Frequently Asked Questions

01.

Is Jagua Ink a real tattoo? 

No, it's not! It's a fruit juice that temporarily stains the surface layer of your skin! More info here.

02.

Will it hurt?

No, it won't! Jagua ink is just like henna – the ink is gently applied and only stains the skin's surface. There are no needles involved, and no skin penetration.

Is Jagua safe?

Yes, Jagua is safe and does not contain harmful chemicals. It is similar to henna in several ways, it is made from a plant and has been used safely by several Amazon tribes for ages. However, there might be cases of allergies for people that are allergic to most tropical fruits. If you are sensitive, then you can do a patch test before using Jagua or discuss your concerns with your doctor. Also, in some individuals, when fresh Jagua body art is exposed to heat within the first 48 hours, it can actually lead to a reaction. In the event that you have a bad reaction to Jagua, you can use hydrocortisone or any other natural remedy to relieve the itchiness which is usually not severe.

Are there colour options?

Sadly no, as this isn't artificially dyed ink. The Jagua ink naturally stains dark blue. Depending on skin conditions, the hue of blue will differ slightly. Check out our gallery for more references.

I just got inked! But why is the tattoo so light?

Don't panic! Please allow the stain to fully mature after 1-2 days. Please refer to the Aftercare for more details.  In the event the stain is still not darker after 1-2 days, kindly inform the artist and they will assist you from there.
