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).
💪 Upper arm: day 1 to 7 (very dark colour), then day 8 to 14 (colour fading).
✋ Hand: day 1 to 4 (very dark colour), then day 5 to 8 (colour fading).

InkToday ink: how we designed it
We developed our InkToday formula drawing on the natural, ancestral practices of tribes who used plant sap to mark their skin.
Our unique formula lets our INKTODAY tattoos last longer while giving a deeper, blacker colour.
Water-resistant and incredibly realistic, our tattoos offer an authentic, long-lasting experience.

What does a paper plane tattoo with a dotted trail mean?
The paper plane tattoo symbolizes freedom, childhood and the desire for adventure. The dotted trail reinforces this sense of journey: each dot traces a path taken, a memory or a future plan. It is a poetic yet understated motif, chosen by those who want to carry a message without overdoing it.
This minimalist design also appeals for its aesthetics: the contrast between the volume of the plane and the lightness of the dots creates a modern graphic effect, perfect for delicate placements on the wrist, ankle or behind the ear.
How long does this paper plane temporary tattoo last?
The InkToday paper plane temporary tattoo lasts 10 to 14 days on well-prepared skin. Duration varies depending on the placement area (areas with less friction like the collarbone or arm last longer) and daily habits (intense sport, frequent baths).
To maximise wear, avoid applying moisturiser just before application and let it dry completely before getting dressed. After 10 to 14 days, the tattoo fades naturally without leaving a mark.
How do you apply a paper plane temporary tattoo?
Application is designed to take under 30 seconds. Clean and dry the chosen area, place the tattoo printed side down on the skin, press a damp cloth for 30 seconds, then carefully peel away the backing paper. The design stays on the skin, ready to show off.
No special tools are needed: water is all it takes. The 3 x 4.2 cm size is designed to fit most body areas without any particular adjustment.
Frequently asked questions about the paper plane tattoo
Is this tattoo suitable for sensitive skin?
The ink is certified to EU cosmetic standards, dermatologically tested and free from PPD and parabens. It suits most skin types, including sensitive skin. If in doubt, test the tattoo on a small area before full application.
Where should I place a paper plane tattoo for the best result?
The most popular spots are the inner wrist, collarbone, ankle and behind the ear. The 3 x 4.2 cm size fits these discreet placements well. Areas with less friction and water exposure guarantee better longevity for the design.
Is this tattoo water-resistant?
Yes, the ink resists everyday water exposure: showers, handwashing, light rain. Prolonged immersion in a pool or the sea can speed up fading. To keep the design looking its best for longer, avoid scrubbing the area directly with a washcloth.
What is the difference between this tattoo and a permanent tattoo?
A permanent tattoo is injected under the skin with a needle and lasts a lifetime. This InkToday temporary tattoo uses cosmetic ink applied to the surface: it lasts 10 to 14 days, pain-free, with no commitment and no upkeep cost. It is the ideal solution to test a design before getting it permanently tattooed, or to match an outfit.
Does this paper plane tattoo come in other colours?
The version offered here features the dotted trail in a black graphic finish, true to the minimalist aesthetic of the motif. To explore other designs or colours in the travel and freedom universe, browse the full InkToday collection.
Can this temporary tattoo be given as a gift?
Absolutely. This tattoo makes an original and affordable gift for a birthday, a trip departure or a festive occasion. It slips easily into an envelope or gift bag, and will delight anyone drawn to symbols of freedom and adventure.
