Do you remember those quarter machines that you would insert $1.00 into and a sweet temporary dolphin tattoo with barbed wire accents was dispensed and you couldn't wait to get home and apply it to your lower back? Well (shamefully), I do.
Temporary tattoos are something that died with jelly shoes and a love for Nickelodeon, but now the temporary tatoo fad has come back in full force and in a really cool way.
Flash tattoos are the new jewelry trend that really aren't jewelry at all, but temporary tattoos. The best part about these temp tats? They're shiny.
The nostalgia of temporary tats was enough to suck me into this trend, but these tattoos are actually really beautiful. They're perfect for not only the beach, but some of these tattoos are so sophisticated and realistic looking that office wear would be acceptable too.

Here's my attempt at the flash tattoo (I bought mine as an off-brand at Target on clearance). So you can imagine that the quality of these tattoos is great if the knock off brand transferred to my skin so easily. The tattoos tend to last 3-6 days depending on where you place them.
They are also really fairly priced. one sheet will cost you about $22.00. That one sheet will last you, too. This isn't any quarter machine rip-off.
Here is where you can get this beautiful new trend!
Thanks for reading!
