EZINK Custom turns the artwork you upload into a plant-based genipa ink tattoo that develops inside your skin: your character’s marks, your crew’s matching piece or your own sketch, prepared by an artist and gone on its own in 1 to 2 weeks.

You found the design months ago. Your character’s forearm marks. The matching piece the whole camp agreed on in the group chat. The one sketch you have wanted on your skin since you were sixteen.
Then you tried to actually get it onto your body in time for the event.
One cosplayer summed up the fallback plan the night before a con:
“I’ve used them before! Sadly their shipping would’ve taken too long, so I’m winging it with a temporary tattoo I printed at home.”
Printer paper frays by lunch. Sharpie looks like Sharpie. Marketplace sellers want a minimum order, a three-week wait and a shipping fee that costs more than the tattoo.
So how do some people show up with exactly the right ink, hold it through three sweaty days, and have clean skin two weeks later?
A printed decal, a marker line, a layer of paint: anything on the surface is one sweaty set, one sunscreen spray or one costume sleeve away from smearing. And it never quite looks real, because real ink is in the skin, not on it.
Fast and cheap, and it reads as a decal: edges lift and the surface shines under stage lights. One cosplayer’s honest review of their own print job: “it’ll fray a little at the wrist.”
Hours of drawing the night before, then sweat and one hug take it off. The verdict on marker “tattoo pens” from r/tattooadvice: “Just buy a Sharpie.”
Six-unit minimums, black-line-only art, vague timelines and shipping that beats your event to the finish line. As one Redditor put it: “custom temporary tattoos are a thing but they seem to be expensive.”
Great for the first photo. Then it melts. One festival regular on why they switched: “I know I’m sweating my makeup off in about 5 mins… the tattoos hold up.”
EZINK Custom is a made-to-order semi-permanent tattoo printed from the file you upload. A custom artist individually prepares your artwork for print and sends you a mock-up to approve. Then it is printed in plant-based genipa ink, the fruit-derived pigment that absorbs into the very top layer of your skin instead of sitting on it.
Apply it a day or two before the event. It goes on almost clear, darkens over 24 to 72 hours into black and grey ink with real shading, rides out sweat, showers and a three-day weekend, then fades naturally in 1 to 2 weeks as your skin renews.
Any PNG, JPG or SVG. Any size from a 2 × 2 inch mini to a 7 × 19 inch full sleeve. No needles, no healing, no settling for the closest thing on a shelf.
Loved by over 200,000 customers.
Custom is printed for you, not pulled from a shelf, so the one question that matters is “will it be on my arm by the day?” Here is how the weeks break down.
The same arm when first applied and 72 hours later.
Choose a size and pack, upload your PNG, JPG or SVG (at least 1000 × 1000 px) and check out.
A custom artist preps your artwork and sends a mock-up. Nothing is printed until you say yes.
From mock-up approval, allow 3 to 4 weeks including shipping. Custom orders ship separately from stock tattoos.
Prime with the included wipe, press for 30 to 60 seconds, peel. It goes on almost clear.
24 to 72 hours later it has developed into real-looking black and grey. It lasts 1 to 2 weeks, then fades.
Order early • Approve the mock-up fast • Apply 2 days before the event
Upload the artwork and a custom artist prepares it line by line for print, then sends a mock-up before anything gets made. Character marks, a crew logo, your own sketch, even a photo of an existing tattoo you want to test on a new spot: if it is a PNG, JPG or SVG, it can be an EZINK.
“I sent in a picture and they were able to directly match it… it looks great.”
The ink develops inside the skin with black and grey shading, so there is no glossy film to give it away. The most repeated line in EZINK reviews is some version of “they didn’t believe me.”
“Really easy to apply. My tattoos developed in like 1.5 days and people keep asking if I got a tattoo recently.”
Once developed there is nothing on the surface to peel, so sweat, sunscreen, showers and a mosh pit do not take it off. Apply two days out, use lotion sunscreen rather than spray, and it is still there for the Sunday photos.
“After one week they look absolutely real deep black like the picture! After sweaty days, lots of unwanted rubbing it stayed on strong!”
Custom runs from a 2 × 2 inch mini to a 7 × 19 inch full sleeve, the largest size in the EZINK range and big enough for a shoulder-to-wrist piece. Every design comes as a pack of 3 identical tattoos, so you have a spare for a practice run or a second day. Party Packs of 25 and Event Packs of 50 cover the entire camp.
“Genuinely I got so many compliments… I’m definitely considering buying again.”
Most EZINK customers are trying a tattoo for the first time. Upload the design you are considering, wear it for two weeks at the exact size and spot, and find out how it feels before a needle is involved. Some go get it inked. Some are glad they didn’t. Both get to find out.
“My aunts (who have gotten tattoos all their life) believed it! The quality is so great to test out the idea of a tattoo.”
No drawing skills, no tattoo artist, no minimum beyond a pack of 3.
Six sizes from 2 × 2 to 7 × 19 inches. Packs of 3, 5, 10, 25 or 50 identical tattoos.
PNG, JPG or SVG at 1000 × 1000 px or larger. Screenshots and photos of existing tattoos work. No transparent background needed.
A custom artist preps the file and sends a mock-up within 1 to 2 business days. Nothing prints until you say yes.
Printed in genipa ink, cured, packed with a primer wipe per tattoo and shipped from the production hub. Allow 3 to 4 weeks.
Five minutes to apply, 24 to 72 hours to darken, 1 to 2 weeks of wear.
Step 1Wipe shaved, moisturized skin with the primer wipe for 30 seconds and let it dry.
Step 2Peel off the clear film, lay the design sticky side down and press a damp cloth over it for 30 to 60 seconds.
Step 3Lift the paper slowly. The design looks faint at first. That is normal, the ink is already in your skin.
Step 4Over 24 to 72 hours it darkens into real-looking ink. Skip long soaks on day one and cover it the first night.

