If you like to be first to get on board with any new trend that comes along, then you really need to find out more about nail tattoos as this is going to be absolutely huge in the year ahead. Ladies take note, French manicures and nail decals are over and completely yesterday’s news having rapidly been replaced by the latest big thing, nail tattoos. This basically involves getting the image of your choice tattooed on your finger nails; however whether you opt for just one nail on each hand or all of them is completely down to you. For the more daring, having all ten fingernails inked in this way will make you seem totally cool however the beauty of this is that unlike normal tattoos on the skin this is not permanent.
This art has the added benefit of being semi-permanent and will grow out as your nails grow however if you get bored with your chosen designs and don’t want to wait for them to grow out you can simply paint over them with nail polish! The process itself is not lengthy either, not like you would expect from the standard tattoo practice, and ten nails can be done in less than an hour. This is not a costly procedure either, working out around $5-10 or less per nail however you can be this may change as demand for this procedure grows. There are many designs to choose from too or you could even draw your own image, however the most popular tend to be things like the Chanel logo, an eye or a diamond and shapes such as the heart or star. The choice in design really is down to you so if you want something more zany like a Bart Simpson head, a Wu Tang symbol or even a slice of pizza then there is absolutely nothing to stop you.
While there are some who consider these nail tattoos rather risqué or even offensive many others see nothing morally wrong with this especially given that these tattooed ‘pictures’ will grow out in around three to five months. This trend is particularly popular with teenage girls and has the advantage of looking and feeling like the real thing but without the pain and the commitment involved in regular tattooing. As the tattooist’s needle is not penetrating the skin, only a mild sensation is felt which some describe at worst as “irritating” so this is ideal for someone who is rather nervous about the tattooing process.
