Safety of tattooing with STANDSTILL

Even though it may look like plastic at first glance, it's made from medically approved, water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). It has been widely utilized in medical and pharmaceutical applications for decades, ranging from eye drops and wound dressings to self-dissolving sutures, serving as a coating to minimize friction. With STANDSTILL, the film rests only on the surface of the skin and dissolves completely with water.

It is important to note that not everything created in a laboratory is harmful to the human body. In fact, many modern medical materials are intentionally developed in controlled environments to be highly compatible with human tissue. Scientists design these materials to be predictable, stable and well tolerated by the body.

By contrast, many naturally occurring substances can trigger allergic reactions because they contain complex biological proteins that the immune system may recognize as foreign. For this reason, modern medicine often relies on carefully engineered materials that minimize unwanted reactions.

PVA is water-soluble, biocompatible and does not form persistent, solid particles.

PRINTER INK

Inks from original printer brands are water-based and REACH compliant. Their ingredients are similar to skin markers. Additionally, during printing, the water-soluble PVA absorbs the ink and binds it within the film.

ADHESIVE SPRAY 

The skin adhesive is hypoallergenic and latex-free, designed to minimize the risk of irritation. For best results and optimal skin comfort, ensure all residue is completely removed with skin oil or vaseline after the session.

All steps were evaluated by third parties as part of the patented process.

As with all professional tattooing tools, correct application and proper hygiene practices are the responsibility of the professional tattoo artist.
