Inspired to change an industry with life-long requirements.

Growing up in traditional immigrant households, the Ephemeral founders believed they could never get tattoos due to religious or cultural reasons, and the taboo social implications of how a person with body art was perceived within their communities.

While practicing for their Ph.D’s, our founders discovered an interest in how 
to make tattoos disappear, without the help of laser removal surgery 
(and what that could mean for those 
age-old stereotypes).

This question drove them to work for seven years to develop a revolutionary, biodegradable ink that fades; a new kind of tattoo that breaks down barriers and stands for self-expression, the spur of the moment
 and standing out from the rest.
