Fake Sleeve Tattoos
The full sleeve. Zero years in the chair.
Temporary sleeve tattoos for the forearm and upper arm, in semi-permanent ink that develops in 24 hours and lasts up to 10 days.
Try a sleeve before you commit
A sleeve is the biggest tattoo decision most people make, and the hardest to undo. A fake sleeve tattoo lets you live with the idea first. These are long-format designs sized to wrap the forearm, the upper arm or both, printed in the same semi-permanent ink as the rest of our range. The ink develops over 24 hours into a blue-black finish that looks inked rather than stuck on, then fades by itself in up to 10 days.
Expect Japanese-inspired koi and cranes, snakes winding through flowers, butterflies and botanical bands. Check the size on each product page: some are half-sleeve strips, others cover more of the arm, and two designs can be combined for fuller coverage.
Unlike the nylon tattoo sleeves you pull on over your arm, these go directly on your skin, so they move and crease like a real tattoo. Wear one for an event or a trip, or to see how a sleeve feels before you book an artist.
Is this a full sleeve or a half sleeve?
It depends on the design. Each product page lists the exact length. Most cover the forearm or upper arm, and you can pair two designs to cover more of the arm.
How do I apply a design this long?
Long pieces are easier with a second pair of hands. Follow our step-by-step application guide and give the ink a full 24 hours to develop.
Are these the same as fabric tattoo sleeves?
No. Fabric sleeves are printed nylon you pull over your arm. These go directly on the skin and stay for up to 10 days.
