How does it work?

Temporary tattoos have become a popular alternative to permanent tattoos for those who want to experiment with different designs or just want to try out a new look for a short period of time. But how do these temporary tattoos work?

There are two types of temporary tattoos: film-based and no-film options.

No-film semi-permanent tattoos

TATTS is a plant-based formula, with our active ingredient derived from the Americana plant. TATTS works similarly to henna, using a different molecule to penetrate the skin cell and react with organic compounds to change the color of your skin. Both TATTS and henna tattoos are semi-permanent, sitting in the epidermis layer of the skin and lasting for around 1.5-2.5 weeks, depending on placement, daily activity, exfoliation, and skin moisture. It's important to note that there's a difference between semi-permanent and temporary tattoos. Temporary tattoos simply sit on top of the skin and wash off, while semi-permanent tattoos penetrate the skin and actually alter its color.
