BEAUTY BAR: Try A Tattoo

June 5th, 2015 at 2:00am

The idea of a tattoo is simple—it’s something important or beautiful to you that you want to keep with you for the rest of your life. For many 20-year-olds, though, it can be hard to buy into that kind of commitment. Between choosing a college, a career and even a partner, we have enough decisions to make that will stick with us for the rest of our lives. If this sounds like you, take a deep breath. There is a stylish yet sensible solution.

Since elementary school, temporary tattoos have either been dismissed as childish or embraced ironically. Don’t turn your nose at this trend, though. Many companies, like Flash Tattoos, are designing and producing temporary tattoos for the trendy adult. Marketed as “jewelry-inspired” tattoos, they’re most common in silver and gold. The color sets them apart from the temporary tattoos of our childhood and makes them especially appropriate for festivals or costume parties.

What’s more, the design of these tattoos is often in line with what’s trending in the fashion world. You can find the chevron arrow as a gold tattoo just as you can as a gold necklace. The tattoo designs are tailored for stylish, young adults. Whether your fashion sense is indie or preppy, you’ll be sure to find something that matches your personal style.

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: Mix and match or layer temporary tattoos to create your perfect body art statement. This Fashionista’s tattoo is composed of three separate tattoos, which are perfectly aligned to create the look you see!
