Miley Cyrus’ New Tattoo Is A Cross

Miley Cyrus was spotted recently with a bandage on her hand near her middle finger and we could all guess that it was yet another tattoo. She seems to be making the most of adulthood and getting lots of tattoos. The latest reports indicate that Miley took a break from shooting, her next movie, So Undercover and went to get a new tattoo at Eye Candy Tattoo is New Orleans where she apparently got a tattoo of a cross.

We already know that she has "Just Breathe" as a tattoo under her breast and a "love" tattoo on her ear.


We’ll find out soon what it looks like but a tattoo for Christmas is a nice treat from Santa!

Face Tattoo

If you go for a bold face tattoo, then you've got a pretty good idea that keeping a low profile won't be easy. So how do you hide from the police with a large very distinctive face tattoo? The answer is: you don't!
The man with a "480" face tattoo has been arrested by the police shortly after going into hiding. It prove to difficult to keep a low profile and hide away with such a distinctive tattoo.

Johnny "Irish" McNeel was captured less than 24 hours after he tried to shoot a police officer in the USA. It was only going to be a matter of time with a large "480" tattoo on his chin. The gunman had recently got out of prison but he will be going straight back after pulling the trigger on a police officer. The gun jammed and the officer was not hurt in the incident. I guess he would have found it very difficult to stay away from the authorities for too long. In other word, if you're considering a criminal career, then a face tattoo is best avoided.

The man's tattoo is an homage to the local area 480 area code.

X Factor- Cher Lloyd celebrates with a new tattoo

Controversial X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd has announced she is going to celebrate her new singing career with another tattoo. Cher Lloyd may have been knocked out of the X Factor final on Saturday night but she’s not walking away empty handed. It has been leaked that Black Eyed Pea star Will.i.am has already offered Cher a recording contract. She will take part of the X Factor tour for the next few months and then will be able to start recoring her own album with the help of Will.i.am and Cheryl Cole. She has made plenty of friends in the music industry and she's set to a great singing career.



Cher Lloyd already has 3 tattoos even if she not 18 yet. She had been talking about getting a new one for a while and celebrating her success on the X Factor seems like a good time to get another tattoo. She was initially going to get suggestions from fans to decide on the design for the new tattoo. However, she is more likely to get a tattoo to celebrate music and her X Factor 4th place.

The new tattoo is likely to be music related. Cher has already given some details saying that she want to get a lyric from her mum’s favourite song tattooed on her wrist. The lyrics say - All that you have is your soul. Certainly a great tattoo for someone like her who knows her own mind and does not like being told what to do or think. We look forward to seeing the new tattoo soon.

Tattoo and Text

We mostly associate tattoos with great design. It is art after all. But we sometimes forget there are great tattoos out there with text. This is one from Matt's website which I found amazing. The actual text of the tattoo is copied below. This tattoo is certainly a great inspiration to focus the attention on text and fonts and not just on design.

This is what it's all about:

Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic.
You have been warned- Tyler.

Tattoo and personality

How to you choose a tattoo design to represent your personality?

There’s isn’t a check list that you can follow or a reference book on tattoo that you can read. There isn’t a tattoo website that can tell you which tattoo design is right for you. You either know straight away what tattoo design is right for you or you need to think about it and get ideas.

If you are in the category of people who want a tattoo to represent who they are and what they like in life but are not sure about the design, you can follow a simple procedure to pick your tattoo design.

Are you religious?
You can have a look at various tattoo design representing your religion. If you are deeply religious and this means a lot to you, then you will be pleased with something that will show your faith to the world. It can be something obvious like a cross or it can be something a bit more unusual such as a few words from a prayer which means a lot to you.

Are you in love?
We also recommend avoiding tattooing the name of a girlfriend or boyfriend as relationships can break up and leave you with a tattoo you no longer want. But if you are in a long term relationship or if you want to illustrate your love for someone, then this can be a great way to be united for life. You need to remember that a tattoo is for life and it’s not the same with all relationships.

Are you a parent?
If you are a parent then your children certainly mean the world to you. You can create a great tattoo by playing with fonts and initials for first names or with the actual names if they are quite short. Be careful that long names such as Mary Elisabeth or Jean-Christophe don’t look so good on tattoos.

