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 Saint Michael tattoo: wear the warrior archangel without a needle
The Saint Michael archangel tattoo is one of the most symbolically loaded motifs in body art. Divine protector, general of the celestial army, slayer of the dragon: wearing his image signals moral strength, courage and victory over evil. But a permanent tattoo means 60 to 200€, real pain and a lifelong commitment. The temporary Saint Michael tattoo solves the equation: same design, same symbolism, price from 10€, no needle.
This 5 x 5 cm design reproduces the classic representation of the archangel in his role as celestial warrior. It applies in 5 minutes with a damp sponge on the arm, shoulder, back, neck or calf. It lasts 10 to 14 days, resists water, shower and sweat. The ink is vegan, free of black henna, compliant with European Union cosmetic standards.
Where to place a temporary Saint Michael tattoo?
The shoulder and upper arm are the most popular placements for this motif, in keeping with its protective symbolism. The back allows a larger effect if you combine several stickers. The neck and calf also work well for a 5 x 5 cm format.
Who is it for and what occasions?
This temporary Saint Michael tattoo suits anyone who wants to test the design before visiting a studio, prepare for a festival or trip with a bold look, give an original spiritual gift, or simply wear the archangel's symbolism daily without permanence. It is particularly valued by members of the armed and security forces for whom Saint Michael is a tutelary symbol.
