What's in the kit?
Every InkToday tattoo ships in its protective sleeve, with an application guide to help you put it on.
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 supplied with your tattoo, or watch our video tutorial here.
Once applied, the ink reacts with the proteins and the keratin in your skin, and darkens within 24 to 36 hours.
Your tattoo then stays visible for 10 to 14 days depending on where you apply it on your body, before fading away naturally.
Colour and appearance
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 the keratin in your skin, and darkens within 24 to 36 hours.
The final result looks like a real tattoo, in a deep blue-black colour.
How long does the tattoo last?
INKTODAY tattoos are designed to fade within 10 to 14 days.
How long they last depends on where you apply them, on your daily activities and on how hydrated your skin is.
The ink fades gradually as your skin renews itself naturally.
Here is an estimate of how long they hold, area by area:
🦵 Leg: day 1 to 5 (very dark colour), then day 6 to 12 (colour fading).
🦶 Foot: day 1 to 8 (very dark colour), then day 9 to 14 (colour fading).
🦵 Knee: day 1 to 6 (very dark colour), then day 7 to 12 (colour fading).
💪 Forearm: day 1 to 6 (very dark colour), then day 7 to 12 (colour fading).
💪 Shoulder: day 1 to 7 (very dark colour), then day 8 to 14 (colour fading).

Temporary dog paw tattoo: test the design before committing for life
The dog paw print is one of the most meaningful tattoo motifs. It symbolises loyalty, unconditional love and the deep bond between a dog and its owner. Whether it is a tribute to a beloved companion, a memento of an adoption, or simply a quiet declaration of love, the paw print speaks to something genuine and universal.
More and more people are choosing to live with a design for a few days before committing to a permanent tattoo. That is exactly what the InkToday temporary dog paw tattoo is for: apply the transfer in five minutes on your wrist, ankle or behind your ear, then observe. Does the placement work for you? Does the motif feel right day after day? The answer after ten to fourteen days is far more reliable than a decision made in front of a tattoo parlour mirror.
Meaning and history of the motif
The dog paw print emerged as a tattoo design in the 2000s, carried by the minimalist tattoo culture. It comes in many forms: graphic silhouette, single-line drawing, paired with a heart or a name, realistic or stylised. In every case, it carries the same intention: keeping your companion close, even after they are gone.
As a temporary tattoo, the design is especially popular as a test before a permanent commitment, as a festive accessory for events (festivals, hen parties, birthdays) or as an original gift for dog lovers.
Recommended placements
The 1.1 x 1.1 cm size of the InkToday tattoo suits discreet and elegant placements:
- Inner wrist: visible daily, easy to show or conceal
- Ankle: very popular, especially in summer with sandals
- Behind the ear: minimalist and modern
- Collarbone: hidden under clothing, revealed with a neckline
- Finger or hand: skin jewellery effect, great for photos
What occasions suit a temporary dog paw tattoo?
This motif fits many occasions. People planning a permanent tattoo use it as a real-life trial. Dog lovers wear it as a quiet tribute. It also makes a great gift for a birthday, Mother's Day, a holiday or a hen party. Some choose two paw prints side by side to mark a bond with another dog lover.
Price and maintenance
The InkToday temporary dog paw tattoo uses ink compliant with EU cosmetic standards. By comparison, a permanent dog paw tattoo costs far more depending on size and artist. The temporary version holds for 10 to 14 days. To extend wear: avoid rubbing with a facecloth, skip heavy moisturisers directly on top, pat dry rather than rub. To remove early, massage oil or a makeup stick works perfectly.

- For a subtle result, the best placements are the inner wrist, ankle, behind the ear or collarbone. The 1.1 x 1.1 cm size of the InkToday tattoo is perfectly suited to these areas. It stays visible day to day but can easily be covered by clothing or accessories when needed.
- How do I remove a temporary tattoo early?
- To remove a temporary tattoo before it fades naturally, apply massage oil, coconut oil or a makeup stick directly onto the design. Leave it for a few seconds, then gently rub with a cotton pad. The tattoo comes off in a few minutes without leaving any marks or irritating the skin.
