How it works
Race-ready in four steps.
EHLStat puts an athlete’s event, heat, lane and stroke right where everyone can read it — waterproof for the meet, removable when it’s over.
Apply the tattoo
Place the EHLStat tattoo on a clean, dry forearm where the swimmer can read it at a glance. It sits on top of the skin, so marker ink never touches skin directly.
Fill in the race info
Write the event, heat, lane and stroke into the printed grid with a permanent marker. The grid follows the USA Swimming four-race standard for 12 & under, with room for relays.
Race with confidence
The tattoo is waterproof and sweat-resistant, so the info stays legible through warm-ups, marshaling and the race itself — no smudging, no guesswork on the blocks.
Remove between sessions
When the session ends, remove the tattoo cleanly with our TatOff© solution (patent pending). No permanent-marker scrawl heading to school the next day, and a fresh start for the next day’s races.
EHLStat vs. marker vs. stickers
How race-info tattoos compare to the two things swimmers reach for today.
| Feature | EHLStat | Permanent marker | Meet stickers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legible race info | Printed grid keeps event/heat/lane/stroke clear | Depends on handwriting — often rushed and hard to read | Pre-printed, but rarely customizable per race |
| Skin comfort | Ink sits on the tattoo, not on skin | Repeated marker on skin can irritate over time | Adhesive on skin; generally fine |
| Waterproof | Yes — built for the pool | Smudges and fades when wet | Varies; many peel when wet |
| Removable & clean | Removes cleanly with TatOff© between sessions | Lingers for days on skin | Peels off, but no residue control |
| Made for every skin tone | Four ink colors engineered to read across skin tones | One color, limited contrast | Fixed design |
