PRODUCT INFORMATION
Lemmetat works by sinking our Ink into the top layer of your skin. During the application process, the ink reacts with the organic compounds in your skin to change its color to dark blue or black, depending on your unique skin chemistry.
Traditional tattoos are permanent because they sit in your dermis. Lemmetat sits in your epidermis, which naturally regenerates in 1-2 weeks. That’s why our tattoos go from fresh to fade in roughly 1-2 weeks.
Lemmetat tattoos look authentic and last longer than typical temporary tattoos because of our organic ink properties. It sinks into the top layer of your skin (the epidermis), where it reacts with the organic compounds to alter your skin’s color, resembling that of a real tattoo
Definetely! Lemmetat works on all skin tones.
Our formula absorbs into the skin and reacts with the amino acids in the epidermis (i.e. the first layer). This reaction changes the color of the skin to a blue/black. With darker pigmentations of skin, the darker the tattoo typically appears.
You should store your tattoos in a cool, dry location, and out of direct sunlight!
But don’t worry; it’s not harmful or toxic for your skin after that! The potency of the ink just reduces over time, so we recommend using it sooner rather than later for best results.
Henna
Lemmetat isn’t henna. Natural henna develops into a brown color, and some “black henna” can contain harmful chemicals such as PPD.
Lemmetat ink on the other hand is extracted from the fruit juices.
CARE INSTRUCTION
Now that you have your tattoo, you are wondering how to keep it looking fresh for as long as possible?
Here are some tips for aftercare for tattoos:
- During the first 8 hours after application don’t sweat or shower.
- Use a moisturiser to keep your tattoo moist.
- Daily moisturising is recommended after 24 hours.
- Avoid scrubbing or exfoliating the area.
The best way to remove your tattoo is to lightly exfoliate with one of the following:
- Warm salt water – we find that this works best!
- A body scrub
- A wash cloth
💡 Be gentle with your skin and stop scrubbing if you feel any discomfort.
Note: Because our ink sinks into the top layer of your skin, it’s tougher to remove the pigment immediately after application. You might need to wait a few days for your skin to start regenerating before being able to scrub the ink away.
Tattoo development will vary slightly from person to person. There are a few factors that can impact how your tattoo turns out. For example:
- Individual skin chemistry
- Whether your skin is properly moisturized (prior to and post-application)
- Whether you sweat during application
- How long you wait to sweat/shower after applying (we recommend at least 8 hours!)
If your tattoo didn’t turn out as expected, please email us at -Lemmetatz@gmail.com with your order number – our team would love to help.
It takes 24-36 hours for your tattoo to develop and darken – it’s part of the Lemmetat magic!
So don’t worry if your design is light blue at first – it’ll get darker over the next day or so.
Here’s what you can expect:
Lemmetat tattoos are life-proof. You can shower, swim, sweat, and go about your day.
While the tattoos are waterproof, water exposure may decrease the lifespan of the tattoo. To protect against fading, after applying sunscreen, apply petroleum jelly or your favourite balm to the tattooed area before jumping into the water. 🌊
