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 hummingbird tattoo in flight: test before you commit
The hummingbird in flight is one of the most requested tattoo motifs across Europe. Its delicate silhouette, outstretched wings and layered symbolism (freedom, resilience, joy) make it a perennial choice for first-timers and seasoned collectors alike.
A temporary hummingbird tattoo answers one very practical question: does this motif and placement actually work on my body? A permanent hummingbird at 5x5 cm costs between 60 and 200€ at a reputable studio. The InkToday temporary version starts at 10€ for the same 5x5 cm format, applied in 5 minutes and lasting 10 to 14 days.
Hummingbird tattoo meaning
The hummingbird carries rich symbolism across cultures. In Central American traditions it is a joyful messenger of the gods. In indigenous North American lore it represents healing and renewal. In contemporary tattoo culture, the hummingbird in flight stands for:
- Freedom of movement and independence
- Resilience (hummingbirds beat their wings up to 80 times per second)
- Joy and lightness
- Elegance, especially in fine line styles
Best placements for a hummingbird tattoo
The 5x5 cm InkToday format fits the most popular placements perfectly:
- Wrist and forearm: maximum visibility, moderate pain for a permanent
- Shoulder blade: strong graphic impact, easy to conceal
- Ankle: elegant, perfect for a bird in flight
- Neck and nape: high visual impact, definitely worth testing in temporary first
When to wear a temporary hummingbird tattoo
Popular for bachelorette parties, summer festivals, travel to Latin America or the Caribbean where the hummingbird holds deep cultural meaning, and as a creative gift for someone on the fence about going permanent.
The price of an InkToday temporary hummingbird tattoo starts at 10€ for the 5x5 cm format, versus 60 to 200€ for a studio permanent. The smartest way to validate your choice before you commit.
