HOW IT WORKS
How To Apply
Apply your heytats tattoo in 6 simple steps. Follow them exactly — most early fading comes from skipped steps, not the ink.
Step 1
Find Your Spot
Smooth? Hairless? Clean? Shave if needed, dry it up, and get ready to flex your freshest ink.
Step 2
Peel It Off
Unwrap the magic. Peel off the clear protective layer and get ready to ink up.
Step 3
Lock It In
Place it, don't chase it. Tattoo down, logo up—make sure it's snug before the magic happens.
Step 4
Drench & Set
Soak it up. Press a wet cloth over the tattoo until the paper's fully drenched.
Step 5
Peel It Back
Slowly peel away the backing paper. Your tattoo will be light at first—don't worry, it's warming up.
Step 6
Your Tattoo Is Set
It starts off light. The ink develops into your skin and darkens fully over the next 24–48 hours.
For best results
Tattoo's Lifespan
Most heytats last 1–2 weeks. Placement matters: areas with more movement, friction or frequent washing (hands, fingers, wrists) fade faster.
Minimise Excessive Moisture
Such as sweating, or swimming during the first 24-48 hours. Wait at least 4 hours after applying to shower.
Avoid Smudging
Wear loose, breathable clothing that fully covers the tattoo for the first two nights.
Reduce Cream Usage
Wait at least 24-48 hours before hydrating. Avoid strong exfoliants and scrubbing in the shower.
How it looks over 2 weeks
From just applied to week 2. Develops in 24–48 hours, lasts 1–2 weeks.
