Butterfly Semi-Permanent Tattoos That Speak for Themselves

Butterflies represent transformation, freedom, and natural beauty—and this collection channels all of that. Fugacious Art’s semi-permanent butterfly tattoos are wearable art, designed to help you express yourself in a non-permanent way. Whether you're drawn to delicate details or dramatic wingspans, these tattoos give you the look of ink without the lifelong commitment.

Each tattoo is made using skin-safe, plant-based ink that fades gradually over 7 to 14 days. They're waterproof, easy to apply at home, and leave behind a soft, realistic look that blends beautifully with your skin tone.

From Minimal to Maximal: A Style for Every Wing

You’ll find everything from small minimalist butterflies perfect for the collarbone or wrist, to symmetrical twin-winged designs that stand out on the back or thigh. Some tattoos in this collection are paired with botanical flourishes or celestial details—ideal for anyone who wants more than just wings.

Looking to test a tattoo before going permanent? These designs let you try out placement and size before making a long-term decision. Prefer to change it up every week? You’ll love having the freedom to switch styles as often as your mood.

HAVE QUESTIONS?

Do you offer bulk orders for events and businesses?

Yes, we offer bulk discounts for parties, events, promotional items, and businesses. Contact us for pricing and customization options.

Are Fugacious tattoos waterproof?

Yes! Do not shower for the first 8h after tattoo application as this may interfere with penetration of the ink into the skin. Feel free to shower and swim freely after this period. Note that frequent bathing and suntanning will likely shorten the life of the tattoo due to the more frequent shedding of dry skin.

Can I create a custom tattoo?

Absolutely! We offer custom temporary tattoos for personal and business use. Custom design processing takes about 3 weeks. Please enquire via email for specifics.

How do I remove a Fugacious tattoo?

Since the ink has penetrated several layers of the skin it will not be possible to remove right away. After 3-4 days, when the skin has started to regenerate, you will be able to exfoliate it off. In other words, you can shorten the life of the tattoo but you cannot remove it right away.

What is the optimal amount of time to leave on the applicator?

You might be wondering why we aren't more precise on the time required for application. This is because each person's skin is unique. Dryer skin takes a bit longer to penetrate, for example. In our experience, 90 minutes is about right, but if you want to add an extra 30 for good measure, your tattoo will appear a little bit quicker.

Are Fugacious tattoos safe for children?

Yes! Fugacious tattoos are safe for children and recommended for children over the age of ten.

Are Fugacious tattoos safe for all skin types?

Yes! Our tattoos are made with skin-safe, non-toxic, FDA-approved ingredients. However, if you have sensitive skin or allergies, we recommend doing a patch test with a small tattoo before applying a larger design. Sometimes the applicator can cause skin redness and irritation, similar to what happens when you pull off a bandaid.

How long do Fugacious tattoos last?

Our temporary tattoos typically last between 7 to 14 days, depending on placement, skin type, and care.
