Fish and flower temporary tattoo, sumi-e style

This sumi-e inspired fish and flower design combines traditional Japanese ink painting technique with organic floral elements. The elongated M-Long format (under 10x25cm, roughly envelope-sized) creates a vertical composition that follows natural body curves.

The minimalist approach uses fluid brush strokes and negative space typical of sumi-e art, where each line carries intentional weight and movement. Unlike dense detailed designs, this pattern relies on economy of line—a single stroke captures both form and energy, creating visual flow between the fish and botanical elements.

Our plant-based jagua ink penetrates the skin's first layer for a matte, authentic finish that water-slide transfers cannot replicate. While synthetic stickers fade within days and create a glossy surface, this natural ink withstands water and friction for 10 to 15 days with proper care.

The elongated vertical shape works particularly well along the forearm for wrap-around placement, down the spine for dramatic effect, or on the outer thigh where the length complements leg contours. The narrow width also suits ribcage placement if you prefer concealed positioning.

Suitable for those drawn to East Asian aesthetic philosophy or anyone testing vertical composition before permanent work. The fish-and-flower pairing carries symbolism of harmony and natural cycles in Japanese tradition.
