Frequently Asked Questions

About OOTD Tattoo

How does OOTD tattoo work?

Our tattoos contain a natural pigment extracted from gardenia fruits. When first applied, the pigment is clear in colour and gradually develops to blueish black colour over time, as it reacts with the amino acids in the top layer of your skin. The colour may vary slightly from person to person, depending on individual skin chemistry. Hence, this is a great way to express your unique self!

Does OOTD tattoo have a best before date?

Our tattoos look the best within 12 months after manufacturing, as the darkness of the pigment may reduce over time. We recommend applying OOTD tattoos as soon as possible and storying them in a cool and dry location, out of direct sunlight.

    Are OOTD Tattoos safe?

    Our tattoos meet the EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements. To safely use OOTD tattoos, please avoid sensitive skin areas and consult your doctor if you have pre-existing allergic skin condition. OOTD tattoos are for external use only.

      Is OOTD Tattoo vegan/halal?

      Yes, as our tattoos are free of animal products.

      Application and Removal of OOTD Tattoos

      How long does it take OOTD tattoos to develop to full colour?

        Generally 24-36 hours, which may vary slightly depending on your skin and how tattoos are applied.

        How can I make it develop colour faster?

        To speed up the colour development, you can cover the tattoo with cling wrap for a few hours after application. However, we do not recommend doing so on a hot day or if you sweat easily, as the sweat may smudge your tattoo before it’s fully developed.

        Why does my tattoo still look a bit faint after 2 days

        How long do OOTD tattoos last?

          Generally 10 -15 days, depending on the location of placement. Even though our tattoos are water resistant, frequent contact with water does impact the longevity of your tattoo. Tattoos on hands usually fade faster due to the more frequent washing and friction.
          To keep your tattoo lasting longer and looking fresh, we recommend
          1. Applying moisturiser daily, from the second day after application.
          2. Avoiding rubbing the tattoo and minimise exposure to excessive steam

          Can I remove OOTD tattoo after application?

            Our tattoos will fade away naturally as your skin regenerates. Because the pigment in our tattoos react with the top layer of your skin, it is hard to remove it in the first week after application. As your tattoo starts to fade, you can apply body scrub or liquid exfoliant to speed up the fading.
