Frequently asked
Everything about applying, wearing and shipping your tattoos.
The tattoos
Swift Ink is made from organic vegan plant extract and natural henna extracts. No harsh chemicals, no permanent dyes. Skin-safe and suitable for all skin types.
Press it face-down on clean, dry skin and hold a damp cloth on top for about 60 seconds, then slowly peel the backing away.
This is completely normal. Swift Ink tattoos start off invisible or very faint after application. The full colour develops gradually over 24–48 hours — just like a real tattoo reveal.
Avoid skin-on-skin contact while your tattoo is developing (the first 24–48 hours). Touching, rubbing or resting the area against other skin may result in a faulty transfer of the tattoo, leaving it smudged or patchy.
1–2 weeks depending on placement and skin type. Areas that rub against clothing or get wet frequently may fade faster.
Apply baby oil or rubbing alcohol to the tattoo and rub gently. It lifts off cleanly with no marks left behind.
Yes — vegan, plant-based, and free from harsh chemicals. If you have a known skin condition we recommend a small patch test first.
Halal & wudu
No. Water passes through and reaches the skin normally. Our tattoos do not create a barrier that would invalidate wudu — you can pray as normal.
Yes — 100%. Our tattoos contain no permanent ink and sit on the surface of the skin only. They do not penetrate the skin barrier, making them permissible under Islamic guidelines.
