Tattoo's Tattoo's and even more tattoo's


Remember when we were a kid and we always wanted to get tatted up either putting stickers everywhere or drawing on ourselves and our parents would yell at us because it was really bad for our skin. Ya, I think we all do! Well, temporary tattoo's are back in style better then ever!

"Henna is considered sacred work, and a form of worship in many diverse cultures such as Indian, Middle Eastern countries and Africa" (Ragani Harris, 2002). In the Indian and Pakistani culture, Henna (Mehndi) is used at weddings and on religious holiday such as Eid. There are many delicate designs that can be made either simple or very complex and detailed. Henna usually lasts for about 1- 3 weeks depending on many times you wash it off and where it is located. This trend became very popular recently as it like wearing a different tattoo every month, that you also don't have to hide from your parents! 

The most popular pattern that was done on Princess Pia Mia: 


Now, heres something for those people just want a one day tattoo! METALLIC TATTOO'S! Yes there is such a thing, and it's so easy to put on anywhere and everywhere. You can literally bring your look  from an 8 to a 10 with these temporary tattoo's. They are the perfect accessory to wear on a day at the beach or on a night of chilling. Now the only sad part is, they come of after you shower or if you accidentally rub it off. Here are some of the styles that are very popular: 


You can find these online at ETSY, there are many different designs you can choose from. I also happen to see them at Coles, Chapters and Indigo for around $10-15 dollars. 

Seem's like this is going to a good summer accessory! I definitely am going to grab myself a pack to wear when I hit the beach this summer. What do you guys think of this trend?
