Architexture aims to offer unique, innovative and highly specialized solutions for the Decorative Industry. Tattoowall™ is a patented and certified new technique created for the production of direct and lasting transfers of digital images of elaborate decorations on computer for any surface of any size.  It is not the application of a film or paper, but the direct transfer of color onto a desired surface. An “affresco effect” is derived that does not require any preliminary wall treatment in order to fix the color.  Invented to create murals, Tattoowall™ has been used on a variety of surfaces such as, building plaster, untreated cement and bricks, without size limitations. The versatility of the technique allows for the decoration of highly irregular surfaces with textures of up to 0.2 inches.  Tattoowall™ can also be adapted to suit architectural variations in planes such as domes or corners.
