Tattoos have been gaining in popularity over the last decade. According to a survey taken by Pew Research Center in 2006, 36% of Americans aged 18 to 25 have at least one tattoo (more than 1 in 3) and 40% of those aged 26 to 40 have at least one tattoo. Designers such as Rodarte, Jean Paul Gaultier, Marchesa and Chanel all embraced the look of tattoos for their 2010 Spring/Summer shows.
If you are not up for the pain or permanence of a real tattoo opt for Les Trompe L’Oeil de Chanel, Fifty-five exclusive temporary tattoos, originally hand-drawn by Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, for the Spring-Summer 2010 Fashion Show in Paris available March 1st at chanel.com. The pack sells for $75 and contains images of Chanel symbols and icons, including Oriental cherry blossoms and birds to apply to wrists, shoulders and ankles.
Marchesa spring show included tattoo hosiery instead of temporary skin art. This line has not yet been released but you can find tattoo hosiery at local Atlanta department stores such as Dillards, Macy’s or Junkman’s Daughter in Little Five Points. For the most intricate designs go to bebaroque.co.uk, this brand won the Scottish Accessory Designer of the Year for Vogue.com in 2008.
