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 tribal tattoo: test an ancestral symbol with zero commitment
Tribal tattoos are among the most searched styles in Europe. Their high-contrast geometric black lines, rooted in Maori, Polynesian and Celtic traditions, create an immediate visual impact. But committing permanently to such a bold design is a decision worth thinking through.
The tribal spirit temporary tattoo answers exactly that need: wear the symbol for 10 to 14 days on real skin, in real conditions (sport, sea, daily life), before booking a studio appointment or simply enjoying the look without the permanence. Price from €13 versus €60 to €200 for a permanent tattoo.
Where to place a tribal temporary tattoo?
The shoulder, forearm, sternum and nape of the neck are the most popular placements for a 5.2 x 5.2 cm tribal design. The format is calibrated to fill the space without overwhelming it, and looks particularly striking on the shoulder or shoulder blade.
Best occasions to wear it
Festival, bachelorette weekend, trip to Polynesia or Southeast Asia, photo shoot, bohemian wedding, original gift for someone considering a permanent tattoo: the tribal temporary adapts to all these situations. It is also widely used to validate placement before a permanent appointment.
Safety and composition
The ink is vegan and complies with current European standards. Zero black henna (known for allergy risks). Application takes 5 minutes with a damp sponge, and the tattoo lasts 10 to 14 days depending on the body zone and skin hydration.
FAQ temporary tribal tattoo
How long does a temporary tribal tattoo last?
Between 10 and 14 days depending on placement and skin preparation. Low-friction zones (shoulder, back, sternum) last the longest.
Is a temporary tribal tattoo safe?
Yes, as long as you choose a vegan-certified ink compliant with EU standards. This product contains no black henna, which causes the majority of allergic reactions to cheap temporary tattoos.
How do you apply a temporary tribal tattoo?
Clean and dry the area, place the sheet printed-side down on the skin, press a damp sponge for 30 seconds, then gently peel off the backing. The design appears instantly.
Can you shower with a temporary tribal tattoo?
Yes. The tattoo is waterproof and withstands daily showers. Avoid scrubbing directly on it with a washcloth to extend wear time.
What does a tribal spirit symbol mean?
In many ancestral cultures, the tribal spirit symbol represents the connection between the material and spiritual worlds, protection and the transmission of vital forces. Each wearer brings their own meaning to it.
Does a temporary tribal tattoo work on all skin types?
It works on normal, dry and combination skin. On very oily or heavily moisturized skin, skip the body lotion before applying for better adhesion.
Can I use a temporary tribal tattoo before getting a permanent one?
It is actually recommended. Many tattoo artists encourage clients to test placement and size with a temporary before confirming a permanent appointment.