Do you have a pet?
If you love your pet and it’s a big part of your life, you can create a tattoo with a picture or a name.

Do you love your job?
If you have a trade which can be associated to a symbol, you can show the world who you are. A knife and fork for a chef, a knife for a butcher, a feather for a writer, a paint brush for an artist…. The list of trade tattoos is very long! Or a great tattoo for a cupcake decorator!




What are you passionate about?
If your hobby is a big part of your life, go and show it to the world with a tattoo. But if you change your hobby quite often or if you are young, then avoid doing this. You might not be a fan of your electric guitar in 20 years!

Justin Bieber Shows Off Tattoo

The young singer from Stratford, Ontario has been showing off his tattoo. But is he too young to have a tattoo? Well, he would be too young to have a tattoo in the UK as he is under 18. But we all know he's a very mature young man.

The teen singing sensation revealed the tattoo when he went to the beach. The tattoo is on his lower stomach. It is quite small and it's a little bird flying off? Maybe a way to express a wish for freedom?


It is believed the tattoo was done at Son of a Gun Tattoo Parlor in Toronto, Canada.

Spider Man Fan gets Spider Tattoo

Clearly, we all love Spider Man but you 'll have to really love spiders to get a large spider tattoo like this !



The basket ball star is Darren Moore, a 6-3 senior guard for UC Irvine, and, you would have guessed, a Spider Man fan. He's been a huge fan of Spider Man, mainly the comic books, since he was young. And he translated this into an awesome tattoo and certainly, a very unique tattoo in basketball.

Darren Moore also likes to draw and loves art and he helped design the spider tattoo and the web. He had been thinking about this for a while and wanted a tattoo quite unique.

A friend of his recommend to do the tattoo on the chest, where he still had space and soon after, he was in the tattoo shop getting it done. It was painful but worth it!

Now, some of the fans watching him play basketball call him Spider Man or Spidey.

Darren Moore got his first tattoo when he was 18 years old. It was a "God’s Child" cross design on his right arm. Since then, tattoos have become a passion and it really suits him. He's great at art and at basketball and we'll be seeing more of him!

She's done a really good job but then again, we all know she has a good sense for fashion and style. The new tattoo has got a strong meaning.

Ozzy Osbourne Regrets Silly Tattoo

The Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne is famous for his appearance and sense of style. However, like so many other rock stars, he has admitted that he might have gone too far with his tattoos. He confirmed that tattoos can be addictive. We heard the same words from Jodie Marsh not so long ago. Ozzy Osbourne also confirmed that he regrets some of the tattoos he had done when he was much younger.


Once again, this should serve as a warning to anyone under the age of 18 who wants a tattoo. It's best to wait than have regrets later as tattoos will be on your skin for the rest of your life.

The Prince of Darkness even told his daughter Kelly Osbourne to wait before getting inked. He told her to be careful not to follow fashion too closely as this can lead to regrets.


He even described one of his tattoos, a smiley face on his knee, as a mistake and the worst thing about all this, is that it hurts to get it done and it’s expensive to remove!

Expensive Tattoos - Gold or PlatiniumTattoos

Dubai is famous for expensive cars and houses, luxury hotels and gold jewellery. Today, there’s a new way to flash your money in Dubai, and show your fashion style. You can get a very special and flash tattoo. The latest fashion accessory for the style-conscious party-goer in Dubai is a temporary tattoo made of real gold!




A new business in Dubai is offering temporary 24-carat gold tattoos as the ideal body jewellery for weddings and special occasions at a starting price of $50 (31 pounds), not such a bad investment considering the current rate for gold. Obviously, larger and more intricate design can reach hundreds, even thousands of pounds. This is body art for the rich and the fashion conscious!

Precious Skin has two outlets in Dubai -- one at the luxury, sail-shaped Burj Al Arab hotel -- which will design and apply body tattoos made of 99.9 percent gold or platinum to add a bit of glitz to your style.

You would be forgiven for thinking it was invented in Dubai but it was actually imported from Japan by Flambeau Luxury Trading and Precious Skin.

How does it work?
When doing an ink tattoo, the ink is injected underneath the skin. The technique for a gold tattoo is different. A thin film of gold or platinum is used to make the tattoo which is then applied to the skin and can last for up to a week.

