InkBound tattoos are water transfer tattoos, they consist of a thin layer that sits on the skin's surface and gradually sets onto the skin over the course of a few hours. They do not penetrate or dye the skin.

 

There are a few factors to keep in mind that can effect lifespan;

 

Location - e.g. wrist, hand or foot tattoos will wear faster due to increased friction, whilst thigh, upper arm, neck or chest tattoos can last longer as they are more protected. To prolong the lifespan of your tattoo, avoid excess rubbing or contact with the area as much as you can.  

 

Additionally, oily or dry skin can also affect the longevity of the tattoo. Tattoos tend to last longer on dry skin compared to oily skin as the oil gets underneath the tattoo and causes it to lift faster. Therefore, make sure your skin is clean and dry before applying the tattoo and avoid using oil or alcohol-based products on the tattoo's surface as they can break it down.
