Ephemeral Solutions

With a team of chemical engineers, computer scientists, and tattoo lovers, we seek to fundamentally change the way people view tattoos. We see a world where tattoos are an ephemeral accessory of one’s creativity and self-expression, where commitment and regret don’t stop you from expressing yourself. To realize this vision, we’re building a platform of semi-permanent inks, lasting anywhere from a 6 months to 2 years. We’re also building removal solutions that empower our users to change and remove their tattoos. These inks work perfectly with artists’ existing tools and equipment, and our ultimate goal is to make removal as easy as possible -- we’re currently working on a removal method that is as easy as placing a sticker over your tattoo overnight.

Our tattoo inks are formulated and engineered with removability and aesthetic superiority when compared to the inks used today. We’ve encapsulated small dye molecules in spherical structures made completely of biomaterials. These spherical structures break down over time, allowing the small dye molecules to be cleared out by your immune system. Our removal solution accelerates the degradation of the spherical structures -- effectively removing the tattoo. This provides our users the option of removing or modifying their tattoo(s) anytime they want.

The tattoo application process is exactly the same – you go to a tattoo parlor and get tattoo’ed with Ephemeral ink instead of the inks used today. It is important to note that the removal method may change as we continue to grow, our ultimate goal is to deliver the most effective products while providing a comfortable and seamless user experience.

We’ve been on this mission for the last 2 years, and are at a really exciting time in our company. We’ve proven the demand and the technology, the R&D is advancing, and our launch is slowly coming into sight. We hope you guys are as excited about this opportunity as we are, and we are thrilled at the potential to be a Techstars Company.
