Review (5/5): The Latest Fashion Accessory!
When I was a child I was a huge fan of temporary tattoos. I would always stop at the gumball machine to get one, and immediately want to put it on. I am now an adult, and it has been a good 15 years since I wore a temporary tattoo, so when I was given the chance to try these Voodoo Tattoos I jumped on it!
These metallic tattoos have the simplicity of the temporary tattoos we used to cover ourselves with as children, yet they have a more grown up, adult appeal. Some of the tattoos resemble pieces that one might actually get tattooed on themselves, and other pieces mimic jewelry. Over the past week I have been reliving my childhood and rocking these tattoos on a daily basis. I have to say that it has been a very fun process! These tattoos go onto the skin very easily. I have not had any problems with parts of the tattoo not transferring, or sliding around. 15 seconds of holding water on the paper backing and it easily adhered to my skin. The 3 colors I had on my Petra sheet are gold, silver and a few black tattoos. It has pieces that look like chain, so you can wear it as a bracelet, anklet, or necklace. I even cut one of them to make it into a ring. There are smaller tattoos which you can add next to the chain to make it look like a pendant, or add a few and create the charm look.
These are great to wear for nights out, or for photos. I can only imagine that these would also be very fun to use with summer outfits! They are like your standard temporary tattoo, after about 2 days they start loosing their fresh look, and by day 4 they are fully gone. Removing them is very easy, doesn't take a whole lot of scrubbing, or a mix of harsh chemicals. Just a few scrubs with soap and water and they come off. I tried removing a fresh tattoo and one that had been on for 2 and a half days, and both removed easily.
I do have 1 little tip to pass along. After you apply your tattoo, let it sit for a good 10-15 minutes before touching, or putting clothing over it. Give it plenty of time to dry and I found the results to be better!
I really enjoy these, I cannot wait to try the other sheets available from Voodoo Tattoo!
