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).

Temporary lettering tattoo: test a text design on your skin before committing
A temporary lettering tattoo lets you experience a full script design -- placement, size, visual impact -- for 10 to 14 days, with no needle and no permanent commitment. It has become the go-to tool for validating a text tattoo before booking a studio appointment.
The 1 x 5 cm format of the lettering support tattoo is designed for classic text placements: wrist, collarbone, nape, inner arm, ankle. Application takes 5 minutes (water and gentle pressure), hold time is 10 to 14 days depending on skin area and type, and removal with oil leaves no trace.
What occasions call for a temporary lettering tattoo?
The most common uses are: bachelorette parties and weddings (matching phrases or dates across the bridal party), festivals (visible lettering on the nape or shoulder), gifts for someone hesitating to go permanent, and travel (testing a word in another language before committing). At from €10, it is also an accessible gift -- far from the €60-200 minimum for a permanent studio lettering.
Vegan ink and safety: what regulations say
EU health authorities flag eczema risks from certain temporary tattoo inks and strongly advise against black henna. InkToday lettering tattoos use certified vegan ink, EU-compliant, free from black henna and paraphenylenediamine (PPD). The result: a safe application suitable for most skin types.
FAQ: temporary lettering tattoo
How long does a temporary lettering tattoo last?
Between 10 and 14 days depending on placement and skin type. Low-friction areas (collarbone, nape, upper arm) last longest. Hands and wrists fade faster.
How do you make a temporary lettering tattoo last longer?
Avoid moisturizers and oils on the area. Do not scratch. Apply a transparent spray bandage over it to extend hold. Avoid prolonged soaking in water.
What lettering styles work best for a temporary tattoo?
The most popular are script (elegant calligraphy), minimalist (fine and clean), and gothic (bold and timeless). The 1 x 5 cm format is perfect for short phrases, first names or dates.
Are temporary tattoos safe?
The main risk comes from black henna (PPD), which can trigger severe skin reactions. InkToday tattoos contain none. Certified vegan ink minimises irritation risk for most people.
How do you apply a temporary tattoo yourself?
Moisten skin, press the tattoo face-down on the area, hold a damp sponge over it for 30 seconds, then peel the backing gently. The whole process takes under 5 minutes.
How much does a temporary lettering tattoo cost?
From €10 for a quality temporary lettering tattoo, versus €60-200 for a permanent studio script. The smart way to try before you commit.
Is a temporary lettering tattoo waterproof?
Yes. It holds through showers and light sweating. Avoid prolonged baths and repeated rubbing to maximise wear time.
