Did not give me the “real teal” that was supposed to come with my package. I emailed their customer support and it has been over a week with no response. I’ve ordered from them before and it was good quality, however I cannot give a company a positive rating if they cannot get back to their customers.

Hi, Johnny!

We're sorry to hear that. Per reviewing your order history with us, I see that you emailed us on 6/30 and we replied about 4 hours after. The message may have gone through your Spam or Promotions folder.

Unfortunately, though, we still have not yet had the real teal back in stock. But I am emailing you today too to talk about things we can do to turn this into a good experience for you.

Apologies again and have a good day,

The tattoo was beautiful, but short lived

The tattoo was beautiful, I followed the instructions to a T, but it rubbed off in less than two days.

Very cool service, no response from support

Very cool service, and one day in the tattoo looks pretty good, but I reached out to customer service about 5 days ago because I don't think I received the "Real Teal" ointment, and have yet to hear back

My tattoo came with white spots

My tattoo came with white spots where it should have been filled in with black. Didnt want to bother with a replacement and I dont need a refund either because i actually like the tattoo, but i wont apply it without the real teal, which apparently the company is out of. (I dont even think they sell it individually)

UPDATE: The support team was very quick to correct and re-send my order. For that i am very grateful. My tattoos came out perfect this time around. Thank you!

It was flaking off a lot. It flaked off so much and so quickly that it was gone in like, 10 minutes and it was just black speckles on my skin

Hi there,

We're so sorry about that. We are very close to having the real teal back. I see that you emailed us last 6/30 and we replied the day after. The message may have gone through your spam/promotions folder. I'll email you again today about it.

Apologies again,

$40 for three tattoos

$40 for three tattoos. Only to get an open envelope and instructions inside to make sure to use their special applicant on the tattoo…which wasn’t in the open envelope. The envelope was never even glued closed. I emailed the customer service with pictures, right away. No answer. Guys, try something else. Spending this much on a silly temp tattoo is one thing. But to not get your full order is bad business.

Hi, Marc!

We're sorry to hear about that. I reviewed our inbox and found a match under your name. I see that we replied to your email last Monday (we do not operate over the weekend). Our reply might have gone to your spam/promotions folder.

We have had a significant delay in our Real Teal™ supply chain. Our inventory should be replenished probably by next month. Real Teal™ is a solution and is not required for the application of your tattoos. Your tattoos can be applied as recommended.

That said, I'd like to help resolve this for you if you have had quality issues with the tattoo. I will request your order info via TrustPilot's internal conversation to make sure I am looking at the right order.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding,

Delivery didn't come in time but was issued a full refund!!

Incorrect delivery times, ordered to UK and didn't receive until a month later. Really poor service and received no response from momentary ink customer service after multiple emails. Definitely would not use again. Haven't yet used the tattoos to confirm quality.

Update: thank you momentary ink for issuing a full refund

Hi, Sules! We're sad to hear that your Momemtary Ink experience did not go well. International deliveries may be longer as we entrust the delivery to our courier partner. We might have had no issues in fulfilling your order in time, however, circumstances beyond our control may delay the shipment.

Please be advised that we are currently experiencing technical issues with our support inbox which may have blocked us from seeing your email/s.

I am not able to see your order details here but I'd really like to help sort this out for you. I highly recommend initiating a chat with our support team through our official website, www.momentaryink.com. We operate during weekdays, from Monday to Friday, between 11 am to 9pm Eastern Standard Time. I have let the team know that they can look out for your chat and make sure you get the good experience you deserve.

We apologize again for the inconvenience and may you have a great day!

Good For A Day, Nothing More

I purchased a custom colour temp tattoo from Momentary Ink in order to test drive a thigh tattoo I wanted to get. Overall I was disappointed with my experience. The tattoo applied easily but even after letting it air dry for hours it remained tacky and quickly picked up lint. starting to peel within a day. I don't entirely regret buying this as it really helped me visualize my new tattoo and helped a lot when showing my artist the vision I had. But it was quite expensive and didn't come with the mattifying solution (they're out but didn't say anything about that in my package - I thought they just forgot to include it). I also had a really negative experience with customer service. I emailed twice and didn't get a response. When I reached out on Insta they said they emailed me then proceeded to ignore my follow-up message about the quality of the tattoo (tackiness, peeling).

The only reason I'm not giving this a lower score is that I did find the tattoo useful despite the terrible quality of the product.

Pros:
- fast shipping and delivery
- good way to test out a real tattoo for size and placement and show your artist

Cons:
- Tattoo stayed tacky and quickly picked up lint and started peeling
- Only lasted a day before it looked terrible and I removed it
- Very expensive for the quality (1/12th of my actual thigh tattoo!)
- Unresponsive customer service

Thank you for your honest feedback, Justin!

Per reviewing your communication history with us, I see that both of your emails from May 23rd and June 1st were replied to by our team within those same days. Our replies might have gone through your Spam/Promotions folder. On June 2nd, though, you reached out to us via Instagram where we told you about our replies to your emails. However, a system error automatically marked the support ticket as solved so we have failed to continue handling the issue and resolve it from there.

Overall, it is totally understandable that you'd seen that as a bad experience. We totally do not want any customer to have experienced that. Please accept our sincerest apology for that inconvenience.

I'd also like to thank you for giving us your order and contact info via an unpublished message here in Trustpilot. I'll take this chance to reach out to you via email to make this experience a better one for you.

Have a great day,

Great experience

Ordering was simple and delivery was quick. I was using this as a way to test drive a large (for me) tattoo I had designed before I committed to the size and placement of the real deal. The printed product was absolutely beautiful! Application was a breeze. The only downfall for me was that it stayed fairly sticky for the duration of the wear. It also only lasted for about 3 days, but that was 100% my fault and expected since I wore it for a beach weekend (sunscreen, sand, ocean water, pool chlorine, etc). Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely recommend.

Not worth it

the adhesive surrounding the actual tattoo would pick up lint and dirt making it impossible to clean… i just ended up scraping the tattoo off after 1 day

Hi, Julia!

Our semi-permanent tattoos may take up to 12-36 hours to fully develop on skin after application. Please see this video on how to apply them: https://youtu.be/RJItWYQn81g

That said, we want to take this opportunity to discuss this further with you. We have had a conversation on our support email before, but it was automatically closed by the system due to no response to our last email. I will open that thread again to reach out to you shortly.

We appreciate the chance to make this experience right for you. Have a great day!

Doesn’t Last

I appreciate the image fidelity and quick shipping, but even a couple hours after application, the temporary tattoo started to pit, peel, and stick to my clothing. Within 48 hours, half of the image was gone. I get that it’s temporary, but I expected it to last longer than a free Bazooka Joe bubble gum temporary tattoo.
