Abstract Woman Linework

• Real tattoo: the ink is needled into the dermis and stays permanently.
• Henna: stains the skin orange to reddish-brown and is usually painted on freehand.
• Stick-on tattoos: the design sits on the skin as a layer of color, often looks shiny and usually peels off within a few days.
• Tattup: the ink sinks into the top layer of your skin and reacts there with your skin’s amino acids. Within 24–48 hours it becomes a dark blue to black tattoo that looks like a real one – no needles, waterproof, lasts up to 2 weeks.

Because the colour doesn’t sit on your skin – it forms inside it. The ink sinks into the top layer of your skin and reacts there with the amino acids in your skin’s proteins, creating a deep blue-black within 24–48 hours. No shine, no film, no edges: it looks like a real tattoo and lasts up to 2 weeks.

At first barely visible or light blue. Then the ink reacts with your skin’s amino acids: after 24–48 hours it’s dark blue to almost black, a little different depending on your skin.

Up to 2 weeks. By then the top layer of your skin has renewed itself and the tattoo is gone.

How to make it last longer:

• First 8 hours: no water, no rubbing.
• First day: avoid contact as much as you can, wear loose clothes.
• First 2 nights: wear something loose to sleep in – especially with a sleeve.
• Choose spots with little friction.
• From 48 hours on, once the colour has fully developed: apply a light, oil-free lotion daily.
• Don’t scrub or exfoliate.

Our guide shows how long it lasts on each part of the body.

Yes. From the next day on you can shower, swim, do sports and go to the sauna. 💦

Just for the first 8 hours: no water, no rubbing.

Good to know: lots of water and rubbing make it fade a little faster.

Yes. Our formula was tested by a laboratory and rated safe in a safety report under the EU Cosmetics Regulation – as required for every cosmetic product in the EU.

As with any cosmetic product, an allergic reaction can never be ruled out completely. If you have sensitive skin, do a small patch test first. We recommend Tattup for ages 18 and up.
