Old-fashioned prejudices about tattoos have been left in the past, in fact, tattoos have become a new trend in jewelry fashion with more public acceptance and rapid international growth. Tattoos have a number of advantages over traditional jewelry, including the facility of “do it yourself”. Just wait a minute, making your own tattoo jewelry does not mean that you are qualified to tattoo your own skin. However, there are publications on the market explaining how to make temporary tattoos by designing your creation and transfers that you apply on your skin, which are easily removable with water. 

Some other “tattoo” jewelry is made of gems, natural spices, seeds and grains that you have in your kitchen, although, this is more likely considered a type of external craftsmanship. However, many people are still using the procedure that sailors and prisoners applied to themselves in order to be tattooed: “write-on” the skin. Although not a healthy, aesthetic or accurate practice, the ink of a regular pen, when it touches the skin over and over and over, makes it possible to have a semi-permanent tattoo, remaining for longer as long as the procedure is repeated. However, you do not need to use that primitive technique when modern technology is by your side. 

Fine bracelets and chokers can be tattooed by expert artisans. This work does not require the care of a real jewelry, whether fine or fantasy jewelry. By using special, innocuous pigments, your tattoo can simulate solid gold or silver filigree, and even precious gems. The accuracy of the modern equipment allows experts to draw a detailed Egyptian Cartouche Pendant over your chest. The price of this type of jewel is not only paid with money but with time. The more complex the designs, the more hours it takes in drawing it before tattooing it. 

Of course, the advantage is that you can wear your jewel anywhere, anytime… or the disadvantage if you do not need to show off your tattoos in an environment where tattooing is not yet totally accepted. To avoid this, perhaps it is more convenient to receive a little flower or butterfly tattooed on your ankle as many women do.  There are some places specialized in both, piercing body jewelry and non-piercing jewels, including tribal armband tattoos, toe rings, body’s gemstone tattoos jewelry, and other casual tattoo wearing. If you are unsure about tattoo jewelry, perhaps it is better having a temporary tattoo, such as the temporary reusable breast tattoos, very popular at the beach.
