I have had this urge before - 8 years ago. At the time, I was living in America where everyone seemed to sport the most amazing and creative body art.
By nature, I'm pretty squeamish (read: Drama Queen) so in the end I did chicken out of the tattoo idea and opted for a naval piercing (another thing everyone seemed to have at the time), which was probably more painful than a tattoo seeing as the girl messed it up - I pierced 3/4 of the way into my belly button meaning that after 9months of constant infection I had to finally get rid of it! :( TMI?
Anyway, I have been pretty happy with my blank canvas until this past week when all I have done is think about all the pretty things I could have tattooed to my body! Anyway, while looking for designs, I came across this for Spring/Summer 2010:
Les Trompe L’Oeil de CHANEL Temporary Skin Art
This book of temporary tattoos (don't worry they are not of the lick your skin then dib dab on variety) is limited edition and is $75 for 55 designs. I guess that's not that bad then?!
The designs are based on temporary tattoos used in the Paris runway show, designed by Global Creative Director Peter Philips.
I do love the chain detailing of these designs but think I would give the Chanel logo a miss! However, I don't think I would like to stretch to $75 for a temporary tattoo, even if there is 55 designs to choose from.
Pretty though, and some nice inspiration :)