Both men and women in Dubai are said to be embracing this new fashion accessory. Soon to be seen in New York, Hoolywood and London? There is no doubt that gold tattoos will be seen again!

A Tattoo for Harry Potter!

The Harry Potter crew arrives in London today for the world premiere of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One", the penultimate film which, along with next year's second part, will spell the end of the young wizard's famous adventures. The seventh and final Harry Potter book has been split into two films and the second half is due to be released in July 2011.

For Daniel Radcliffe who has played Harry Potter for the past ten years, it will be the end of long era. But it is also time for him to rediscover a new freedom and move on to other roles.

The end of the contract also means freedom to do different things for Rupert Grint who plays Ron in the movies. And one of the first things the actor mentioned is that it might be time to get a tattoo!

"A tattoo sounds quite cool, maybe of Dan's face," joked Rupert Grint, 22, when asked what he will do when he no longer plays Ron.

Emma Watson, who plays Hermione, has a few more ideas about what she wants to do and she might move away from acting. She will continue to be the face of Burberry.

10 years is a long time to dedicate to a character and they all started really young. Now is time to start a new page for the 3 heros and with so many wild animals in the movies, the first stop might be at the tattoo shop for a snake tattoo or a dragon tattoo!

X Factor Cher Lloyd is getting a new tattoo!

"Sorry Simon, I'm getting a new tattoo!" This what X Factor young star Chel Lloyd is claiming loud and clear. She won't be intimidated by Simon Cowell or anyone else who want to tell her to wait for when she turns 18 to get more ink. She already has 3 tattoos but in the UK, it is illegal to get a tattoo when you are under 18 and she is only 17!

Now Cher Lloyd is asking fans for inking suggestions. She is planning to defy Simon Cowell by adding another tattoo to her collection. X Factor favortie Cher already has a musical note on her left hand (not unlike Cheryl Cole) as well the quote 'Bolsillo Lleno De Suenos' (Spanish for "a pocket full of dreams") on her right arm, and also a bow on her lower back.


What can we suggest? Maybe she could get a tattoo of her star sign? or a tattoo of a tiger as she's like a little tiger on stage. Or maybe a tattoo of the number 1 ....for the number 1 hit she will surely get one day!

Official Tattoos Advice Issued in Wales

The rise in unsafe tattoos has pushed Public Health Wales to issue an official advice to all young people about the dangers of illegal tattooing.

It is a reminder that tattoing anyone under 18 is illegal in the UK. Unfortunately, a widespread abuse of the law has been revealed.

The health advice body is issuing new leaflets to be distributed in schools. It is a reminder that using a registered tattooist will reduce the risk of infection at the site, blood poisoning and also catching serious viruses such as Hepatitis B and C and HIV.

Also using an illegal tattoo shop can leave you very very disappointed with a nasty looking tattoo!!

Kat Von D has revealed her love for Jesse James a month ago. Now Kat Von D is talking about her relationship again to dismiss reports that she has split up with Jesse James.




The LA Ink star got together with Sandra Bullock's former husband earlier this year. But speculation was sparked that she had reunited with ex-boyfriend Nikki Six after being spotted out with him.

However, the 28-year-old said that far from getting back with the musician, she is still very much an item with James. She says that people don't really know him but once you get to know him, he's a brilliant guy, smart, full of love and passion. They obviously share a passion for tattoos.....and attention seeking. Sounds like love!

Jesse James cheated on his wife, actress Sandra Bullock over 11 months. They are now divorced and Sandra is moving on. She won't be getting her next tattoo from Kat Von D for sure.

Kat who is a great business woman, was out yesterday in New York signing copies of her new book - The Tattoo Chronicles. In the book, Kat reveals more about the men in her life, including excerpts from her "blood books," journals she kept while dating Sixx, who is now a friend. She also talks about tattoos and her clients stories and her tattoo shop. A must read for all the fans of LA INK, London Ink and all the tattoo shows on TV.

Trust your Friends to Tattoo?

Can you really trust you friends to tattoo what they want on your back? It seems to be a definite NO for this poor guy who ends up with a permanent penis - in ink- on his back! He's planning to spend the rest of his life with this horrible tattoo when all he wanted was a Yin and Yang symbol!


