How do I apply an INCKED tattoo?

Your INCKED tattoo can be easily applied by following these steps:

  1. Shave the area prior to application.
  2. Clean the area well with the primer wipes provided, and ensure it has fully dried before application. 
  3. Remove the clear film from your tattoo carefully, avoiding contact with or smudging the inked areas.
  4. Apply the tattoo gently to the desired area, ensuring it adheres firmly, then use a wet cloth to press down over the tattoo for 30 seconds.
  5. Carefully peel off the white backing paper from the tattoo, making sure the design stays firmly in place.
  6. Wear long clothing and keep the tattoo covered while sleeping for 1-2 nights post application (this ensures that it won’t transfer to other body parts!). 
  7. The tattoo starts off invisible and develops over 48 hours.


We recommend testing out our smaller tattoos first, as they are significantly easier to apply than sleeves. When applying sleeves, we recommend asking a friend for help as the large designs may slip when self-applying, causing slight smudging.
