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 angel tattoo: test the design before committing for life
The angel is one of the most symbolically rich motifs in tattooing. It represents protection, the bridge between heaven and earth, and often a tribute to someone lost. The DNA twist adds a deeper layer: the genetic spiral evokes what constitutes us at the most fundamental level, the invisible bond between people. Together, these two forms create a spiritual and personal angel tattoo at the crossroads of the sacred and the scientific.
This temporary angel tattoo exists in an ephemeral version for a straightforward reason: before walking into a studio, it helps to live with the design. Wearing it on the forearm, neck, or collarbone for ten to fourteen days lets you check whether the size feels right, whether the placement works day to day, and whether the emotional connection holds beyond the first few days.
Where to place a temporary angel tattoo?
The most popular placements for this 10 x 10 cm design: forearm (daily visibility), collarbone (discreet elegance), nape of the neck (graphic impact), shoulder (easy to cover if needed), and inner wrist (always visible). The 10 x 10 cm size works well solo or paired with other spiritual motifs.
Best occasions for a temporary angel tattoo
People reach for a temporary angel tattoo in specific contexts: bachelorette parties with a shared meaningful motif, summer festivals, tributes during a memorial gathering, a Valentine's Day gift for a partner curious about tattooing, or simply testing placement before booking a permanent appointment.
Application and wear time
Application takes five minutes. Dampen the sponge, press the design ink-side against clean dry skin, hold for thirty seconds, peel away the backing. The temporary angel tattoo lasts ten to fourteen days depending on body area and friction levels. Joint areas (wrist, ankle) fade faster than flat surfaces (back, shoulder).
The ink is vegan and compliant with EU cosmetic regulations. No black henna in the formula: black henna contains PPD, a substance responsible for severe skin reactions. InkToday does not use it.
What is the price of a temporary angel tattoo? Prices range from under 3€ for basic small formats to around 20€ for detailed large designs. This InkToday Angel DNA tattoo is priced at 14€ for a 10 x 10 cm premium format. A permanent angel tattoo at a studio starts around 60€ for a small motif and easily exceeds 150-200€ for detailed work.
FAQ
How long does a temporary angel tattoo last?
A temporary angel tattoo typically lasts 10 to 14 days depending on placement and skin type. Areas subject to friction (wrist, ankle) fade a little faster.
Are there risks with temporary tattoos?
Temporary tattoos made with vegan ink compliant with EU standards carry very few risks. The only real danger involves products containing black henna (PPD), which can cause allergic reactions. Always check the ingredient list before purchasing.
What does an angel tattoo mean?
The angel symbolises protection, intercession, and the link between the earthly world and the divine. In tattooing, it most often represents a personal guardian angel, a tribute to someone who has passed, or a spiritual aspiration.
How do you apply a temporary angel tattoo?
Place the motif ink-side down on clean dry skin. Dampen the backing with a wet sponge. Press firmly for 30 seconds. Peel away the paper backing. Allow to air dry.
Why choose an Angel DNA design over a classic angel?
The DNA spiral combined with the angel carries a more intimate symbolism: it evokes genetic bonds, family transmission, and deep identity. This motif suits those wanting an angel tattoo with a personal dimension beyond traditional religious iconography.
Can a temporary angel tattoo be placed anywhere?
Yes, the 10 x 10 cm format fits most body areas: forearm, shoulder, back, collarbone, nape, hip. Avoid highly articulated zones (inner elbow, back of knee) where the motif would fade prematurely.
