Halle Berry joining Instagram almost 3 years ago was a gift to social media. Her feed is so artistically curated with interesting and moody photos. It’s no surprise she used this medium to show off a new tattoo. She posted a photo of herself facing away from the camera, with an egg in her left hand and a frying pan in the right. The focus isn’t on her culinary skills though, it’s the large stem down her spine with leaves on each side. It’s beautiful and elegant and big, yet very Halle Berry.
The 52-year-old beauty captioned the photo, “Who says I’m not a mermaid” cheekily referencing her sequin bottoms while ignoring her new art. While some think it’s very real, others assumed it’s temporary and even potentially for a role. Nevertheless, it’s hot! If you’re interested in the ink, but don’t want any of the commitment, check out our options for 5 types of temporary tattoos.
FLASH TATTOOS
Flash tattoos started the whole metallic tattoo obsession. Lots of celebs, including Beyoncé, would adorn their skin with these tattoos. The company even had a collab with the star! They have great selections for kids and I love the way they organize the website. You can shop by your likes (Fashionistas, Beauty Addicts, Gifts Under $20.00) and there is even an option for nail art tattoos starting at $7.50.
MR. KATE
Mr. Kate has been my go-to for over a few years now and one of my little beauty secrets to really up a look for an event. The company has apparel, jewelry, stationery, and more…but what I like best about them is their temporary tattoos.
They have metallic temporary tattoos and even temporary “freckles” ($14.00, shop.mrkate.com). The ones that I’m using above is Beauty Marks ‘The New Makeup’ Original ($14.00, shop.mrkate.com). They also come in silver.
INKBOX TATTOOS
Inkbox Tattoos are the perfect solution if you are looking for a natural looking tattoo. These tattoos are definitely it. Unlike temporary tattoos which are more like stickers, these tattoos actually sink into your skin and will fade within 18 days as your skin regenerates. The company was started based on the fact that we are always changing, so why couldn’t our tattoos too? Prices start at $16.00 and go to $20.00. They have freehand ink ($20.00, inkbox.com) for people that want to make their own tattoos (and it dries within an hour)…and want to know the precision of this company? It even comes with shading ink ($13.00, inkbox.com).
TATTLY
Tattly is a female-led company that’s kinda like a one-stop shop for tattoos. They use real artists and give them a cut of every sale. They have metallic tattoos, scented tattoos, pairs, and more. They have various price points with tattoos starting at $5.00.
LITOGRAPHS
Book lovers…get ready to geek out. Litographs is a Boston based company that focuses on…words! While they have your favorite literary quotes on totes and t-shirts, they also offer temporary word tattoos.