EZINK started in 2022 because wearing a tattoo used to mean one of two things: a needle you live with forever, or a kids’ sticker that fools nobody. Custom exists for the third thing. The character you have cosplayed for three years. Your grandmother’s handwriting. The sleeve you are saving up for and want to see on your own arm first.
We do not want to talk you out of a real tattoo. We want you to find out. Wear the exact design, at the exact size, in the exact spot, for two weeks. Then decide.
Roll the dice on the look. Keep your skin for the decision.

“I sent in a picture and they were able to directly match it… it looks great. At 48hrs it had darken in and looked great.”
“Really easy to apply. My tattoos developed in like 1.5 days and people keep asking if I got a tattoo recently because it looks fresh and realistic.”
“I’m a guide and I wasn’t too sure how these would hold up but they’re great. After one week they look absolutely real deep black like the picture!”
“I applied it two days before my vacation and it ended up getting a nice dark finish that looked great.”
“I love how easy it is to apply, the only thing is, don’t do it right before bed. I’m glad I chose ezink over ink box. Really I’m impressed with the quality.”
“Genuinely I got so many compliments… I’m definitely considering buying again.”
Individual results and development times vary with skin type, placement and aftercare.
You approve the mock-up before anything is printed
Custom is made to order, so EZINK shows you a mock-up of your exact design within 1 to 2 business days and prints nothing until you approve it. If the finished tattoo arrives defective or different from what you approved, send photos to hello@ezink.co within 72 hours and the team will make it right. Every parcel is covered by shipping protection: lost, stolen or damaged in transit means a free replacement.
Upload your artwork, approve the mock-up, and wear real-looking custom ink through the whole con or festival. Sizes from a 2 × 2 inch mini to a 7 × 19 inch sleeve, packs from 3 to 50 at buy 1, get 2 free, and clean skin in 1 to 2 weeks. Add any stock designs and every second one is free too.
Order 5 weeks out. Apply 2 days before. Peak ink on the day.
P.S. If you have ever printed a tattoo on your home printer at midnight, or watched the marker version smear onto your costume before the doors opened, this is the fix. Send us the file. We will turn it into ink.
