[Inkbox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superlotl-by-inkbox) is introducing For Now Ink as its second generation of semi-permanent tattoos, which are easy to apply, realistic and last for just one to two weeks. The tattoos set themselves apart from most permanent tattoos and [temporary tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialbuy-temporary-tattoos) as they use dermatologically approved ink that sinks into the upper layer of the skin—providing body art that's painless and commitment-free.

Inkbox offers thousands of semi-permanent tattoos for people to choose from, including work of art inspired by everything from astrology to flowers.

According to Inkbox CEO and co-founder Tyler Handley, "One-third of Millennials report having at least one tattoo, and Gen Z is on track for keeping that trend going. Inkbox gives its users the ability to explore different versions of themselves, without the permanent commitment."