The 25-year-old Australian victim was visiting the amateur tattoo artist at the man's home last week when he was convince to get a new tattoo. The poor victim wanted a yin and yang symbol on his back, but he got a lot more than what he came in for...a 16-inch tattoo of a penis with an obscene gesture instead.

The amateur tattoo artist, a 21-year-old Australian man, has been charged with assault and causing bodily harm. It is believed he did the rude tattoo as a revenge. The man with the large penis on his back now has to find a tattoo removal treatment such as laser tattoo removal in order to remove the rude tattoo.

Tip of the day: don't get a tattoo from someone who wants revenge on you!

Jodie Marsh is happy with her new job as a Tattoo Artist

Jodie Marsh recently appeared in a TV Documentary on Discovery "Jodie Marsh Tattoo Apprentice". The documentary was about her becoming a tattoo artist. She took a crash course under Louis Molloy, who is David Beckham’s tattooist and with Viper Studio Tattoo shop in East London.

She's confirmed she's quite happy to be spending hours learning to tattoo rather than spend hours partying like she used to.
She is moving from glamour modeling to concentrate on her new passion of body-art. She believes that she was born to become a tattoo artist.

Jodie had her first tattoo when she was 17 years old and she instantly became hooked on the pain, and the healing involved and she loves how her tattoos make her feel. And she has loads. Most of them, including the pin up designed by Louis Molloy are great tattoos on a great body.

X Factor Cher Lloyd Tattoo

Will she be famous for her tears, her tattoos or for winnig the X factor 2010?
Cher Lloyd is getting a lot of good reviews for her massive performance on Saturday when she impressed Simon Cowell and the other X factor judges.

Everyone is also noticing her tattoos. At just 17, she's legally too young to have any tattoos, but the X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd already has three tattoos on her body.

We could see one tattoo, a music note, on her left hand during the show. She also revealed another one on her right arm which reads 'Bolsillo Lleno De Suenos'. It is Spanish for "pocketful of dreams". Very appropriate for the little star in the making. It is also a lyric from the Jay-Z and Alicia Keys duet Empire State Of Mind.

Her ex-boyfriend Alex Wallis - who split from Cher in August - said: 'She doesn't speak Spanish, she just thought it looked pretty and loved that song.'



The third tattoo is said to be a bow on her lower back.

In an interview, Cheryl-lookalike Cher admitted she doesn't mind the comparisons between her and her idol Cheryl Cole. And Cheryl also has tattoos although she waited to be 18 to get them.

In the UK, the law states it is an offence to tattoo anyone under the age of 18. She won't be put in jail because she has had 3 tattoos already and she is only 17 but she is not showing a good example. It is best to wait a few years to get a tattoo and really think about it for a long time. It will save you having regrets and then needing a cover up or laser tattoo removal to get rid of a quick impulsive teenage decision. Our advice is always to live with the idea for a few months to make sure you are still happy with it before you have it done.

We watched her last night on discovery as she makes her journey in the world of tattoo artist.
Great TV!

BBC questions do it yourself tattoos

Would you tattoo yourself using a DIY kit? This is the headline of the story unveiled by the BBC today in this article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-10713587.

The BBC has revealed that more and more young people are using DIY kits to create their own tattoos...with no protection and no experience.

Tattoos are more popular than ever and there is increase pressure to have one, especially among young people. One surveys says that 1 in 3 has a tattoo in the UK.

More people are taking things into their own hands and tattooing themselves using various cheap methods. This was confirmed by tattoo artists who say they see more and more people walking in asking for a cover up of a really bad home made design. Many have been done with kits bought over the Internet for as little £60, mainly from China. The risk is high as this can lead to infection....and regrets!

Think twice before going for a DIY tattoo. It's definitely best to save up and have it done by a pro!!

It's not the first tattoo for Wayne Rooney as he already has other tattoos on his back and arms but not has many as Beckham who is really passionate about tattoos and has so many all over his body. Victoria even had to warn him to leave some bare skin left for her as the whole of David's body was gradually being taking over by tattoos.

Vagina Tattoo

No, we're talking about a tattoo on a very very sensitive part of the body. We're talking about Amanda Seyfried's new tattoo. She says that her new tattoo means vagina and she is proud of it. I guess we have seen it all and it's not a mistake. This is what she wanted as a tattoo.

