I must admit: I’m not a big fan of kiddie tatoos. Sure, I realize they’re not the same as the permanent ink versions sported by more and more people these days (even a cool children’s librarian I know has a little one hidden on the inside of her wrist)…but the mere thought of perfect, unblemished tender skin being tainted by some silly wash-off sticker just doesn’t seem right. Maybe it’s because every birthday party goodie bag seems to contain a sheet of Dora or Diego stick-ons…where’s the originality in this so-called art? So when tattly
, a line of ultra-hip tatoos for kids and grown-ups alike, recently crossed my desk, I figured they were worth a look. Created by a team of graphic artists and lead by a Brooklyn-based designer, these temporary tatoos are nothing like the mass-market variety we’ve been seeing. From an edgy “besties” broken heart (perfect for two inseparable BFFs), to a more retro medley of ice cream truck favorites, they are plenty of choices to suit your temperamental tween’s fancy. And in honor of Easter Sunday, we’re giving a special shout-out to the Big Bunny himself with this awfully adorable tatoo. After all, sporting this cute number should score us some jelly beans, at the very least…
In a Nutshell: “Everyone’s got one…pulleezze?” If they’re begging for a tatoo, think “contemporary temporary” with this head-turning line.
