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).

InkToday ink: how we designed it
We developed our InkToday formula drawing on the natural, ancestral practices of tribes who used plant sap to mark their skin.
Our unique formula lets our INKTODAY tattoos last longer while giving a deeper, blacker colour.
Water-resistant and incredibly realistic, our tattoos offer an authentic, long-lasting experience.

Temporary shark tattoo: wear the symbol of power with zero commitment
The shark is one of the most powerful motifs in contemporary tattoo culture. In Polynesian mythology, it embodies tenacity, protection and mastery of the seas. A shark tattoo on the arm or shoulder sends a clear message: strength, boldness, connection to the ocean. But choosing a placement and style for life is a decision worth testing properly first.
That is exactly what our large temporary grey shark tattoo (10x5 cm) lets you do: live with the design for 10 to 14 days, on your real skin, in your real life, before booking a permanent appointment.
Where to place a shark tattoo?
The 10x5 cm format works perfectly on several body areas, for both men and women:
- Forearm: the most popular spot for a shark tattoo you see every day
- Shoulder and deltoid: great for a powerful look that reveals itself in summer
- Calf: an original placement, very visible in shorts or a swimsuit
- Chest or ribs: for those who prefer to keep the design more discreet
When to wear it?
The temporary shark tattoo fits many moments: music festivals, a weekend at the beach, bachelorette parties, summer holidays, birthday gift for a diving or surfing fan, or simply as a full-scale test before going permanent.
Ink and safety
Our ink is vegan and compliant with EU cosmetic standards. Zero black henna, zero PPD (paraphenylenediamine), zero risk of serious skin allergy. The European Union banned PPD in skin-contact cosmetic products in 2021: our tattoos meet that regulation.
What is the price? Our temporary shark tattoo starts at 14€. By comparison, a permanent tattoo of equivalent size costs between 60 and 200€ in a studio. That is the price of a trial, not a regret.
Application and care
Apply in 5 minutes on clean dry skin. Place the tattoo printed side down, wet the back with a damp cloth for 30 seconds, then peel away carefully. The design holds 10 to 14 days and is waterproof: shower, pool, sea. To remove it early, baby oil or make-up remover is enough.
