Hey my beautiful ladies! When I was little the best present you could get in a goodie bag was a temporary tattoo – bonus points to the birthday girl or boy if it had glitter on it. That fad died as we grew up and then suddenly came back in a little bit different form. If you’ve noticed geometric glints of gold and silver decorating the skin of fashionable women chances are you’re seeing a flash tattoo. Flash tattoos or metallic tattoos are shiny peal & stick temporary tattoos. These tattoos are easy to apply and perfect for creating a unique look, whether for work, for a concert weekend or for an evening out. They look just like jewelry and can be worn any way you want. You can instantly have a fancy set of gold bracelets, laurel necklaces, and festival-ready feathers that seem to float across the skin. Metallic temporary tattoos are an ideal compromise for those who want to wear jewelry to the beach but don’t want to lose or ruin it. Plus, it looks so chic, especially when combined with real jewelry.
We never thought temporary tattoos could become fancy, but there you have it.

So, how do they work? The application process is very similar to how you would press on a normal temporary tattoo. All you need to apply the flash tattoos is a wet cloth. Make sure your skin is dry and oil free, simply cut, remove clear protection layer and stick down to the chosen area. Hold a wet cloth against the tat for 30 seconds and wait about 10 minutes for it completely set on your skin then peel. Your glittery optical illusion will last for 4-6 days. When you’re ready for a change, coconut oil or rubbing alcohol takes them off.
