Our Story
InkInIreland began with a simple frustration: temporary tattoos either looked fake or faded in a day. We wanted something that looked like real ink and lasted through a full week of showers, swims, and sweat. After eighteen months of testing formulations, ink densities, and adhesive layers, we landed on a cosmetic-grade formula that delivers photorealistic detail for up to seven days.
We are a small team based in Ding’an County, Hainan Province, China. Every design is original artwork, created by our in-house illustrators and printed at 1200 DPI on cosmetic-grade transfer paper. We do not white-label or resell generic sheets from bulk suppliers. Every tattoo in our catalog is designed, tested, and packaged by us.
Our Mission
We believe body art should be accessible, temporary, and safe. Not everyone wants a permanent tattoo, and even those who do often want to test a design first. Our tattoos let you try before you commit, switch styles for different occasions, or simply enjoy body art without the lifelong commitment.
We also believe in transparency. Our ingredient list is published on every package. Our ink is FDA-compliant, vegan, and cruelty-free. We never use heavy metals, lead, or untested chemicals. If we would not put it on our own children, we will not sell it.
What Makes Us Different
Photorealistic Print Quality
Our 1200 DPI printing process captures detail that standard temporary tattoos miss. Fine lines as thin as 0.2 mm render crisply. Gradient shading transitions smoothly without banding. The result reads as real ink from arm’s length.
Seven-Day Wear Time
Most temporary tattoos last two to three days. Ours last five to seven, thanks to a dual-layer adhesive system that bonds to the skin without irritating it. The top layer locks in the ink, while the bottom layer flexes with your skin to prevent cracking.
Cosmetic-Grade Safety
Every ingredient in our ink and adhesive is cosmetic-grade and FDA-compliant. We publish the full ingredient list on each package. Our products are vegan, cruelty-free, and non-toxic. They are safe for sensitive skin and children over three years old.
Original Designs
We do not sell generic designs. Every tattoo in our catalog is original artwork created by our team. We release new collections seasonally and retire designs that are no longer popular, so our catalog stays fresh and distinctive.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Our packaging is recyclable cardboard. We use soy-based inks on our printed materials. Our shipping envelopes are compostable. We offset the carbon footprint of every order through a partnership with a verified reforestation program in County Wicklow.
We are not a fast-fashion brand. We produce in small batches to avoid waste, and we would rather sell out than overproduce. If a design is out of stock, it will be back, usually within two weeks.
