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 collagen in your skin, and darkens over 24-36 hours. For more on catalog designs, click here. To see how Freehand Ink works, click here.

Our tattoos can last up to 1-2 weeks. 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.

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.

Our tattoos come in five canvas sizes: 1x1”, 2x2", 3x3", 4x4", and 5x2”. Please note that the usable design space for the tattoo design is roughly 0.25” smaller than the canvas itself. More information on this can be found here.

Our For Now Ink™ has a shelf life of 3 months and should be stored in a cool, dry location. You’ll find a recommended use-by date printed on the packaging of your tattoo.

Our Freehand Ink has a shelf life of 6 months. Make sure to store it standing upright in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight. Keep the small rubber cap on the metal tip!
