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).

Our unique formula lets our INKTODAY tattoos last longer while giving a deeper, blacker colour.

Temporary lettering tattoo: wear your words for 10 to 14 days, needle-free
A temporary lettering tattoo is a cosmetic-ink fake tattoo that replicates the look of real script on skin. It applies in minutes, lasts 10 to 14 days depending on placement, and fades naturally without a trace. It's the ideal way to test a quote, a meaningful word, or a lettering style before any permanent commitment.
Best placements for a lettering tattoo
The inner wrist is the top pick for lettering: visible, discreet depending on your outfit, deeply symbolic. The collarbone and nape give an elegant effect, ideal for a short quote. Ankle and lower back suit longer phrases. At 0.8 x 4.4 cm, the step-by-step design fits every placement you have in mind.
Which occasions call for a temporary lettering tattoo?
This design works for everyday wear and special events alike. The most common occasions are bachelorette parties (a shared word for the whole group), weddings (a discreet message on the day), festivals (express who you are without the lifelong commitment), travel (test a word in another language), or simply to find out whether that quote you've been thinking about actually works on your skin every morning.
What lettering style should you choose?
The step-by-step style uses a fine, consistent line close to modern script. It works for short words and full sentences alike. If you're deciding between calligraphy, minimalist, or gothic for your future permanent tattoo, wearing a temporary version in this style for a week gives you a concrete answer.
Are there risks with temporary tattoos?
The main risks come from products containing black henna (PPD), which can trigger severe allergic reactions. InkToday temporary tattoos contain no PPD. The formula meets EU cosmetic standards and is suitable for sensitive skin. When in doubt, testing on a small area first is always a good idea.
What is the price of a temporary lettering tattoo?A permanent lettering tattoo costs far more, even in the smallest format. InkToday's temporary lettering tattoo offers 10 to 14 days of wear. That's the price of a trial run, not a lifelong decision.
