The science behind Ephemeral

Vegan non-metallic ink

Unlike traditional tattoo ink, our bodies naturally remove Ephemeral ink over time. Our ink is made from ingredients that are FDA-approved for medical use and tested for biocompatibility.

We’re raising the bar for tattoo ink safety.

Real tattoos that really disappear

Ephemeral tattoo ink is the first ink designed to naturally fade over time. Exact fade times depend on person, placement, and design, and they always fade away 100%.

Biology and technology? Meet limitless self-expression.