AMANDA SEYFRIED'S penchant for kissing girls is well known (she enjoys lesbian kisses) but the Mamma Mia star has been describing the reason why she had the word 'vagina' tattooed on her body.

"It's my nickname". You can't see it, but it's called Minge and it's slang in England.

The actress also revealed she would like her next girl full on kiss to be with the actress Julie Christie. But maybe she just says all this things to get her boyfriend really excited?

Nicole Richie Regrets over Tattoo


Nicole Richie says she now regrets having tattoos and piercings. Now that Nicole is a mother of two and has a more mature life, she regrets the wild mistakes from her youth. The wife of Joel Madden says she is embarrased by the scars on her body but aht she will keep her three tattoos - on her neck, her back and her foot.

She removed her belly button piercing when she was pregnant. She said that she is feeling more mature now and also more confident from her relationship with her husband and the love of her children. She doesn't need the confidence boost of tattoos on her skin to make her feel sexy and attractive. I believe her children will have a hard time convincing her to let them have a tattoo when they grow up.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo


This new movie is just coming out and it's not set in a tattoo shop in London or in Miami. It's set in a cold place with not much ink action!

The movie is bBased on the first book from the Millennium trilogy, by the Swedish journalist Stieg Larsson. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is set in Sweden. The film version has managed to cover most of the book's salient points which is very impressive.

The director of this thriller, Niels Arden Oplev, is taking us for a very unpleasant holiday in a very cold and dark Sweden and we are not dealing with beautiful blonde women but with serial killers and dirty family secrets. We start with the search for Harriet who went missing 40 years ago, aged 16. Her family wants to find the murderer but the investigation is slow and difficult until they get help from someone special - the girl with the dragon tattoo, Lisbeth (Noomi Rapace).

Don’t be put off by the black hair and piercings; she’s the one with the talent to find the truth. With the help from the girl with the dragon tattoo, we start to find out more about this sordid city which lead to the uncovering of a series of brutal murders. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a great thriller and with enough suspense to make you want to know who the killer is, unless you have read the novel before.

Peter Andre Starts Laser Treatment on Katie Tattoo


We were discussing this week the celebration of 50 years of LASER and the many ways we now use LASER in our daily lives. One of the many uses of laser is tattoo removal surgery and this is what Peter Andre has decided to do on is Katie Tattoo.

Although we all thought for a while that the couple would eventually get back together, it is now sure that it's not going to happen. Katie has married again to new husband Alex Reid, 34, and Peter needs to move on. Part of the process of moving on is also removing the tattoos. He's not the first man to have to make his way to the laser clinic to have a tattoo removed.

The Aussie singer, 37, has already had the first of three laser sessions needed to remove the tattoo. Last year, he still wanted to keep the word "Katie" tattoo despite the split. He was probably still thinking about his ex too much to commit to laser surgery but after a few months of dealing with the break-up and the many requests from Katie, 31, Peter decided it was time to have it done and he booked into a tattoo removal clinic for a £240 course of laser treatment.

He wants to move on and removing the tattoo is his way of doing it. Katie also has a tattoo of Peter's name on her wrist. She decided to have it covered rather than have surgery using a laser to remove the tattoo. She had it covered with a black cross a few weeks after the break-up.

50 years of LASER

We are celebrating 50 Years of Laser Innovation and to mark the occasion, there are plenty of exhibition organised to tell us more about the laser and its use in everyday life.

The laser was not discovered from a single breakthrough by one individual, but from a series of developments from Albert Einstein who first developed the idea in 1917, which was later experimented and verified, to other scientists who then completed the research which led to the first patent for a laser awarded in March 1960.

There are plenty of examples to illustrate the numerous applications of laser in our daily lives, such as computer transmissions via fiber optics, DVDs, CDs, laser surgery, measurements, advanced hair removal, reading a barcode or removing a tattoo. In other words, laser technology is impossible to escape.
When it was first invented, no one was sure how this technology would be used. Today, the laser is used as a scientific research tool and in thousands of commercial applications.

When it comes to removing a tattoo, the best options at the moment are covering, ie creating a new tattoo over the existing one to hide it or laser therapy. Laser tattoo removal is not 100% return to your skin tone but enough to leave only a few very faint lines.

By the way, what does LASER stand for? Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. That will impress your friends just as much as your new tattoo.

