You can now flaunt some serious bling on your body, thanks to the newest trend of glitter tattoo and tattoo jewelry. These gold tattoos are temporary, lasting anywhere between three to seven days. They look very pretty and you can get creative with their placement, getting them on your ankles or on your collarbone. These sparkly tattoos are emerging to be the hottest new thing. People are doing them at birthday parties, weddings, and other events and the guests are loving it.
Glitter tattoos come in some very interesting and intricate designs. You have a selection of tribal motifs and geometric patterns on one end and designs that look like actual pieces of jewelry at the other end. With customers being so spoilt for choice, it is no wonder that tattoo jewelry is touted as the next big thing. Even Hollywood celebrities have been spotted sporting it on the red carpet.

What is It Made of?
The regular temporary gold tattoos are made of dermatologically tested glitter. This is then mixed with a solution and then painted onto the skin. You also have temporary gold tattoos that come in pre-designed sheets. These have to be applied like regular temporary tattoos, by pressing onto the skin; the design gets transferred from the sheet to the skin.
Alternatively, we have the luxurious real gold tattoo. Here, designers use real gold to paint the designs. These are popular amongst brides as it makes them feel special.
How to remove a Tattoo?
Since these tattoos are temporary, they fade away after a week or so. If you want to remove them sooner, all you have to do is to rub on some olive oil onto the tattoo, leave it on for a minute or so and wipe away with a warm damp cloth.
