Evolve Your Style
Style our picks for the hottest trends with the tattoos that scream ‘you’.
Intergalactic
Off the heels of the wildly-popular Dune reboot and into 2022, the Intergalactic trend is space-influenced fashion at its most refined. This trend looks far into the future through a vintage lens - with ultra-modern minimalism in perfect balance with iconography seemingly torn from the pages of classic sci-fi novels. Tattoos can been peaking out through cut-outs and mesh, mixed in with metallic jewellery, or matching with your friends for a look for your full troupe.
Americana
Taking influence from the original early-1900s designs of artists like Maud and Gus Wagner, Americana is a quilt of trends and eras that weave together to create that wild and free feeling of sprawling landscapes, sentimental sunsets, and an outlaw attitude. Go full Laurel Canyon with a tassle jacket, your best fitting Wranglers and all things floral. Recreate history with a bold back piece, modernize with a delicate ribcage placement, or even put together a full sleeve.
Y2K
With the return of flip phones, butterfly clips, and low-rise jeans (ugh.) - Y2K has cemented itself as an enduring cultural influence. Whether you’re taking your inspo from Paris Hilton’s iconic early-aught paparazzi shots, dusting off your Von Dutch trucker hat, or scouring Etsy for a bedazzler, there are infinite ways to make this style your own! Rock the look with a classic Angelina Jolie-inspired bicep adornment, a risqué tramp stamp, or an oh-so-90s ankle placement.
Emo Resurgence
When modern pop-punk icons and their A-List gf’s start rocking wallet chains and studded leather - it’s not long until the world follows suit. The new and evolved emo is a slightly more refined take on classic styles from its hey-day in the early 2000s, featuring the evolution of hot pink, blackout eyeliner, neon-colored hair, and skeleton suits (thank you Phoebe Bridgers.) With a trend cemented in unapologetic self-expression, there are no wrong answers for styling (though we *love* wrist, bicep, and fingers).
"That Girl"
Made wildly popular on TikTok to a mixture of scrutiny and undeniable aspirational influence, in 2022 we’re reclaiming the term “That Girl” as a pure positive. More than a fashion trend expressing self-love in all its forms - “That Girl” is a lifestyle focused on true self-care. Style these tats in a way that feels true to you - on your fingers and wrists for inspiration throughout the day, or on your arm for the world to see.
Schoolcore
Schoolcore shows off individuality and rebellion, all with an underlying collegiate uniformity. Think Gossip Girl (old school and new), Harry Styles’ iconic collar and pearls combo, and preeetty much every outfit in Clueless… it’s prep-school charm with a baddie influence. More than just a doodle in the margins, show off your tats with a playful wrist piece, dainty finger tat, or (our fav) a ribcage placement.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
How does Inkbox work?
Unlike most temp 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 proteins and keratin in your skin, and darkens over 24-36 hours. For more on catalog designs, click here. To see how the Freehand Tattoo Marker works, click here.
How long does an Inkbox tattoo last? What if I want to remove it sooner?
Our tattoos can last up to 10 days. How long it lasts is highly dependent on where you apply your tattoo, your daily activities and skin’s moisture. Our ink gradually fades away as your skin naturally regenerates.
Want to remove it sooner? 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.
What color/shade will my tattoo be?
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.
Is Inkbox safe?
Yes, our For Now Ink™ formula has been tested for product safety to ensure it meets cosmetic regulatory requirements. Our tattoos are clinically tested. Check out a full list of ingredients here.
