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 butterfly tattoo: test the design before committing for life
The butterfly is one of the most popular tattoo designs worldwide. It symbolises transformation, freedom and renewal. Before sitting in a tattoo chair, a growing number of people choose a temporary butterfly tattoo to test the placement, the look and how it fits their everyday style.
This ephemeral tattoo features two butterflies in flight, captured in a moment of lightness. The compact 3.5 x 3.5 cm format is versatile: discreet on the wrist, elegant on the shoulder, graphic on the nape or ankle. The wing details deliver a realistic finish that lasts 10 to 14 days with minimal care.
What does a butterfly tattoo mean?
Across almost every culture, the butterfly represents metamorphosis and rebirth. It is often chosen to mark a turning point in life, a personal transformation, or simply to express a free spirit and a sense of lightness. It is one of the most symbolically rich motifs, which explains its enduring popularity.
Where to place a temporary butterfly tattoo?
The most popular placements for a butterfly design are the wrist, forearm, shoulder, collarbone, nape and ankle. This 3.5 x 3.5 cm format suits all of these spots. For special occasions such as a festival, bachelorette party or holiday, the collarbone and shoulder offer a particularly flattering result.
What is the price of a temporary butterfly tattoo?
The price of a temporary butterfly tattoo varies depending on size and ink quality. See the price of this design on this page. By comparison, a permanent butterfly tattoo at a professional studio costs far more, and it is there for life. The temporary version lets you test the design and placement for a fraction of the cost, with zero commitment.
Care and wear time
To maximise wear time (10 to 14 days), avoid rubbing the area when washing, do not apply moisturiser directly over the tattoo, and limit prolonged exposure to water. The ink is vegan, free from black henna and PPD, and compliant with EU cosmetic regulations. To remove, baby oil or acetone-free nail polish remover works perfectly.
FAQ

How long does a temporary tattoo last?
A quality temporary tattoo lasts between 10 and 14 days depending on body placement, skin type and aftercare. Areas with less friction, such as the collarbone or shoulder, tend to last the longest.
Is a temporary butterfly tattoo safe?
This tattoo uses vegan ink with no black henna or PPD, compliant with EU cosmetic standards. There are no known allergy risks with this formulation, unlike cheaper black henna products sold at markets and tourist spots.
Can I use a temporary butterfly tattoo for a festival or bachelorette?
Absolutely. Application takes 5 minutes, the result is immediate and waterproof. The tattoo holds throughout the event and beyond, with no constraints.
How do I remove a temporary tattoo?
Apply baby oil or acetone-free nail polish remover to the area, let it sit for 30 seconds, then gently rub with a cotton pad. The tattoo lifts off without irritation or residue.
What is the difference between a temporary tattoo and a permanent one?
A permanent tattoo involves injecting ink into the dermis with a needle. A temporary tattoo sits on the surface of the skin and fades naturally over 10 to 14 days. No needle, no pain, no lifelong commitment.
