A tattoo that is not permanent, looks like two-dimensional jewelry, and is totally glamorous. Flash Tattoos are the newest tattoo trend that brings us a shiny, sexy accessory. Flash Tattoos are “jewelry inspired temporary tattoos” that will transform your entire look.

    Flash Tattoos are non-toxic and safe for anyone to wear! Each Flash Tattoo varies on the placement on the body of course, but is estimated to last about 4-6 days. For longer lasting and overall better results, the creators of Flash recommend avoiding direct contact of sunscreen, soap, lotions, and oils on or near the temporary tattoo. The oil bases in these products breakdown the adhesive causing the tattoo to crack and degrade. Apply the Flash Tattoo on clean, dry, and oil free skin. Cut the tattoo as close to edge and remove the clear sheet. Place tattoo face down on your skin, hold a wet cloth against tattoo for about 30 seconds, and gently peel paper off. Voilà- you now have a tasteful trendy tattoo.  Flash Tattoos make it easy to accessorize for any event- even the beach. Apply, glimmer, and go!

    Tired of your design or want to switch to a fresh new look? No problem, removing is simple. Just like kiddie temporary tattoos, oil (olive, coconut, baby, etc.) or soap and water easily remove. Each Flash Tattoo set is customized and unique. There are eleven different sets to choose from based on your style preference. Each set includes 3-4 sheets of a variety of gold and silver metallic designs.

    Flash Tattoos made an appearance in Vogue’s 2014 issue. Vogue wrote the Flash Tat “has become a beauty-and fashion phenomenon”. Flash Tattoos are showing up everywhere. Beyoncé, Alessandra Ambrosio, Carolina Herrera de Báez, Aerin Lauder, Kendall Jenner and many more celebs are accessorizing their bodies with Flash Tattoos.

    “Because what’s more precious than jewelry that flashes and fades with the moment?” –Vogue
