Frequently Asked Questions

I Do Ink LLC offers Iowa's only Temporary Tattoo Lounge- we don't just drop off a machine and leave. We curate a fully styled, interactive experience where guests turn a nostalgic quarter style vending machine dial, receive a temporary tattoo capsule, and then head over to our application station to get "inked" by Sam (or each other!) in seconds. Think of the Temporary Tattoo Lounge as the modern, high-energy alternative to your traditional wedding favors (sorry koozies!). It's a massive hit for your reception- it's a cocktail hour experience, late night party re-starter, and an instant conversation starter!

I Do Ink LLC doesn't use just any temporary tattoos- our tattoos are 100% temporary, water applied, and FDA-compliant cosmetic-grade non-toxic ink. They are completely safe for all skin types, including children and those with sensitive skin! Our temporary tattoos easily last through the night and up to the next 3 - 5 days if left alone. If guests wish to remove them for work on Monday, they can take them off using baby oil, rubbing alcohol, or a gentle makeup remover. No Mess No Stress!

Available for application are sponges, spray bottles, napkins, and a beautiful mirror to assist in making application a snap and keeping your guest's gorgeous dresses and suits perfectly dry and pristine.
