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).

Temporary lotus flower tattoo: meaning, placements and occasions
The lotus flower is one of the most meaningful tattoo motifs in the world. Born in mud, it rises through water and blooms immaculate at the surface: a universal metaphor for resilience, purity and personal transformation. In Hindu and Buddhist traditions, the lotus symbolises spiritual awakening and rebirth. Wearing this motif is a statement of the ability to grow through adversity.
Before committing this symbol to a permanent tattoo, a temporary lotus flower tattoo lets you test the exact placement and size on your real skin for 10 to 14 days, in your daily life. The wrist, sternum, nape of the neck and shoulder blade are the most popular placements for this motif, each carrying a different message.
This temporary lotus tattoo (2.9 x 2.9 cm) applies in 5 minutes on clean, dry skin. The ink is plant-based, EU-compliant, free from black henna, and dermatologically tested. It is waterproof and sweat-resistant. Price: from €10, compared to €60-200 for a permanent tattoo at a professional studio.
Ideal occasions for this motif: bachelorette weekends, travel to Southeast Asia, festivals, yoga retreats, weddings, or any moment of personal transition where you want to carry this symbol without a lifelong commitment.
