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 sleeve tattoo for arm: test the angel & knight look before committing for life
A sleeve tattoo is one of the most visually powerful choices you can make, and one of the most permanent. It covers the entire arm and requires dozens of hours of professional sessions. Before taking that step, many people want to see exactly how it looks on their own skin. A temporary arm sleeve tattoo makes that possible: a full-scale test drive, with zero commitment.
Symbolism: the guardian angel and the knight
In tattoo tradition, the angel represents protection, the mediator between heaven and earth, and benevolent strength. The knight, or warrior, stands for courage, discipline and self-mastery. Together on a full sleeve, these two figures create a powerful duality: grace and strength, the spiritual and the combative. It is a design chosen by people who want to express both sensitivity and determination.
Where to place a temporary sleeve?
The 17 x 49 cm format is designed for a classic sleeve placement: mid-arm to wrist, covering both the forearm and upper arm. It also works on the full leg for an alternative full-sleeve look. Most popular placements:
- Full forearm: elbow to wrist, visible at all times
- Full arm: shoulder to wrist, the traditional sleeve effect
- Full leg: knee to ankle, ideal for summer festivals
What occasions call for a temporary sleeve tattoo?
This temporary sleeve is especially well suited for:
- Music festival or street art event: the visual impact of a sleeve without the permanence
- Hen party or costume night: a bold, cohesive look for the whole group
- Beach holiday: waterproof, survives salt water and pools
- Photo shoot or cosplay: the angel and knight design fits many creative universes
- Original gift: for a tattoo enthusiast who hasn't taken the plunge yet
- Test before permanent: the number one reason, wear the design for 10 to 14 days before booking a tattoo appointment
How to apply and care for your temporary sleeve
Application takes under 5 minutes. Moisten the skin, press the sheet printed side down against the skin, hold a damp sponge on it for 30 seconds, then gently peel off the backing. The tattoo lasts 10 to 14 days depending on skin type and activity level. To make it last longer, avoid rubbing, oils and exfoliants on the tattooed area. To remove it early, apply baby oil or olive oil to the area.
Is it safe? EU-compliant inks
InkToday inks comply with current European cosmetic standards. They contain no black henna (PPD), the substance identified as the primary cause of allergic reactions to temporary tattoos (Source: French DGCCRF). Pigments are vegan and biodegradable. If you have sensitive skin, test on a 2 cm² area 24 hours before full application.
