What Can You Tattoo

You can upload any image from your camera roll or select an existing design from the built-in library. It looks like some tattoo designs will require purchases in the future but as I'm writing this they are all free. I personally really like the designs available, but it is hard to find a good one as the search engine is non-specific and a bit finnicky. The trick is to find an artist whose style you like and select exclusively from their library of designs.

The maximum width is ~.6 inches (1.34CM) and the length is infinite. If you are designing your own tattoo, opt for something rectangular as opposed to square-dimensioned. There is also an option to type and upload text.

Note that it is not possible to edit or layer images that you select from the library itself, something I hope they change in the next app update/rollout.

How Long Does it Last

If you mess up the placement of the tattoo, it will wipe away immediately with no residue with a makeup wipe. Once applying the fixing balm the tattoo will last for 1-2 days or will rinse away after a normal shower.

Does it print on anything else?

In addition to a "skin" mode for tattoos, there is also an object mode for paper/clothing.

I would highly reccomend testing your designs on paper. It shows up like an actual print and I can definitely see people utilizing this for letter-writing or bullet-journaling in the future. The ink on paper does not smudge.

I've only tested the IMPRINTU on denim so far, and it does rinse out after one good wash (if there is residue, it might require a second wash). Unfortunately with denim, unlike skin, if you mess up it's hard to erase it and start over without completely having to wash your garment.
