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).

Temporary hibiscus tattoo: try the design before you commit
Hibiscus is one of the most tattooed flowers in the world, its open petals, strong silhouette and cultural symbolism make it a timeless motif. But before inking a hibiscus for life, most people want to actually see how it looks on their skin, in their daily life. That's exactly what InkToday's temporary hibiscus tattoo makes possible.
What does a hibiscus tattoo mean?
In Pacific and Caribbean cultures, the hibiscus embodies beauty, femininity and tropical vitality. Colour fine-tunes the message: red for passion and vital energy, yellow for friendship and joy, white for purity. In Polynesia, the flower worn on the left side signals a committed relationship; on the right, availability. The motif works across genders and styles, from minimal line-work to bold Polynesian graphic compositions.
Where to place a temporary hibiscus tattoo on the arm?
The arm is the most requested placement for a hibiscus temporary tattoo. The forearm (visible, easy to show), the bicep (low-key daily, revealed on demand) and the shoulder (ideal for small formats or leafy compositions) are all great choices. The 5 x 5 cm InkToday sheet fits all these spots. Placing the temporary tattoo first gives you a real answer on size and position before a permanent appointment.
What occasions call for a temporary hibiscus tattoo?
Festivals, hen parties, beach holidays, tropical-themed events, birthday gifts, photo shoots and Hawaiian parties are the top occasions. A hibiscus temporary tattoo also makes a thoughtful last-minute gift for someone who's curious about tattoos but not quite ready to commit. And for those who like to rotate motifs with the seasons, it's an easy way to keep things fresh.
How long does a temporary hibiscus tattoo last?
On most skin types, the tattoo lasts 10 to 14 days under normal conditions. Duration depends on placement (high-friction zones fade faster), skin type and lifestyle habits. The forearm, less exposed to clothing friction than the inner wrist, typically delivers the best longevity. The tattoo fades naturally, leaving no residue, with no need for harsh makeup remover.
Application in 5 minutes
Cut out the design, place it printed-side down on clean skin, press a damp sponge for 30 seconds, peel off the backing. Done. No extra drying time, no fixing spray. The tattoo is immediately waterproof: shower, pool, sea, no problem.
What does a temporary hibiscus tattoo cost?Quality temporary hibiscus tattoos range from around £4 to £15 depending on size and brand. The InkToday "6 hibiscus flowers" sheet starts at £10 for a 5 x 5 cm format with vegan ink included. Compare that to £60-£200 for a permanent hibiscus at a studio, with the full weight of a lifelong decision attached.
Safety and composition
InkToday ink is vegan and compliant with EU cosmetic standards. It contains no black henna or paraphenylenediamine (PPD), the two main sources of allergic reactions flagged in temporary tattoo safety reports. Suitable for sensitive skin. Not recommended on broken skin or if you have a known allergy to cosmetic inks: when in doubt, test on a small area first.
FAQ, Temporary hibiscus tattoo
What is the meaning of a hibiscus tattoo?
The hibiscus symbolises beauty, femininity and tropical vitality in Pacific cultures. Colour shifts the message: red for passion, yellow for friendship, white for purity. In Polynesian tattooing, it often appears within geometric compositions rich with personal identity symbolism.
How long does a temporary tattoo last?
A quality temporary tattoo like InkToday's lasts between 10 and 14 days on most skin types. Duration depends on placement, clothing friction and how often the area contacts water. High-friction zones (inner wrist, neck) fade faster than the forearm or shoulder.
What are the risks of a temporary tattoo?
The main documented risk involves black henna, which contains PPD and can cause eczema or chemical burns. InkToday tattoos contain no black henna or PPD: they are EU cosmetic-compliant and suitable for sensitive skin.
How much does a temporary hibiscus tattoo cost?
Temporary hibiscus tattoos range from £4 to £15 depending on size and brand. InkToday's 6-hibiscus sheet starts at £10, vegan ink and waterproof finish included. That's the cost of a trial run, versus £60-£200 for the permanent, lifelong version.
How do I apply a temporary tattoo?
Cut out the design, press it printed-side down on clean, dry skin, hold a damp sponge over it for 30 seconds, then peel the backing away slowly. Air-dry for a moment. The transfer is immediate and ready to wear.
What does hibiscus symbolise by colour?
Red: passion, intense love, vital energy. Yellow: sincere friendship, joy, light. White: purity, quiet elegance. Pink: admiration, tenderness. Each colour gives the motif a different intention, making it a personalised gift depending on the message you want to send.
Can I put a temporary hibiscus tattoo anywhere on my body?
Yes, except on broken, irritated skin or near mucous membranes. The arm (forearm, bicep, shoulder) is the most popular placement for this motif. The ankle, nape of the neck and collarbone are also common spots. Avoid high-friction zones if you want to maximise wear time.
