I'm Cyann, Founder and Lead Artist at HEYCYANN - I head a team of the best semi-permanent tattoo artists specialising in jagua ink!
We've established a strong reputation for our exceptional work, drawn with plant-based ink (commonly known as Jagua). Our intricate designs leave a beautiful midnight-blue stain on the skin that rival the look of permanent tattoos, lasting for approximately 2 weeks.

I've also been recognised by prominent publications such as L'Officiel, FEMALE, TimeOut, TheSmartLocal, as well as brands such as Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade, Adidas, and been invited to practice and showcase our craft globally. Our presence spans across cities from Singapore to London, Brisbane, Melbourne, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur.

At HEYCYANN, we make our own Jagua ink, with an in-house formula that uses only 100% plant-based, ethically sourced ingredients. This ensures that our ink is maintained at the highest quality, and is safe for people and our planet.

Jagua ink is a natural dye derived from Jagua fruit (Genipa Americana). It originates from Central and South America, and is used for many purposes by indigenous people, especially for body adornment and its medicinal qualities. Cyann's Jagua gel is made from scratch using the highest quality ingredients, directly imported from South America, so you can be sure that there are no harmful chemicals or impurities that will come in contact with your skin. When applied to the skin, the gel deposits a blue-black stain on your skin lasts 2-3 weeks.

*As my Jagua ink formula contains concentrated fruit substances and essential oils, I would highly recommend booking a patch test if you have a history of allergy to any fruit, or essential oils.

1. Leave the ink on your skin for a minimum of 3 hours, up to 6 hours, as recommended by your artist. The longer the ink is on your skin, the darker the tattoo will stain, but DO NOT SLEEP before washing it off! The lines will become thicker if left on for too long.

2. Wash the ink off completely under running water after leaving it on your skin for 3 to 6 hours.

3. Initially, the stain may look very light or invisible. Do not panic! It will darken in the next 24 to 46 hours.

5. No sunblock or moisturizer over your skin for the next 2 days!

6. Avoid exfoliating or exposing the tattooed area to water in the next 2 weeks to help it last longer! When showering, be gentle!

Notes:

If you accidentally got the ink wet or perspired, and you see that the ink has dissolved, wash the tattoo off as soon as you can to prevent the stain from turning out smudgey, or the lines from bleeding.

Do not leave your ink on overnight unless your artist has recommended you to.
