03. HEALING & AFTERCARE
Your artist will provide a goodie bag with everything you need, including anti-itch cream, gentle soap, healing reminder instructions, and more.
“Message your artist if you have any questions, they are there for you!"
04. ENJOY YOUR FADE
Depending on your design and body, you can expect your tattoo to start getting lighter and lighter over time. Ephemeral ink is designed to fade and your tattoo timeline will differ from others. A standard fade is within 3 years.
“I wanted to test the design before deciding if I wanted to commit to a traditional tattoo that will be around forever.”
FAQ
Yes, of course! Get them with a friend or get them both for yourself. In fact, you can get any of the individual designs from the matching set if you’d like.
Each artist sets their own pricing. "Flash" tattoos, or pre-designed tattoos, are typically priced lower than custom tattoos. These Matching flash tattoos are ready to go and can be shared directly with your artist.
It really depends on your personal pain tolerances and where you are getting tattooed. For most people, arms and legs are typically less painful compared to ribs and more bony (or sensitive) areas like elbows and knees.
Tattooing can often be described as feeling like a scratch and vibration sensation at once. Some can relax into the sensation and fall asleep, while some do better with distraction techniques.
Some tips on making things easier:
- Take ibuprofen before your appointment
- Eat and hydrate before your appointment
- Don’t be afraid to take breaks! When you need a minute to adjust, your artist will always take the time and care you need to stay comfortable throughout your appointment
All Ephemeral tattoos are currently done in black ink. Not only is it the most popular color, it’s preferred by most tattoo artists and looks fantastic with fine line work.
We are developing Ephemeral color ink (hint: 🔴). It’s a delicate process and takes time, but it’s on the horizon. Sign up for our newsletter in the footer to be the first to hear when new Ephemeral colors become available!
