Get a (temporary) tat
Tattly's temporary tattoos are for those who are past kiddie tattoos, but are not sold on the whole needles-dyeing-your-skin-forever thing. These tattoos are the product of designers coming together to one-up often unfashionable temporary children's tattoos. Designs include one that says "Mother" above a sailor's anchor. Another says "I Love NY More Than Milton Glaser," maker of the original "I Love NY" design. The screen of the watch tattoo says "Late" and wraps around the wrist. Knuckle tattoos spell out four letter phrases.
Most Tattly tattoos last at least five days and a set of two is $5, which includes shipping. A wet cloth is all that's needed to apply the tattoos, which makes getting them on as easy as applying the children's models. But remember, since these aren't real tattoos, many of them don't look real. The ones that show skin through the design look more realistic than some of the solid colored ones, which can come off looking more like stickers. For more information, go to Tatt.ly.
