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 stem and leaves tattoo: test a botanical design without a needle
The stem with leaves and dotwork line tattoo is one of the most requested botanical motifs in tattoo studios. Its fine lines, minimalist feel and dotwork precision make it a strong choice for the wrist, inner forearm or ankle. But before booking a permanent appointment, many people want to see the design on their actual skin first, in everyday life, under different lighting conditions.
That is exactly what a temporary tattoo is for: wear the design for 10 to 14 days in real conditions, then decide with full confidence.
Where to place this botanical motif?
The 5-leaf stem with dotwork line suits several discreet placements. The compact format (2.2 x 0.6 cm) works well on the inner wrist, inner forearm or above the ankle. These spots are frequently chosen for a first tattoo or as a complement to an existing design.
What occasions suit a botanical temporary tattoo?
Beyond testing before a permanent tattoo, this leaf motif fits several moments: a music festival where you want a botanical look without commitment, a bachelorette party with coordinated tattoos for the group, a trip where you want to try a style you would not wear at home, or a creative gift to slip inside a card.
How do you make a temporary tattoo last?
To extend wear to 14 days: avoid oil-based moisturisers on the area, pat dry after showering rather than rubbing, and apply a transparent liquid bandage spray over the top if the area is subject to friction. The tattoo applies in 5 minutes using a damp sponge.
What is the price of a quality botanical temporary tattoo?The price of a quality leaf stem temporary tattoo ranges from €8 to €15 depending on the format and ink quality. At InkToday, this design starts from €10. That is a fraction of the price of a permanent studio tattoo, typically €60-200 for a motif of this size, with no option to change your mind once it is done.
