Ready In A Flash: Flash Tattoo Fashion 


This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois State chapter.

Flash, sparkle, and shine! When do all of those words come to mind? When looking at jewelry of course! As a longtime jewelry-lover, I live by the motto that one can never have too much jewelry. Therefore, I am very excited to share with my fellow jewelry fans that our options have become more versatile!  

Flash Tattoos, inspired by henna, are the newest fashion trends for everyone who loves jewelry or tattoos. These creative new designs give you a different option than classic jewelry as well as a tattoo design without the lifelong commitment. These temporary tattoos (yes, like the ones you applied as a kid) are easy to apply and come in a variety of metallic designs. The tattoos last for four-six days and never lose their sparkle; just like you! 

Directions:1. Pick your Flash Tattoo2. Run a washcloth under warm water3. Peel off the design covering4. Apply the design to your skin5. Lay the washcloth on top of the tattoo and your skin for thirty seconds

There are a variety of different designs available. These options range from intricate flowers to a simple lightning bolt; but their most popular designs are all jewelry inspired. Everyone has their favorite piece of jewelry, a simple bracelet or bold statement necklace; Flash Tattoos has it all. Girls everywhere can create and wear their favorite designs for days on end! Don’t believe me when I say this creation is taking flight? Check our your favorite celebrities: Beyoncé, wearing hers while soaking up the sun during summer; Selena Gomez, wearing hers on a night out; and many more! Flash Tattoos are perfect for every occasion and every type of person. 

For my fellow sensitive skin people:You can do this too! I have suffered with horrible eczema my entire life, so when I heard of this trend I had my doubts. Although, Flash Tattoos proved me wrong! These tattoos are non-toxic and approved by all United States and International beauty product requirements. I took a chance with this fashion trend (even with my sensitive skin) and ended up loving it! After days of wear, I had nothing but positive reactions (no skin issues and lots of compliments). To be completely safe, I recommend checking with your dermatologist before use. 

To view the designs, consumers can visit their website (http://www.flashtat.com/) or follow them through their social media profiles! Take a chance ladies – it’s only temporary.
