Activating and Deactivating Magic Ink

We have partnered with the world's most famous tattoo studio, Bang Bang, to make the world's first magic tattoos

The HYPRSKN research and development team has spent 5 years and several million dollars experimenting, researching, and testing Magic Ink.

  • + Magic Ink is a groundbreaking tattoo technology that lets you rewrite, erase, and reprogram your tattoos. Utilizing UV-reactive ink technology, Magic Ink enables users to change the image or design within their skin instantly, painlessly, thousands of times. See magic tattoos here.

  • + Magic Ink works by incorporating special UV-reactive pigments into a medical-grade, bio-safe polymer shell. When exposed to a specific wavelength of UV light, the pigments become visible, allowing the tattoo design to appear. By applying a different light wavelength, the pigments can be deactivated or "erased," effectively making the tattoo design invisible on the skin. Learn more about the technology here.

  • + Magic Ink has undergone rigorous safety testing and is designed to exceed the highest industry regulatory global standards. The UV-reactive pigments encased in medical-grade polymer shells have been carefully safety tested for their bio-compatibility. Learn more about Intradermal science here.

  • + When deactivated, Magic Ink is virtually invisible. What may remain visible to the naked eye is the trauma done to the skin during the tattooing process, which may fade over time. Have you ever had a scratch that lasts for 3 months? Tattooing skin does similar damage, and the healing process and success of the rejuvenation of skin are factors that relate to each person’s biochemistry, immune system, and the care put into the healing process of the tattoo. You can find several examples of raw, unedited images and videos of Magic Ink activated and deactivated throughout this site.

  • + The process of erasing or changing the tattoo with Magic Ink is nearly instant. By applying a specific wavelength of light to deactivate the pigments, the design will disappear. You can find examples of erasing, deactivating, and reprogramming Magic Ink tattoos here.

  • + No! The process of activating or deactivating "Magic Ink" using light is completely painless and nearly instant. See Magic Ink tattoos deactivating here.

  • + Multiple times per day! Activating and deactivating Magic Ink is fast, easy, and painless. You can activate and deactivate your tattoo thousands of times over its lifetime. In vitro experiments (tests outside of skin) have shown Magic Ink has the ability to activate and deactivate over 10,000 times. Magic ink is designed to last.

  • + The duration of a Magic Ink design is controllable. The UV-reactive pigments have been developed to last, but factors such as individual skin characteristics, exposure to UV light, and proper care can influence the intensity of the design. Generally, a Magic Tattoo design should remain visible for a considerable period, but if desired, it can be easily erased and replaced with a new design using the appropriate UV light wavelength. If a design is covered by clothing, it may last days, even months. The sun can deactivate or activate Magic Ink depending on UV and visible wavelength variables. Learn more about specific wavelengths of light here.vItem description

  • + Yes! One of the remarkable features of Magic Ink is its reprogrammable nature. Users can change the tattoo design as many times as they wish by using specific UV light wavelengths to activate or deactivate specific pigments within the ink. This offers a high level of flexibility and allows for personalized expression through tattoo art. You can find examples of users changing their tattoos on the Magic Pen page.

  • + Magic Ink is a cutting-edge technology that will be available to a carefully selected group of industry-leading artists before global distribution.

  • + Safety studies were conducted by world-renowned, board-certified Dermatologist and Dermatopathologist, Dr. Adarsh Vijay Mudgil. Magic Ink has shown a safety profile equal to conventional tattoo inks. As with any tattooing process, there are potential risks of infection, allergic reactions, or skin irritation. It's crucial to ensure that the tattoo artist follows proper hygiene practices and uses sterile equipment. Individuals with a history of skin sensitivities or allergies should consult with a dermatologist before getting a tattoo using any tattoo ink. Learn more about safety here.

  • + Magic Ink represents a significant advancement in tattoo technology, and its future holds great promise. As research and development continue, we will offer a wide range of color options. The availability and accessibility of Magic Ink may also expand as more tattoo artists become trained. It's an exciting time for innovation in the tattoo industry, and Magic Ink is at the forefront of this evolution.
