How to choose your temporary nature tattoo
The forearm is the most exposed placement on the body. Visible every single day, it deserves a considered decision. Before committing to €60-€200 at a studio, here is how to get the most out of a temporary forearm tattoo: start by choosing a realistic size for the surface you have (a large motif for a broad forearm, something smaller for the wrist or the inner elbow); try both the inner and the outer forearm, because they read very differently; wear the motif for 10 to 14 days in your real life, in meetings, at the gym, on a night out. If you forget it is there, that is a good sign. Packs of 2 or 4 motifs let you compare several themes for a single purchase of around €15.
FAQ: temporary nature tattoos
How long does a temporary nature tattoo last?
10 to 14 days on the skin, depending on the area and how much it rubs. InkToday's plant-based ink is waterproof: showers, the sea and swimming pools will not remove it. Pat the area dry gently after each wash to make it last longer.
Which nature motifs are most requested in temporary tattoos?
Fine-line forests and fir trees, minimalist mountains, leaves and branches, along with ocean and celestial themes, come up most often. One-line designs dominate because they stay readable even at small sizes.
Where should you place a temporary nature tattoo?
The forearm and the wrist show off linear motifs such as mountains or branches. The ankle suits small, discreet designs like a leaf or a flower. For a wider scene, a whole forest or a full composition, the shoulder blade or the calf gives you more surface.
Can you combine several nature motifs in one tattoo?
Yes. Packs of 2 or 4 motifs let you compose a scene, mountain, sun, forest, or put several small elements on the same arm. It is a way of testing a composition before imagining a more ambitious permanent project.
Is a temporary nature tattoo waterproof?
Yes, InkToday's vegan ink resists water once it is applied and dry, which takes 10 to 15 minutes after application. Showers, swimming pools, the sea and perspiration will not remove it before the natural end of the 10 to 14 days.
How do you apply a temporary nature tattoo?
Cut out the motif, peel off the plastic film, place it ink-side down on clean dry skin, dampen it with a sponge for 20 to 30 seconds, then peel the paper away gently. Zero needles, applied in a few minutes.
