![]() ![]() On the Inkbox site, the tattoos look more realistic because the images depict the tattoos in solid black. While the Inkbox tattoos last longer, they don’t provide the same variety in color and finish as the Tattly ones. They look in person exactly how they appear online-very detailed, down to fine lines. It’s a fun way to experiment with designs and colors for an event. The most noteworthy parts are how easy they are to put on and all of the incredible designs and finishes you get to choose from. Tattly: These tattoos work just as well as the ones you’d find at a kids' birthday party, which is why $5 for a set of two isn’t bad. In my experience, it takes a few designated washes with a physical exfoliant, in addition to your regular bathing, to fade the tattoo quickly. In terms of removal, Inkbox recommends washing the tattoo with an exfoliant or salt water. Assuming the rose design flaw was a fluke, Inkbox was on par with my expectations. ![]() The rose tattoos were also not exactly as depicted on the site: They were both missing a small line that completed the leaf. I tried the second rose on the outside of my ankle, too, and it again barely deepened in pigment. The rose on my ankle, however, barely developed at all on the first try. Inkbox: In terms of my moon tattoo, Inkbox worked exactly as it claimed to, taking only 15 minutes to apply and fading over the course of two weeks. The "Blush" tattoo didn't show up upon application. ![]() I ordered backups of both tattoos to test them twice: once to see how long they last naturally, and another time to see how quickly I could scrub them off after application, if I wanted to only wear them for a costume or event. I also ordered the $16 “ Blush” tattoo, a rose silhouette, to test out a finer, sketch-like design. I ordered the “ Illume” tattoo for $14, which is a solid crescent moon, to test the opacity of the solid designs. Inbox: Individual tattoos at Inkbox cost between $10 and $20, while bundles can cost up to $76 for four different designs, plus $3 shipping, unless you spend $32 or more. And we believe that, whether for a child or an adult, every Tattly should come with a smile.” How do you order from Inkbox and Tattly? We believe that quality products and great customer support are the only options. Tattly was started by Tina Roth Eisenberg, a mother who wanted safe, quality temporary tattoos for her young daughter, and it developed from there: “At Tattly, we believe that great design and art can make people happy. While Inkbox uses ink that temporarily stains on the skin, Tattly uses the more typical temp-tattoo application method, with a printed, sticker-like design that transfers to the skin once dampened with water. (If you fancy yourself the creative type, you can also order your own custom design-but only in serious bulk of 200 pieces or more.) The main difference between the two companies is the application method. It offers more than 400 temporary tattoo designs created by 107 artists. Tattly: This company is similar on paper to Inkbox, if on a smaller scale. Whether it’s for a Halloween costume or to test the waters before getting real ink, companies Inkbox and Tattly appeal to people of all ages. ![]() Now, according to our Instagram feeds, temporary tattoos are in style for adults. With those kinds, you plop a paper-backed design wherever you want to display your faux ink, wet with a dampened paper towel, and wait for the magic to happen (or, the paper softens and separates to transfer the art onto skin). After all, it seems most are geared toward little kids who want to don their favorite cartoon character on the back of their hand. Spot one that we've missed? Email us at of us haven’t put on a temporary tattoo since childhood. For our 'As Seen On IG' series, our writers buy them and put them through their paces to find out if they're actually as good as they look online-or too good to be true. We at Reviewed are just as curious about those flashy products we see in our Instagram feeds as you are. ![]()
