Semi-permanent tattoos are best for a longer-wearing tattoo-inspired look without permanent ink. They are made for multi-day style, placement testing, photoshoots, trips, festivals, and everyday statement designs.

Best for

Use this collection for sleeves, back pieces, script, floral bands, mystical designs, gothic styles, henna-inspired looks, and testing tattoo placement before a permanent tattoo.

Wear time

Wear time varies by product, placement, skin type, friction, washing, sweat, and aftercare. Semi-permanent styles are designed for longer wear than standard temporary tattoos, especially on flatter, lower-friction areas.

Application and removal

Apply to clean, dry, product-free skin and avoid rubbing the area while the design settles. Semi-permanent styles fade over time; washing, gentle exfoliation, oil-based remover, and friction can help the design fade faster.
