Tattoos are no longer just a form of decoration for Hell's Angels and sailors in recent years, they have become quite mainstream with celebrities including Angelina Jolie with a tattoo for the co ordinates of the origins of each of her adopted children on her arm, Joss Stone with a flower behind her ear, Victoria Beckham's five stars on her back and even Helen Mirren's tiny tattoo on her hand. It seems like almost every celebrity has a tattoo but now they are also big news on the catwalks. At the SS10 shows, both Rodarte and Chanel accessorised their collections with Tattoos (I assume of the temporary variety).
At Chanel, delicate logo's on chains on the legs of models made an interesting change to jewellery.
At Rodarte, solid black designs on the arms accompanied tribal style dresses.
With tattoo being so permanent and fashions changing so fast, we love the idea of temporary tattoos that can be changed to suit your mood and outfit. No pain and no committment.
These nylon sleeves from Urban Outfitters are a great way to get a tattoo just for the day. I wonder whether they would also fit on the legs for an unusual alternative to tights.
