How long do they last?

How fast do they develop?

The 100% fruit-based ink starts off clear, and develops over 1-4 days. It turns into a dark blue/black design that lasts 1-2 weeks.

The ink soaks into the top layer of the skin. It fades over time as your skin naturally regenerates.

Application Instructions

Before you begin the magic...

  • The tattoos last 1-2 weeks and CANNOT BE REMOVED EASILY.
  • Apply 3-5 days prior to events for optimal darkness. Larger tattoos take longer to develop.
  • Although rare, smudging can occur. Consider this prior to using for weddings or photoshoots.

Step 1: Time & Prime

  • For best results, apply about 1.5 hours before bed to limit movement during the 8 hours after applying.
  • For sheets with multiple tattoos: cut out the design you want to apply.
  • Using one side of the dry cotton pad, rub the skin for 20 seconds. This will exfoliate and extend the life of the tattoo. Wipe excess skin away with the other side of the pad.

Step 2: Apply

** Pro Tip: For larger tattoos, dampen a full hand towel so you can cover the entire tattoo. This will prevent smudging from lifting the towel during application.

  • Peel off top clear sheet.
  • Place the tattoo face down on dry skin.
  • Apply a damp towel over the paper. Apply even pressure for 30 seconds. To avoid smudging, do not move the tattoo once placed.
  • Paper should be visibly wet in all areas. Lift paper off carefully. Don’t panic – the tattoo will start clear & develop over 1-4 days.

Step 3: Wait (a perfect excuse to read!)

  • Leave the tattoo uncovered for 75 minutes, and keep the area as still as possible during this time. Avoid excessive heat.
  • Don’t work out or shower 8 hours after application.
  • MOST IMPORTANTLY: Cover tattoo with loose clothing for the first 2-3 nights to prevent ink transfer during sleep. If you apply during the day, wear loose clothing (tight clothes or skin on skin contact with the tattoo can result in smudging or ink transfer).
  • If ink transfer occurs, a rubbing alcohol pad can help remove ink from the transferred area.
  • Sunscreen, oil based lotions, & exfoliation will shorten tattoo life.

Tips for Tattoo Longevity

  • Avoid using lotion shortly before applying tattoo
  • Don't reposition or move the tattoo once it touches your skin
  • Larger tattoos & tattoos on thicker skin (feet, back, stomach) may take longer to develop
  • Don’t apply on areas that crease (ex. elbow)
  • Avoid areas with hair, or shave 24 hours before applying
  • Avoid scratching & friction after application & during the life of the tattoo
  • Don’t scrub/exfoliate the area after application & during the life of the tattoo
  • If you’re going to swim, cover the tattoo with a balm/jelly
  • Avoid scars, moles, and stretch marks
  • Avoid sensitive areas like the neck, face, upper chest, etc.
  • Wearing tight bras/abrasive clothing will shorten the tattoo life

FAQ

How does it work?

The ink used for these semi-permanent tattoos soaks into the top layer of the skin. It fades over time as your skin naturally regenerates.

The ink is 100% fruit-based and turns into a dark blue/black design that lasts 1-2 weeks.

How can I remove the tattoo sooner?

Although the semi-permanent tattoos last 1-2 weeks and cannot be removed easily, you can attempt to speed up the fading by lightly scrubbing skin with an exfoliant (like warm saltwater or a body scrub). Be gentle!

Rubbing alcohol can also help remove the last stages of fading.

The ink transferred to other parts of my body during sleep - what can I do?

Be sure to wear loose clothing for the first 2-3 nights to prevent ink transfer during sleep.

If ink transfer occurs, a rubbing alcohol pad can help remove ink from the transferred area.

My tattoo didn’t develop correctly. Can you assist?

