Custom Commitment-Free Tattoos

Inkbox Provides Creative Body Art Options to Suit Consumers’ Needs

— September 12, 2018 — Marketing
Inkbox is a Toronto-based company that was created in response to the commitment anxiety many consumers who are interested in getting inked feel. With Inkbox semi-permanent tattoos, consumers can get a custom design that lasts eight to 18 days, which can easily be applied at home within 15 minutes. Although the tattoos are semi-permanent, they look totally real, with the ink sitting on the skin in a natural fashion, rather than looking like a sticker.

Apart from helping consumers gain the confidence they need to go through with a permanent design, Inkbox supports independent artists by outsourcing designs, allowing consumers to access work from different artists through its custom platform. Although Inkbox has well over 1,000 designs that are readily available for purchase, consumers can use the custom platform to get the exact design they want, whether it’s a work of their own, or a design from a talented artist across the globe. Once the design is created, it can be previewed to ensure the perfect size and placement, or saved to edit further at a later time. Next, Inkbox cuts the design with lasers and ships it out.

In addition, Inkbox assists indigenous tribes in Panama through the Darien Initiative. A charity, the Darien Initiative provides support to the people of the Darién Gap by providing them with community and agricultural support programs. As the ink that Inkbox uses comes from a fruit that’s derived from this region, it uses sustainable practices while giving back to the community that’s responsible for it.

Those looking to try out a semi-permanent tattoo or find out more can check out Inkbox’s website, Instagram, and Twitter. When purchasing online, they can also take advantage of the code TRENDING20 for a 20% discount on their order.
