Learn How It Works

Real tattoos that really disappear

Exact fade times vary and depend on the person, placement, design and how well the tattoo is cared for while healing.

"Def fading as promised. Love it. Now that I know what it's like to live with it, I'll have it traced w permanent ink. A happy customer. Thank you guys again."

Lee D., Los Angeles, Appointment Date: March 2023

"My tattoo faded after 14 months! Glad I went ephemeral because being as indecisive as I am, definitely ready for a new design."

Jenny E., Los Angeles, Appointment Date: June 2023

"I got this tattoo in March 2023. I would recommend ephemeral to all my friends, I love the fade and I'm so glad I didn't do permanent!"

Laura F., Atlanta, Appointment Date: March 2023

"It's been fascinating to see the ink disappear and it brings to mind how temporary things in general can be."

Frank M., D.C., Appointment Date: July 2023

"I see it fading now, was wondering if I can get it reinked with the same artist :)"
