It’s safe to say Beyoncé has put Flash Tattoos on the map. From the beaches to the streets of fashion week, flash tats have exploded since she has been seen decorated with the metallic body adornments. With unique designs and gold, silver and black colors, these temporary tattoos have an almost tribal feel to them. They were of course popular during the festival circuit with the likes of Alessandra Ambrosio and Vanessa Hudgens sporting them at Coachella, but the shiny skin accessories really took off then B was seen sporting all types of designs and patterns; most recently spotted with an armful of them on while hopping on a plane wearing a pair of Topshop shorts and Kurt Geiger pumps. Now, given we’re into fall and these have more of a summer/beach-feel, I would dial these back a touch in the office, etc. as they will start to lose their charm when paired with big sweaters and tights. However, if you’re still savoring the last snippets of summer and want a peek-a-boo tat to show under a sheer long-sleeved top, you go right ahead…until October, then it may be weird unless they come up with a pumpkin design. What do you think? How long is too long to flash tat?
