  • Super fun way to try out some tattoos for those of us who can't seem to make the plunge! Ordering and receiving was super easy, and I just went back to get some more to try out.

  • Im super happy with this company! I was able to get a 2 pack at winners to try out. ( bought myself) The first one lasted about 2.5 weeks. This mushroom i have right now on my arm is going on 3 weeks!! They are so cool and so realistic ! Im very happy with this product and will buy more!

  • Overall I love the concept behind Inkbox. I used one of their premade designs as well as the tattoo marker. My experience with the premade design was better -- It was a clean looking application. However the tattoo marker bled into my skin so it was hard to create a clean design. Both lasted a couple weeks which is a perfect length for a temporary tattoo.

  • The Inkbox pen is fine. The tip was akin to a paintbrush so I couldn't get as fine lines as I had hoped for and I really did just look like I took a marker to my body, didn't really look like a real tattoo. I suppose as any regular tattoo, it wears a lot faster where there is friction, so I found the markings I had placed near my waistline and on my hand and on my ankle were quick to fade. So I guess I kind of wish it lasted longer like maybe a couple months instead of a couple weeks? If the actual Inkbox tattoos work for you then great! Stick with those. Don't get the pen.

  • Inkbox is such a fun way to try out tattoos. It worked really well when there were no creases, but you do have to think about placement to limit creases. It lasted about two weeks for me. I used it on holiday, which was a fun non-committal way to try tattoos!

  • I got the tattoo pen and found it bled a LOT - I finished drawing on my wrist and let it dry while sitting still so it was dry to the touch. Thought I was fine, but the next morning it had completely bled all over my wrist. Not sure if I was doing it wrong or what. The pen is also a brush tip, which is a little annoying for detail drawing - would be nice if they sold a finer pen or multiple pen types. This is such a fun idea and I really wish it worked better than it did. The staying power is honestly decent, just wish that it was a nice, crisp piece that was staying and not a blurry mess.

  • The product is meh to me - I find it expensive and it didn't show up super well on my skin, BUT the company has awesome customer service and they sent me a credit along with better instructions for my complexion!

  • Made a custom tattoo within SECONDS (after the website started working lol). Was blue/green fo ~1 day, but the end result looks exactly like a real tattoo and stayed on my skin for more than two weeks. Will update when it starts to noticeably fade.

    The website wouldn't upload my png for the longest time. Said it was too big even though it wasn't. Then magically started working 10 min late when I tried again.

  • These were fun. Unfortunately, I also found out there's a concept of a 'fresh' tattoo. I bought multiple and didn't use the last one until like a year after I purchased it and by then the product had 'expired' in a way where the tattoo barely showed up.

  • I’ve gotten Inkbox as gifts for two different people now and have had a positive experience overall. The idea is really cool and it’s a great way to test out a tattoo before getting it.

    Application can be difficult and the results aren’t always the best.

  • As someone who is considering a tattoo, I love this because I can test out tattoos to see what designs I'd like and where I'd like to potentially place a permanent one. I also like the ability to change tattoos as the mood strikes me. Easy to apply, and looks good. Where you place the tattoo matters - if the body part goes up against clothing, or is a body part that moves around and touches more things, it will definitely not last as long (days vs weeks).

    There is a HUGE selection, and it's overwhelming and hard to search. I wish there was some way to make it easier to sort and/or filter the options.

  • I bought these as a gift, and loved the selection of tattoos. There is a huge library of options that range from every style you could want.

  • I designed my own tattoo and also purchased a pre-designed one. I think it's really important to think about the placement of your tattoo. "Soft" areas don't seem to work very well because you need to be able to apply pressure to the tattoo to get it to show up clearly. I put the first one on the inside of my wrist, but the spot was too soft and the final result looked terrible.

  • Really really loved this, was extremely useful to test a few locations on my body prior to getting my first tattoo. Plus, I could experiment with cute new styles! Very broad assortment of designs and very well priced.

    Feedback

    With a broad assortment of designs comes an infinite number of permutations - at times, it felt exhausting to sort through the options. Maybe more intuitively 'themed' categories or fewer SKUs?

  • I tried the marker. Decent staying power but some of them rubbed off pretty quick. I also didn't like that the tip wasn't that fine. The ads made it seem you could get really fine lines & that was not the case.

  • These work exactly as marketed. They go on like temporary tattoos, but they last for weeks. I have been trying out spots on my body as I plan for my next real tattoo and this is a great way to find out where you DONT want something permanent. I've used these for festivals, concerts, costumes, and just for fun. I love supporting the artists that they work with, as well.

  • I was able to try this brand many years ago for free and I really enjoy their products. The fake tattoos stay in for a few days and come off only when you scrub them very hard. They have a variety of different styles and support a lot of unique artists.

    Nothing.

  • Great fun with my friend, I especially love the boobs one.

    Feedback

    My only complaint is that the finger ones faded quite quickly which i guess is synonymous with actual tattoos.

  • Really cool idea and definitely fun to try out! It lasted quite a while and looked great. Easier if you have someone to help you with the application.

    Feedback

    Takes a while to apply, but probably because the dye has to sink in.
