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 lotus flower tattoo: test the design on your arm before committing forever
The lotus flower is one of the most searched tattoo designs in France and across Europe. A symbol of purity, rebirth and spiritual awakening rooted in Buddhist and Hindu traditions, the lotus emerges from murky water to bloom immaculate in the light. That metaphor for resilience resonates deeply. But before etching this symbol permanently into your skin, the real question is: is this the right placement? The right size? The right style?
This temporary lotus flower tattoo with long-line design answers exactly that question. It faithfully replicates the look of a real black-ink tattoo in a sleeve-style format measuring 13.2 x 4.8 cm, designed for the arm. Wear it on your wrist, forearm or upper arm for 10 to 14 days, then decide with full confidence.
Meaning of the lotus flower tattoo
In Buddhism, the lotus symbolises purity and the soul rising above adversity, as embodied by the Buddha himself. In Hinduism, it is an attribute of Vishnu and an emblem of spiritual blossoming (Source: Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, France). As a tattoo, it expresses the strength to transform despite hardship, inner beauty and spiritual growth. The elongated linework in this design adds a clean, contemporary dimension, aligned with linework and geometric tattoo styles.
Where to place a lotus flower tattoo on the arm?
The arm is one of the most popular placements for the lotus flower. The 13.2 x 4.8 cm format of this temporary tattoo is specifically designed for this area. Three placements work particularly well:
- Wrist: visible every day, discreet and elegant
- Inner forearm: sleeve effect, ideal for showing off the long-line design
- Upper arm: more graphic, perfect for summer looks and festivals
Other classic placements include the back, nape of the neck, sternum and feet. The elongated format also adapts well to the ankle or collarbone.
For which occasions should you wear this temporary lotus tattoo?
This temporary tattoo fits naturally into many life moments:
- A festival or concert: waterproof, sweat-resistant, it holds up in heat and movement
- A hen party: a meaningful motif, perfect for a group sharing temporary tattoos for the weekend
- A beach holiday: water-resistant, it stays intact even after swimming
- Testing before a permanent tattoo: the primary use, living with the design for 10 to 14 days to validate placement and style before a lifetime commitment
- A gift: the lotus is a universal motif, rich in meaning, suitable for any occasion
How to apply and care for this temporary tattoo?
Application takes 5 minutes. Clean and dry the chosen area of skin. Remove the protective film, place the tattoo face down on the skin, press a damp sponge for 30 seconds, then carefully peel away the backing. The tattoo is waterproof once dry. To extend its lifespan, avoid scrubbing the area with soap or a flannel. To remove it early, coconut oil or an oil-based makeup remover is sufficient.
What does a temporary lotus flower tattoo cost?
Market prices range from €2.50 for a minimalist stencil to €17.90 for large-format designs from specialist brands. This temporary lotus flower tattoo with long-line design is priced at €14 for a sleeve-format 13.2 x 4.8 cm piece, positioning it in the premium segment of quality temporary tattoos. Compared to a permanent tattoo from a reputable artist (€60 to €200 minimum), this is the price of a trial, not a regret.
