About our ink

Made for the moment. Designed to help you decide. Our full-colour temporary tattoos are printed to order, giving you a realistic, short-term way to experience your design before making a permanent decision.

The transfer

FROM ARTWORK TO SKIN

Each tattoo is printed to order from your chosen artwork and transferred with water. It is temporary by design, so you can experience the scale, placement and feeling of a tattoo without the permanence.

How the transfer works

The printed design sits on a transfer film. Water releases it from the backing paper so the artwork settles onto clean, dry skin. Trim around the design before applying for the neatest finish.

What to expect

The result is a thin decorative transfer that follows the skin. Colours can vary slightly between your screen and the finished tattoo, and fine detail reads best in clean, high-resolution artwork.

White and light colours

Standard Inkaro temporary tattoos do not use white ink. White areas print transparent, and very pale colours may appear subtle or change depending on your skin tone.

Artwork preparation

A transparent PNG usually gives the cleanest result. Use clear, high-resolution black or coloured artwork and avoid blurry screenshots or heavily compressed files. Each design is proportionally fitted within the selected size without stretching, distortion or cropping. Depending on the shape of your design, one dimension may be slightly smaller.

Wear and care

MADE FOR SHORT-TERM WEAR

Typically lasts 2–3 days.

It may last longer on low-friction areas with proper care. Water-resistant after application, but not fully waterproof. Swimming, heavy sweating and friction may shorten wear time. Keep oils and alcohol-based products away from the area until you are ready to remove it.
