London Biotech Debuts Permanent Stick-On Tattoos, Eyes Mail-Order Future

London-based CipherX is marketing permanent stick-on tattoos that use its MicroDot microneedle tech to deposit pigment under the skin via a 15-minute in-person application. Available designs are simple black geometric patterns, with color limited to black, and age verification (18+) is required; for now tattoos are applied in store or at events, with home-kit/mail-order aims planned but not yet shipping. The concept envisions skin-based interfaces with sensing and haptic feedback, but safety and access concerns linger and it’s unlikely to replace traditional tattooing anytime soon.

Painless ink on demand: CipherX’s Microdot patches tattoo the skin

CipherX unveiled disposable Microdot patches that deposit pigment into the skin using microscopic needles, offering a quiet, pain-free alternative to traditional tattooing. A Verge tester had a small Bold Sparkle design applied in seconds with 112 microneedles, and there was no bleeding or healing time, though the tattoo appears as a field of dots that darken over about two days. Designs are currently limited (around 15 options, up to 15 mm, black ink), but future colors, larger sizes, and DIY home kits are in development, with patches and kits expected to ship to customers later; price at pop-ups in London is around £50.

CipherX unveils pain-free microdot tattoos with dissolvable microneedle patches

London biotech startup CipherX has launched microdot tattoos created with dissolvable ink-based microneedles delivered via a patch, enabling a pain-free 15-minute application that leaves a permanent tattoo. The company says the result is the same as a traditional tattoo, but without needles, and notes it isn’t aiming to replace tattoo artists; designs are currently limited and expansion is planned, with exploration of medical applications supported by Innovate UK grants.
