You can return any unused products for a full refund. This means any product not removed from the protective plastic cover. Products that have been opened and/or cut, can not be returned.

Yes, and no. Obviously we need somewhere to send your order, but it doesn't have to be your home address. All orders are sent in discreet packaging and we can ship to PO Boxes, hotels, offices and more.

In the USA you can take advantage of a free post locker service calledGoPost and in the UK the Royal Mail Post Office will accept and hold packages for free under a service called Poste Restante

Do I need to give you my real name?

No we can ship to a pseudonym. But take note that if your package is returned to your mail office and requires you to collect it, you maybe expected to show ID that matches the name on the package.

Tattoo Application and Removal

How do I apply a tattoo?

Instructions are included with each tattoo. But the process is very simple. Remove the tattoo from the plastic bag. Peel off the protective plastic cover. Place the tattoo so that the design is flat against the skin. Place a wet towel on the back on the tattoo and hold firmly for 30 seconds. Once the tattoo is soaked you can peel away the paper and the tattoo will be applied to the skin.

Can I remove a tattoo immediately?

There are 3 common liquids used to remove a tattoo and they remove at different speeds. Acetone (nail polish remover) will dissolve and remove the tattoo immediately. Spirits (40%+) and rubbing alcohol (70%+) will remove the tattoo within about 30 seconds - simply douse a kitchen towel in the alcohol and then holddown on the tattoo for about 30 seconds. Let the alcohol dissolve the tattoo then gently wipe away (there should be no need to rub harshly and redden the skin).

How long do the tattoos last?

This really depends on the skin type and the position of the tattoo. 1 to 3 days is typical for most people, whereas some skin types see 7 days or more. To prolong the length of time the tattoo lasts make sure to avoid: hair, sweat, skin that creases (i.e at joints) and friction (i.e tight clothes or body parts rubbing).

Will there be any marks on my skin after the tattoo is removed?

No. When removing the tattoo you should dissolve it with alcohol first, then gently rub. Do not rub so hard as to redden the skin.
