Unlike most temporary tattoos, Inkbox works by sinking into your skin and doesn't just stick on top. Our tattoos are painless and super easy to apply. There are only a few steps involved! Once applied, the ink reacts with the protein and keratin in your skin, and darkens over 24-36 hours.
On the tattoo applicator, you'll notice the ink is a light blue shade. This is how the tattoo will look when first applied to your skin, but don't worry! Over 24-36 hours, your tattoo will darken into a tattoo-like shade; it's all part of the Inkbox magic! For more on how our ink develops, click here.

Lightly scrub your skin with an exfoliant (like warm saltwater or a body scrub). Be gentle with your skin, it may take a few tries to remove the ink entirely.
