Flash Tattoos
Beatrice Lessi
You may have recently spotted a metallic-adorned shoulder blade, wrist, or inner arm and wondered: What is this, exactly? You’re looking at Flash Tattoos, metallic temporary tattoos that last 4 to 6 days. Try one and you’ll see: not a day goes by without people asking you: what is that?
Flash tattoos are waterproof, but the more you swim or bath, the more they fade. So treat them like a kind of resistant make-up and enjoy – here some examples of how Xenia and some other boho chic girls use it. And if you need to know more about fashion.. Ask the monsters.

Hidden by your hair or simply by its position, a back decoration is an original jewel for the beach or summer party.
