Custom Temporary Tattoos
Try your tattoo idea on your skin for 10-14 days before the needle. Your design or photo, from 1 piece.
How it works
- Upload your design or photo (PNG, JPG or PDF).
- Pick the size and quantity, from 1 piece.
- Apply it in about 5 minutes: it darkens in 24 to 36 hours and lasts 10 to 14 days.
InkToday prints your own design as a semi-permanent tattoo that looks real and lasts 10 to 14 days, with no minimum order.
Think custom temporary tattoos are glossy stickers that peel off in 3 days? Not these. Ours have the matte look of real ink, survive showers and workouts for 10 to 14 days, then fade on their own. The easiest way to test size, placement and style before you pay a tattoo artist.

Frequently asked questions
Can you get temporary tattoos custom made?

How much does a custom temporary tattoo cost?
The price per piece drops as the quantity goes up. See the prices above, shown in your currency.
Can I design my own fake tattoo?

How can I convert an image to a temporary tattoo?
Upload a PNG, JPG or PDF of at least 100 x 100 px. A black design on a white background works best. Our team resizes it to fit the size you choose.
How long do custom semi-permanent tattoos last?
10 to 14 days depending on the area (7 to 10 on fingers and hands). The colour darkens over 24 to 36 hours, then fades on its own. More in our custom semi-permanent tattoo guide.
What is the best website for custom temporary tattoos?

No. You can order a single custom tattoo, from 1 piece.
Which file should I send for my custom tattoo?
To get the best possible quality for your custom tattoo, please send us:
- a PDF, PNG or JPG file
- at least 100 x 100 pixels
- in solid black (monochrome)
Our design team will resize your file so it fills as much of the chosen patch as possible.
What's in the kit?
Each InkToday tattoo comes in its protective sleeve with an application guide to help you apply it.
How do I apply my tattoo?
Our tattoos are painless and very easy to apply yourself – it only takes a few simple steps.
Follow the application guide included with your tattoo or watch our video tutorial here.
Once applied, the ink reacts with the proteins and keratin of your skin and darkens within 24 to 36 hours.
Your tattoo then stays visible for 10 to 14 days (7 to 10 on fingers and hands), depending on where you apply it on your body, before fading away naturally.
Colour and look: what to expect?
Unlike most temporary tattoos, INKTODAY ink bonds to the surface of your skin instead of simply sitting on top of it.
Once applied, the ink reacts with the proteins and keratin of your skin and darkens within 24 to 36 hours.
The final result looks like a real tattoo, in a dark blue / black colour.
How long does the tattoo last?
INKTODAY tattoos last 10 to 14 days (7 to 10 on fingers and hands).
How long they last depends on where you apply them, your daily activities and how hydrated your skin is.
The ink fades gradually as your skin naturally renews itself.
Here is an estimate of how long they last by area:
Leg: day 1 to 5 (very dark colour), then day 6 to 12 (fading colour).
Foot: day 1 to 8 (very dark colour), then day 9 to 14 (fading colour).
Knee: day 1 to 6 (very dark colour), then day 7 to 12 (fading colour).
Forearm: day 1 to 6 (very dark colour), then day 7 to 12 (fading colour).
Shoulder: day 1 to 7 (very dark colour), then day 8 to 14 (fading colour).
Upper arm: day 1 to 7 (very dark colour), then day 8 to 14 (fading colour).
Hand: day 1 to 4 (very dark colour), then day 5 to 8 (fading colour).
InkToday ink: how we designed it
We developed our InkToday formula to meet current cosmetic standards, drawing on the natural, ancestral practices of tribes who used plant sap to mark their skin.
Our unique formula lets INKTODAY tattoos last longer while giving a deeper, blacker colour than other temporary options.
Waterproof and incredibly realistic, our tattoos offer an authentic, long-lasting experience.
