While it was quite fun shocking my housemates the morning after I put this tattoo on, the ink will rub off in about a week and I haven't made any new intentional scars on my skin. One of my friends gave me this vintage camera temporary tattoo at Christmas and I saved it until now so that the ink would be visible with the maximum number of outfits. I really like the look of tattoos, but I prefer to keep my permanent ink in places easier to hide. Part of me still worries that "one day" I might want to work in an office or some other environment that would frown upon a wrist or arm tattoo. So, the only openly visible tattoos I'll be sporting right now are temporary ones. It was definitely a fun and creative gift to receive and I look forward to surprising a few more people with my new tattoo before everyone realizes it is fake.
Outfit details:
You have a smart take on tattoos. I have two tattoos on my forearm. Although I love them and they are so meaningful to me, some days I wish I could just peel them off temporarily.

Love that temporary tattoo! So cool! I sometimes really want a tattoo, but I think a temporary tattoo would be best!
ReplyDeleteLove the tattoo! Haha! Good story...
ReplyDeleteTemporary tattoos have changed so much.
ReplyDeleteI adore what you wrote in the Louise Brooks post. Words so true.
ReplyDeleteBecause comments are closed on recent post about LouLou, I tried sending via email but even though I had less than 300 characters the message I kept receiving was that I had more than 300, so I gave up. I have been a fan of Louise Brooks ever since I was 16, a fan of her acting, her looks, her style, but mostly her standing up for what she finds is fair, and just. I must say I feel quite "close" to her as I once stood up for my rights professionally and have been shunned ever since from finding a job... so no, talent and hardwork do not always make for a succes story. Bowing down to the powers that be, on the other hand, do.

Albeit temporary, it suits you so well! My trouble with tattoos is that I change my mind so much about what I would actually get and where I would put it, so I'm probably far too fickle for anything permanent.
