Inkbox Temporary Tattoos Review

Hi! Use inkbox.com/?ref=bb-k36xd8 when ordering from inkbox!

Inkbox Tattoo's is a Temporary/ Semi-permanent tattoo company. And they have hundreds of designs to choose from. These aren't like your normal temporary tattoo that you put on by soaking the back and have them stick to you. With Inkbox, they actually last 8-18 days and you cants scratch them off. Its kinda like when you draw on yourself with a sharpie but with non toxic ink.

You get this little application kit to put it on, even has an instruction booklet to help you through it. The only problem is if you screw it up, you could end up with a blob on your body for a few weeks. I'll give a quick hint that I learned. Don't apply to really dry skin, the ink kinda seeps into your pores and will spread in the little lines. Also, the hotter your cloth, the darker your tattoo will turn out. They are always light at first, but don't worry, after a few hours it will darken up.

Now, another thing I like about these guys, you can have them make you a personalized tattoo, all you have to do is upload an image of what you want and they will make it for you. Just beware that this will add about 3-5 more days onto the already a week wait for getting it. (Yes, shipping takes about a week depending on what day and time you order. Took 8 days when I ordered on a Sunday) And shipping is free to U.S and Canada for orders of $32 and up. So (depending on what you get) that's about 2 tattoos for free shipping. For free international shipping you have to order $39 or more

Here's a quote from their site about the ink they use "The active dye compound in our ink is naturally derived from the Genipa americana plant. Tribes in South America have used this plant for body ornamentation for thousands of years. inkbox uses safe ingredients in our inks. Our ink does not contain PPD. Nonetheless, seeing as inkbox contains ingredients you may not have put on your skin before, there is a small risk of allergic reaction upon application, or of sensitization through repeated use. If you experience any reaction either during or after using inkbox, we recommend contacting a medical professional and reporting your reaction to us at hi@inkbox.com. Possible effects include redness, rash, irritation, or in extremely rare cases, scarring." So like anything you put on your skin, be careful if you aren't sure of allergies

The next day

Picking a location for your temporary tattoo is a little harder than choosing a spot for a real one, simply because there are cretin sections of skin that don't hold ink as well and will wash away faster. So depending on how long you want to keep it for, you may want to put it somewhere that doesn't sweat much. I had one on my leg that lasted for 3 weeks. Hands tend to wash off quickly because you wash them so often. Outer arm lasts longer than inner. My most recent one is on my upper back, so I'm not sure what to expect with this one.

If it wasn't clear by now, I absolutely recommend getting one if you love temporary tattoos. or, if you have a tattoo idea that you want to test out, but aren't sure about their price range is $14-$23 (That I've seen) a lot cheaper than a real one. And if you don't like it, you don't have to stress about keeping it your whole life. My husband is thinking about getting a tattoo on his forearm so he keeps putting his Inkbox's there. He's trying to decide what he want's and what size to get (which will help us price it out once he makes up his mind).
