The Do’s and Don’t’s of Temporary Tattoos

Chanel spring 2010, Imaxtree

Ever since Chanel debuted the temporary tattoo trend on the catwalk for spring 2010, it’s now acceptable to wear a temp tat again! Remember those ones for 25 cents you would get out of a machine when you were little? Well, now (for $75 more), you can fashionably express your inner-rock star without getting permanently inked…and without the regret a week later.

Here are some helpful hints for your wild-child self to make these temporary tattoo’s as classy and awesome as possible:

DO choose a temp tattoo in all black.

DON’T put them in a “tramp stamp” location (ie. lower back).

DO buy ones of higher quality—they’ll last longer!

We love these by Chanel, which come with 3 sheets and 55 designs.

DON’T put on more than one at a time…

DO get them wet as little as possible (while not neglecting good hygiene, of course).

Beyonce’s line House of Dereon, also makes super-cute temporary tattoos (for a fraction of the price!)