HIV fight before World Cup

We remember that many call girls made their way to Berlin during the Olympic Games. That's when we were told by the press that a major sporting even, means a lot of new tourists in town which mean a great demand for holiday romance or casual sex.

In June, South Africa will host a major sporting event and Britain has committed to send 42 million condoms to South Africa in order to help fight HIV before the World Cup.

An estimated 5.7 million South Africans are living with HIV. That's about 20% of all adults. There are about 1,400 new HIV infections and nearly 1,000 Aids deaths every day.

President Jacob Zuma has asked for help to make sure the World Cup does not end up in a health disaster. Britain is responding to the request and will give 42m condoms to South Africa as part of an HIV prevention drive before the start of the World Cup in June 2010.

It is estimated that up to half a million visitors will travel to the country for the event.

London Marathon - 6 weeks to go

Yes, we're almost there. Only 6 weeks to the London Marathon and many stars are training for sport relief.

Well, if you plan to run the London Marathon...think now about what to wear! it's a showcase of bodies from skinny to very very fit and you can show off your new tattoo if you wear the right gear. It has to be practical for running and also sexy! or at least try and make it trendy. Who wants to look like a turnip in front of the cameras? You will be sweating a lot too so you need to think carefully about your makeup. I won't be running because of the baby and it's not a good idea to run when you are pregnant.


The Virgin London Marathon is part of the WORLD MARATHON MAJORS, an official competition which gathers 5 major marathons around the world: New York, Chicago, Boston, London and Berlin !

The record for the London Marathon: 2 hours 05 minutes and 10 seconds in 2009 by Kenyan Sammy Wanjiru (1'11" from the world record of 2 hours 03'59").





If you want to rise to the challenge, I hope you have been training for some time. It's a bit late to get in shape before the big day. But we look forward to check out the legs and bodies and see who's had a new tattoo since last year.

Spelling Mistakes in Tattoos


Tattoo artists are being asked to pay more attention to spelling, especially when it comes to Sanskrit tattoos. It seems that 2 of our favourite stars have had a tattoo done in Sanskrit...with a spelling mistake. Rihanna has 2 tattoos with spelling mistakes. and "Victoria" on the arm (left) of David Beckham is spelled like Vihctoria.



British footballer Theo Walcott is the latest footballer to join David Beckham to the “Sanskrit Tattoo Club”. On the inside of his right arm, he has a tattoo meaning "Beautiful, Blessed, Strong, Intelligent”. “Beautiful” is dedicated to his sister Hollie, “blessed” for his father Don, “strong” for his brother Ashley, and “intelligent” for his mother Lynn. Wow, he has a nice family !

Heavy Snowfall Increased Online Traffic


What do we do when we’re stuck at home for days and that the snow keeps on falling? Well it seems that a lot of us turn to the internet and a large percentage of us use the internet to look for romance. Why not make the most of the unexpected spare time!

Online dating sites have benefited from the huge snowfalls that covered the UK and we want to cheer up and warm up by looking for love. While millions of people could not make it to work, they decided to make the most of it and try to make new friends online. British people - singles and married alike - have been checking out online dating services, with some discovering the delight of making new friends online. However, escort girls had fewer bookings as clients could not go out and travel to be entertained.


Both Mysinglefriend.com and Singles365.com, two of the UK's largest online dating sites, have revealed that the snow has been a bit of a bonus for traffic on the sites. But don't wait for the winter weather to find your soul mate. The best dating sites are open 24/7 and packed with singles looking for new experience and love.

Chanel Temporary tattoo

During the latest show to reveal the Chanel collection for 2010 we spotted a few models with lovely temporary tattoos.

Channels interlaced designs around wrists or ankles were created for the show by Peter Philips, International Director of makeup creation for Chanel. These tattoos are temporary tattoos and they have been so successful during the show that Chanel is launching a line of fake tattoos.

The new collection of tattoos is scheduled for March 2010, with drawings of chains, beads, flowers, or the Chanel trademark logo.

These fake tattoos called "The trompe l'oeil Chanel" will be sold £50 for a batch of 5 and there will be something for all body parts.

Basically, we already now that if you want to be hype this summer, you dress will be short and flowery and you will be wearing one of the Chanel tattoos with your best outfit. This is yet another sign that tattoos are hot and very very fashionable at the moment.
