Ready-Made vs Custom Tattoos: Which Inkhub Option Is Right for You?
Introduction
You want a semi-permanent tattoo, but you’re stuck between “Should I pick a ready-made design?” and “Should I go full creative genius and make my own?” Don’t worry — it happens to the best of us. It’s like choosing between ordering a pizza or making one at home. Both are great, but totally different vibes.
In this blog, let’s break down the difference between Inkhub’s ready-made tattoos and custom tattoos — because why not.
What Are Ready-Made Tattoos?
Ready-made tattoos are the beautifully curated, pre-designed tattoos you see on Inkhub website. Think minimal line art, butterflies, zodiac signs, floral designs, spiritual symbols, trending Pinterest-style pieces — all made by our talented in-house artists who have officially lost count of how many designs they’ve drawn.
They’re skin-safe, dermatologist-approved, and tested on Indian skin tones. Basically: pick, apply, slay.
Why Choose Ready-Made Tattoos?
1. You Want Something Quick and Easy
No overthinking. No “should I add this?” or “should I move that line?” Just pick what looks good and move on with life. Perfect for people who don't want to argue with themselves for two days over a 2-inch tattoo.
2. You Want Trendy, Aesthetic Designs
If you want tattoos that look straight out of Pinterest or an artsy Instagram feed, ready-made is your zone. These are designed keeping in mind what people actually like — not what your one over-creative friend thinks you “should” get.
3. You Want a Safe First Experience
First time with Inkhub? Start here. It’s simple, safe, and you’ll instantly understand how our dermatologist-approved formula develops on your skin.
4. Budget-Friendly
Let’s be honest: ready-made tattoos are the “paisa vasool” option. You get great designs at a more affordable price.
What Are Custom Tattoos?
Custom tattoos are where the real magic happens. This is YOU creating a tattoo exactly how YOU want it. Whether it's a name, handwriting, date, quote, logo, symbol, cute doodle, or even a fully functional QR code — you imagine it, we convert it into a skin-safe tattoo.
Custom tattoos at Inkhub are basically the VIP experience. No queues, no compromises, and definitely no design judgement (well… maybe a little, politely).

Why Choose Custom Tattoos? (Here comes the fun part)
1. You Want Something Personal
Names, dates, coordinates, relationship tattoos, inside jokes — custom tattoos are built for emotions. Whether the emotion is “deep love” or “my friend forced me,” we don’t judge.
2. Perfect for Couples, Best Friends & Weddings
Custom tattoos shine the brightest in celebrations. Pre-wedding photoshoots? Matching couple designs? Bridesmaid squad tattoos? Bachelor party chaos? We’ve seen it all.
And yes, we’ve also made QR code tattoos for weddings so people can scan and pay “juta churai ke paise” during the ceremony. Peak Indian culture. We salute it.
3. You Want to Test a Permanent Tattoo First
We see you — the people who desperately want a permanent tattoo but are also equally scared of regretting it in two weeks. (You are valid.)
Custom tattoos let you check:
- Does this design actually look good on my body?
- Is this the right size?
- Will I still like it after staring at it for 7 days?
- Will I get bored? (Very important.)
It’s basically a trial run for the commitment-phobic generation. We love it.
4. You Want Functional Tattoos (Yes, They Actually Work)
This is where custom tattoos get wild. People order:
- GPay/UPI tattoos (for pranks, for fun, or for emotional damage during weddings)
- Spotify code tattoos for their favourite song
- Instagram handle tattoos for creators
- YouTube link tattoos for artists
- Event QR codes
And the best part? They scan and work in real life. Yes — even on darker skin tones. Yes — even in Indian lighting conditions. We tested them. A lot.
So if you want a tattoo that says “Scan this for a surprise,” “Pay here,” or “Play our song,” custom is your playground.

What About Safety?
Both ready-made and custom tattoos use the same skin-safe formula that’s dermatologist-approved and suitable for all Indian skin tones. Each pack includes a patch test because safety comes before swag (but barely).
Longevity: Do They Last the Same?
Yes. Both last 7–15 days depending on your placement, daily routine, and whether you are that person who washes hands 32 times a day.
Pro tip: arms, shoulders, chest = longer life. Hands = fast fade.
Which One Should You Choose?
Choose Ready-Made If:
- You want quick, beautiful, stress-free designs
- You like following trends
- You want something affordable
- You’re trying Inkhub for the first time
Choose Custom If:
- You want to express something meaningful or personal
- You need a design for an event, shoot, or celebration
- You want to test a permanent tattoo before committing
- You want working QR codes or unique illustrations
- You enjoy the luxury of saying “This is custom-made for me.”
Final Thoughts
Ready-made tattoos are like stylish outfits you pick off the rack. Custom tattoos are tailored suits — made just for you.
Either way, with Inkhub, you get safe, long-lasting, realistic tattoos that look incredible and fade naturally.
So choose your mood: quick aesthetic or fully customized drama. We’ve got your skin covered — literally.