Tattoo development will vary from person to person. There are different factors that impact how your tattoo turns out and how long it takes to develop. Examples include:

  • Your skin chemistry
  • Whether you sweat while applying the tattoo or in the 75 minutes after
  • Whether you wait 75 minutes before moving or covering the tattoo after application
  • How long you wait to work out or get wet after applying (I recommend 8 hours 🖤)

If your tattoo didn’t develop as expected, please email me at sparrowandwilde@gmail.com

Please include the following so I can best assist you ✨

  • Order number
  • A picture of the tattoo
  • What about the tattoo did not turn out as expected ♥

Can I put a new tattoo in the same spot once the tattoo fades?

I recommend giving your skin a little break between tattoos 🖤 Waiting one month between application in the same spot will help decrease chances of ink sensitivity.

Is the ink FDA Certified?

Although the FDA does not certify any tattoo ink, the 100% fruit-based ink used for the semi-permanent tattoos has been heavily tested and is environmentally friendly.

Are the tattoos vegan?

Yes! The ink is extracted purely from plants 🖤

Are these tattoos safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

Please consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Are these tattoos safe for children?

The tattoos are for ages 18+.

How should I store the tattoos?

Store in a cool and dry area.

Can I swim with the tattoos?

Yes! These tattoos are water resistant because they sink into the top layer of skin.

However, extended exposure to water and swimming (especially in chlorinated water) will shorten the life of your tattoo - see an example timeline here.

To protect your tattoo while in the water, you can apply balm/jelly over the tattoo before swimming.

Can I get a spray tan with these tattoos?

I recommend applying your tattoo prior to getting a spray tan.

Can I get a real tan with these tattoos?

When wearing these tattoos in the sun, you may get a tanline of the tattoo.

Can I tattoo permanently over these tattoos?

I recommend waiting until the semi-permanent tattoo completely fades before getting a real tattoo so as not to mix inks.

What if I have a reaction to the ink?

Please use discretion when using the tattoos on sensitive skin. Similar to any new product you may apply topically, there is a small risk of allergic reaction if it's the first time applying to skin.

These tattoos contain ingredients you may not have put on your skin before. As a result, there's a small risk of allergic reaction upon application (or of sensitization through repeated use).

If a reaction takes place, it's usually a mild case of contact dermatitis (red or inflamed skin as a result of irritation). The itchiness/irritation should subside in a few days. You can speed up the healing process by ensuring that the area is properly moisturized.

If your symptoms persist, I suggest contacting a doctor. If you're experiencing any discomfort, irritability, or if you have any more questions, please send me an email at sparrowandwilde@gmail.com

So Cute!!

I got this crop in a medium in the peachy color and it's great quality and exactly what I hoped it would be. I'm 5'6 with a long torso and a C cup and the hem falls just below my navel. For me, the right amount of coverage but still shows a little skin when I lift my arms. :) The peach color is so pretty and I love repping our girl Diem.

This short is so soft and cozy. The fabric feels so nice against my skin and the fir is great, just loose enough but still cut nicely.

I cannot describe the level of pure joy I had when I opened my S&W envelope and found my bracelets. They are beautiful, colorful, and so much fun. My only regret is that I didn’t snag a quest squad bracelet, but my Silver One giveaway bracelet from Erin rounds out this awesome trio. Even my 5 year old is jealous of the colorful new bling

Now aboard the Dain Train

Listen, I had such disDAIN - get it? - for Dain Aetos throughout the first couple of books, but after reading Onyx Storm, I absolutely HAD to get some merch to represent his Character ARC. This is perfect for anyone who has been aboard the Dain train since day one, but also for anyone who has recently fallen in love with the man. Such a cute design, and available in different colors or characters. High quality design, high quality material, absolutely would recommend. THE DETAILS that Erin has put into each of these quest squad shirts/sweatshirts is astonishing, you can really tell how much she loves what she does, and loves bringing exceptional merch to her customers.

The black on black embroidery is one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE THINGS. I love everything about this sweatshirt, the design, the color options, the comfortability, the small details, and the inclusion of one of my favorite things Xaden says through out the series. ALL OF IT. Pure perfection. I am well aware that I have an obsession, and will always always always recommend you purchase from Erin.
