InkToday 2 week temporary tattoos look like real ink and last 10–14 days (7–10 on fingers). Plant-based vegan ink, no needle, on in about 5 minutes: wear the design for two weeks before you commit to the real one.
A temporary tattoo is a non-permanent tattoo applied without a needle, using a damp cloth to transfer the design onto your skin. The plant-based, vegan ink gives a look close to a real permanent tattoo. It lasts 10 to 14 days depending on placement. No pain, no appointment, no commitment.
Many people know this kind of design as semi-permanent tattoos: it is the same idea, and our semi-permanent tattoos page explains how the ink works.
How do you apply a temporary tattoo?
Clean and dry the area well. Place the tattoo face down on your skin, press a damp cloth firmly on it for 30 seconds, then peel the paper off gently. It takes about 5 minutes. Wait 24 hours before your first shower so it lasts longer. The full method is on our how to apply your tattoo page.
How long it lasts by placement
Back, thigh, shoulder: the full 10 to 14 days. Arm, forearm, ankle: close to that range. Wrist, fingers, feet: shorter, because these areas rub and get washed more. To make it last: keep oily products off the area, don't rub it with your towel, and avoid long baths.
Try Your Real Tattoo First
Thinking about a real tattoo but not sure yet? Wear the design for two weeks first. Put it exactly where you want the real one and live with it: at work, at the gym, in the mirror every morning.
The ink develops on the surface of the skin over 24 to 36 hours into a matte finish that looks like real ink, and it costs a fraction of a tattoo session. Still in love after two weeks? Book your artist. Changed your mind? It fades on its own.
It works the other way too: if you like to switch styles often, wear a new design every two weeks. Browse our fake tattoos, or read our guide on how to try a tattoo before you get it.
1-Month or 6-Month Temporary Tattoos: Do They Exist?
Searches for 6 month temporary tattoo or 1 month temporary tattoo point to different techniques. No needle-free tattoo lasts for months. Anything sold as "1 month" or "6 months" involves a professional injecting ink into the dermis with a needle. InkToday temporary tattoos are needle-free: they last 10 to 14 days and come off with oil.

Temporary Tattoos for Every Occasion
One design, one occasion, two weeks of wear. Here is what to pick for a face look, a wedding or a tight budget, and how to get started.
Can you wear a temporary tattoo on your face?
Yes. Small, fine designs work best on the cheek, temple or behind the ear. Apply on clean skin with no makeup underneath and let the ink dry before touching it. To take it off, use micellar water instead of rubbing. See our face temporary tattoos.
Are temporary tattoos good for a wedding or a bachelorette party?
Yes. Matching designs for the bride's crew, initials or a small symbol for the day itself. The ink stays 10 to 14 days, so it is still there for the photos and the honeymoon. Browse our wedding and bachelorette tattoos.
Where can I find cheap temporary tattoos that still look real?
Cheap sticker tattoos look shiny and fade in a couple of days. For the best value, pick a design that lasts 10 to 14 days, or a pack of several designs to share or swap.
Do you have black temporary tattoos?
Yes. Every InkToday design develops into a deep black, matte finish within 24 to 36 hours, like fresh real ink. It looks lighter right after you apply it: that is normal.
How do you get a temporary tattoo?
Pick a design, cut it out, peel off the clear film and place it inked side down on clean, dry skin. Hold a damp cloth on it for 20 to 30 seconds, peel the paper off and let it air-dry for 10 to 15 minutes. All steps are in our application guide.
What is the best temporary tattoo shop online?
Look for three things: designs that last more than a few days, a matte finish that reads as real ink, and clear application and removal steps. InkToday designs last 10 to 14 days, develop into a deep black and come off with oil whenever you want.
Temporary Tattoo Stickers or Plant-Based Ink: What Is the Difference?
A temporary tattoo sticker is a printed decal: you slide it onto the skin with water and the design sits on top. It is quick and fun, and it usually lasts a few days. InkToday works differently: our plant-based vegan ink darkens in the outer layer of the skin over 24 to 36 hours, dries matte and lasts 10 to 14 days.
Are temporary tattoo stickers the same as InkToday tattoos?
No. Both go on with water, but a sticker prints the color on top of the skin, so it looks shiny and fades within a few days. InkToday ink develops in the outer layer of the skin, turns a deep black within 24 to 36 hours and stays 10 to 14 days.
InkToday makes plant-based semi-permanent temporary tattoos that develop on the skin over 24–36 hours, look like real ink and last 10–14 days; designs are delivered across the UK.
What is a temporary tattoo?
A temporary tattoo is a non-permanent design applied without a needle, using a damp-cloth transfer. The plant-based, vegan ink colors the top layer of the skin for a look close to a real tattoo. It lasts 10 to 14 days.
