tattoos on your hands and fingers may fade faster.
To maximize longevity, avoid heavy scrubbing, hot water, and oil-based products on the tattooed area. Our tattoos are waterproof and sweat-resistant—perfect for everyday wear, workouts, or swimming.
Over time, your tattoo naturally fades, mimicking real ink. If you prefer to remove it sooner, gently exfoliate with soap and water.

How long does a Tattup tattoo last?
A Tattupdesign typically lasts up to 2 weeks, depending on factors like body placement, skin type, and daily activities. For the first eight hours, we recommend minimal friction or water exposure to help the tattoo develop at itsbest.
What color/shade will my tattoo be?
Initially,the tattoo may appear faint or slightly bluish. Within 24–48 hours, itusually reaches its darkest shade, ranging from deep blue to near-black. Each person’s unique skin chemistry can influence the final color, making your Tattup experience a bit personal and unique.
What if I want to remove my tattoo sooner?
If you’d prefer a faster fade, gently exfoliate the area with warm saltwater or a mild scrub. This speeds up the natural shedding of the top skin layer. If you just applied the tattoo and changed your mind immediately, rinsing it off right away can prevent the ink from fully bonding

Is Tattup safe?
Yes. Our formula has been thoroughly tested (EU-Certified) for safe, needle-free application. We do recommend a patch test if you have particularly sensitive skin. Although Tattup is suitable for most adults, we generally advise use from age 18+. If you notice any unusual reaction, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional

What makes Tattup so special?
Tattup combines advanced ink technology, vegan-friendly materials, and eco-conscious practices to create tattoos that look strikingly realistic but naturally fade after about 1–2 weeks.
We also stay up to date with current trends, offering designs you won’t find elsewhere—including our exclusive, pre-styled “Shop The Look Styles” that instantly elevate your look.
Each tattoo’s proportions are carefully crafted to help you stand out with confidence.
Difference between Shop The Look and Bundles
In our Shop The Look section, you’ll find curated sets of individual tattoos designed to be worn together for a cohesive, fashionable look—at a bundled price. We even show you how to position each tattoo on the body, making it easy to recreate the exact style.
By contrast, Bundles feature multiple tattoos of a similar style, printed on one sheet so you can cut them out and arrange them however you like. While Shop The Look provides ready-made placement suggestions, Bundles give you the freedom to decide exactly how to place each tattoo for a more personalized
touch.
