For those of us who always put off getting a tattoo, something innovative has marked the tattoo industry that will make committing to the ink a lot easier.
Founded by two entrepreneurial brother's Tyler and Branden Handley, inbox ink inc . gives millennials and people of all ages access to top-quality tattoos without the life commitment or regret.
The Toronto-based company promises its tattoos will last for two weeks. They look real with the same dark, black hue of a typical tattoo. However, these tattoos are made of a fruit-based, all-natural ingredient mixture of Genipa Americana, rosemary oil, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate and citric acid according to its website.
This mixture allows the tattoo to dye the skin with no pain or needles and it's safe for all ages. Also, the tattoo can be reapplied to be used a second time with a lifespan of eight to 10 days in case you really loved the design.
The company specializes in two forms of tattooing, which are the fill in stencil and the tattoo applicator "inkbox" that takes no longer than 10 minutes to apply.
People have the option of choosing from more than 300 styles of tattoos from inkbox's full catalog. The inkboxes range from 0.5 inches to 5 inches and come in seven different sizes, which means you can finally get that sleeve tattoo you've been dreaming of.
The company that launched out of the Ryerson Fashion Zone at Ryerson University, one of Canada's largest start-up incubators, has a Kickstarter page to raise more funds to expand its brand with more colors, designs, hire tattoo developers and perfect its tattoo-making online studio for people to custom make tattoos through their computer.
It currently can take custom orders of tattoos through its Kickstarter page. However, the custom tattoos do have some limitation such as they can't have any shading, be any other color than black or have detailed pointillism.