How long does a temporary tattoo last?
10 to 14 days, depending on placement and your routine. Low-friction areas get the full 14 days. High-friction areas (wrist, fingers) fade sooner.
Do 2 week tattoos really last 2 weeks?
Yes. InkToday 2 week tattoos last 10–14 days (7–10 on fingers). Keep oils, scrubs and rubbing off the design to get the full two weeks.
How do you apply a temporary tattoo?
Clean, dry skin. Design face down. Damp cloth for 30 seconds. Peel the paper off gently. About 5 minutes in all. Wait 24 hours before your first shower.
How do you remove a temporary tattoo?
Olive or coconut oil, 2 to 3 minutes, a cotton pad. Or tape. Left alone, it fades naturally in 10 to 14 days.
How much does a temporary tattoo cost?
It depends on the size and the design. Each product page shows the price in your local currency.
Does a temporary tattoo hurt?
No. It goes on with a damp-cloth transfer, no needle. It's painless going on, while you wear it and when you take it off.
Is a temporary tattoo waterproof?
Yes. After 24 hours, it holds up to showers and light workouts. Avoid long soaks (pool, bath), which make it fade faster.
Is there a temporary tattoo that lasts 1 month?
No. Anything sold as "1 month" involves a professional injecting ink with a needle. InkToday needle-free temporary tattoos last 10 to 14 days.
What are the risks of a temporary tattoo?
InkToday ink is plant-based and vegan, with no black henna and no PPD. If your skin reacts easily, test a small area first. Avoid market or beach tattoos when you don't know what's in them.
Is a fake tattoo the same as a temporary tattoo?
Yes. Both terms describe the same thing: a non-permanent, needle-free tattoo that lasts 10 to 14 days. People use them interchangeably, and InkToday designs fit both.
Is there a fake tattoo that lasts 2 weeks?
Yes. InkToday fake tattoos use plant-based ink that develops on the skin over 24–36 hours and lasts 10–14 days (7–10 on fingers).
Temporary or semi-permanent: is it the same thing?
For us, yes. Both words describe the same product: an ink that sits in the dead outer layer of the skin and wears off with it. "Temporary" is the everyday word; "semi-permanent" is what many people search for when they want a tattoo that lasts 10 to 14 days.
Does it come off in water?
No. Once the ink is dry, showers, pools and the ocean won't remove it. Only an oil rubbed on the area takes it off.
Can you apply several at once?
Yes, as long as you leave a few centimeters between designs so each one dries without bleeding into the next.
What if the design I want is sold out?
Its product page stays online: leave your email there and we'll let you know when it's back in stock. No payment, no commitment.
What is the longest lasting temporary tattoo?
A needle-free temporary tattoo lasts about two weeks at most. InkToday designs last 10 to 14 days (7 to 10 on fingers and high-friction spots): see our long-lasting temporary tattoos. Anything sold as lasting months is done with a needle by a professional.
Is there a temporary tattoo that lasts 6 months?
No. No needle-free tattoo lasts 6 months: products sold that way are cosmetic tattoos done with a needle. We explain the difference in our 6-month temporary tattoo guide.
What are the most realistic temporary tattoos?
Semi-permanent designs whose ink sits in the top layer of the skin, not on a shiny film. They have a matte finish like real ink. InkToday uses this type of plant-based vegan ink, which lasts 10 to 14 days. See our fake tattoos.

Temporary Tattoos: What Are They For?
A temporary tattoo goes on in about five minutes and fades on its own after ten to fourteen days. That covers a wedding, a bachelorette party, a festival, a trip or the start of a new school year — long enough for the design to last the whole event, short enough to leave nothing behind. Put it on in the morning and forget about it.
If you'd rather try a design before you book a tattoo artist, our long-lasting temporary tattoos collection is built with that in mind.
How Long Does a Temporary Tattoo Last?
Ten to fourteen days on the forearm, shoulder, back, calf or ankle. Less on the hands and feet, where skin renews faster and you wash your hands all day. Once dry, the ink is waterproof: showers, pools and the ocean won't remove it. Scrubs and rich creams are what wear it down.
How Do You Remove It Early?
Use vegetable oil, coconut oil or an oil-based makeup remover: apply it to the design, then rub gently. Give it a minute. Skip alcohol, which irritates reactive skin. Handy when you want a design for one specific weekend and clear skin by Monday.
Which Ink and Which Size?
The ink is plant-based and vegan, PPD-free and henna-free. It sits on the surface of the skin: no needle, no healing, no appointment.
2 to 5 cm — wrist, ankle, nape of the neck, behind the ear. For fine lines.
5 to 12 cm — forearm, calf, shoulder blade. The most popular size.
12 to 25 cm — back, side, thigh, sleeve. For designs with detail to show.
