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).

Temporary butterfly tattoo: test a 5-butterfly flight design before committing for life
The butterfly tattoo is one of the most requested designs worldwide, and for good reason. Five butterflies in full flight evoke freedom, lightness and personal transformation. Before booking a studio appointment, many people want to see exactly how the design looks on their skin, at a specific placement, over several days of real life. That is exactly what this InkToday temporary butterfly tattoo offers: a full test-drive, no needles, no regrets.
Design meaning: why a butterfly flight carries such impact
The butterfly is a universal symbol of metamorphosis and renewal. A flight of five butterflies amplifies this message: movement, plurality, the idea that every stage of life takes flight in its own time. The design speaks equally to those going through a significant change and to those who simply want something beautiful on their skin for the summer.
Where to place a temporary butterfly tattoo
The 5.2 x 5.2 cm format fits many placements naturally:
- Shoulder: classic and visible in a tank top, perfect for summer and festivals.
- Nape of the neck: subtle day-to-day, revealed when you put your hair up.
- Forearm: highly visible, ideal for testing whether you are comfortable with the attention.
- Ankle or lower back: feminine placements that stand out in summer or at hen parties.
- Collarbone: elegant, visible in a dress or camisole.
What occasions is this butterfly tattoo designed for?
This flight design fits any occasion where you want effortless temporary style. Hen parties love matching temporary tattoos for the whole group. Summer festivals are a perfect moment to wear a bold visible design. Beach holidays and travel are also ideal: the tattoo is waterproof and sweat-resistant. As a gift, it is an original idea for a friend, a teenager or a mum who wants to try it risk-free.
How to apply this temporary butterfly tattoo
Application takes less than 5 minutes. Clean and dry the chosen area of skin. Remove the protective film, place the tattoo ink-side down against the skin, press with a damp cloth for 30 seconds, then gently peel away the paper. The design lasts 10 to 14 days. To extend its life, avoid repeated friction and oils on the area. To remove it, a little baby oil or nail polish remover is all you need.
Care and longevity
The tattoo is water-resistant (pool, sea, shower) and holds up to moderate perspiration. Mechanical friction such as watches, bracelets or tight clothing will speed up fading. Avoid oily products on the area throughout the wear period. Applied to well-moisturised, clean skin, the finish is sharper and the hold longer.
What does a temporary butterfly tattoo cost?This temporary butterfly tattoo starts from €13. By comparison, a professional butterfly tattoo at a studio costs between €60 and €200 depending on size and location, and it is permanent. The price of a temporary tattoo is the cost of a risk-free trial, not a lifelong decision. It is also a way to test several placements before choosing the right one for a potential permanent tattoo.
