Company mission
Ephemeral Tattoo's mission is to create a world where every body is a canvas for limitless self-expression, by providing a temporary tattoo solution with ink that is designed to fade.
Our take
Tattoos are widely popular forms of body art within a highly lucrative industry, but many people are apprehensive about getting one. Whilst some people may be interested in expressing themselves through meaningful body tattoos, the fact that they are permanent leads to most people never following through with it.
Ephemeral Tattoo operates tattoo studios that utilize ink that is designed to fade away within 15 months, removing the commitment that customers must usually face when getting a tattoo. In addition to hosting in-house tattoo ideas, the company also takes bespoke requests from customers within their studios in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
Whilst many people would argue that the company misses the crucial tattoo element of commitment, Ephemeral Tattoo has been smart to recognize the gap in the market of tattoo enthusiasts who do not wish to have permanent tattoos. Furthermore, many people who are apprehensive about a tattoo design may use the fade-away tattoos as a test run, presenting further business that would not exist otherwise.
