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).

What does the One Life tattoo mean?
The "One Life" tattoo carries a clear message: you only get one shot at life. Wearing this script on your skin is a daily choice to focus on the present, take bold decisions and live without regrets. It is one of the most popular quote tattoos in France, especially worn on the wrist and finger.
This phrase resonates across generations because it says everything with just two words. It is also why so many people start with a temporary version before committing to permanent ink.
One Life tattoo on the wrist or finger: which placement to choose?
The wrist is the favourite placement for One Life script tattoos. Visible every day without being flashy, it keeps the reminder in sight whenever you check your watch or phone. The finger offers an even more subtle, minimalist look that performs well on social media.
At 2 x 4.4 cm, the InkToday temporary tattoo fits both placements perfectly. You can test each spot for 10 to 14 days before deciding which one truly suits you.
Temporary or permanent One Life tattoo: how to choose?
A permanent tattoo costs dozens of euros at minimum and requires long reflection. A temporary One Life tattoo lets you live with this script for two weeks, see how people around you react and confirm the ideal placement, with zero risk. It is the perfect test-drive before a lifetime decision.
Many people use the temporary tattoo as a validation step. Others simply enjoy changing their look with the seasons.
