[Inkbox](https://www.inkbox.com) is a Toronto-based company that was created in response to the commitment anxiety many consumers who are interested in getting inked feel. With Inkbox semi-permanent tattoos, consumers can get a custom design that lasts eight to 18 days, which can easily be applied at home within 15 minutes. Although the tattoos are semi-permanent, they look totally real, with the ink sitting on the skin in a natural fashion, rather than looking like a sticker.

Apart from helping consumers gain the confidence they need to go through with a permanent design, Inkbox supports independent artists by outsourcing designs, allowing consumers to access work from different artists through its [custom platform](https://inkbox.com/custom-tattoos). Although Inkbox has well over 1,000 designs that are readily available for purchase, consumers can use the custom platform to get the exact design they want, whether it’s a work of their own, or a design from a talented artist across the globe. Once the design is created, it can be previewed to ensure the perfect size and placement, or saved to edit further at a later time. Next, Inkbox cuts the design with lasers and ships it out.

In addition, Inkbox assists indigenous tribes in Panama through the Darien Initiative. A charity, the Darien Initiative provides support to the people of the Darién Gap by providing them with community and agricultural support programs. As the ink that Inkbox uses comes from a fruit that’s derived from this region, it uses sustainable practices while giving back to the community that’s responsible for it.
