Tattoo & Skin Expression Films

Where the technology becomes a voice.

Overview

What it is, and why we build it this way

A tattoo film is skin interface at its most visible: a person chooses to put it on show. Safe body-contact inks, controlled transfer, and wear time that respects the wearer. It is also our loudest product — the one that gets photographed, shared and talked about, and the one that brings new buyers to the other two lines.

Construction

Layer construction

Every layer exists for a reason. Change one and you change how the product behaves on skin — that is where our engineering starts.

1 Protective top coat Matte / gloss, rub resistance for days of wear
2 Printed ink layer CMYK + Pantone, skin-safe, EN71-3 / heavy-metal tested
3 Design film Water-transfer or semi-permanent fruit-ink carrier
4 Skin-contact adhesive Body-safe PSA, low sensitisation, easy removal
5 Release paper Water-release liner, clean transfer in 20–30 s

Typical construction. Layer count, thickness and materials adjustable per programme.
