Let’s Get Inked

Tattoos are fairly common these days, and if you've always wanted one but didn’t know what to get, didn’t want to commit, or weren’t allowed, then this is your chance! Cover yourself in realistic designs or try your hand at creating some of your own with non-permanent ink. After a few days, they’ll fade away or you can remove them yourself. Here are a few cool temporary tattoos.
