The noink attribute in Polymer disables the ripple effect that you see on click.

This isn’t unique to <paper-items>, but rather can be applied to any Polymer elements:

<paper-button noink>No Ink<paper-button>
<paper-tabs noink>No Ink<paper-tabs>

Note that the ="true" is not necessary; simply providing the attribute will make it true by default.
