Temporary metallic tattoos are popping up everywhere! We've seen them on our style icons like Queen Bey and Vanessa Hudgens! Most celebrities advertise Flash Tattoos which are on the pricier side with packs ranging from $20-$25, which averages to about $5-$7 per sheet depending. I know that doesn't seem like much but instead of paying that much for something that will eventually wash away in a matter of days, I decided to hunt down these metallic tattoos for a fraction of the price.

Listed below are a couple places where I found these metallic tattoos for reasonable prices.

1. Charming Charlie: Temporary Tattoos (Contains 2 sheets)- $8.00
   
   
2. Marshalls: Stellar Metallic Jewelry Tattoos (Contains 2 sheets)- $4.99
   
   
3. Pacsun: With Love From CA Flash Tattoos (Contains 2 sheets)- $6.97
   
   
4. Sephora: Shine Beautifully Metallic Gold Temporary Tattoos (Contains 3 sheets) - $10.00
   
   
5. Tilly’s: Metallic Temporary Tattoo Packs (Contains 2 sheets)- $6.99
   
   
6. Ulta: Capelli New York Tattoo Gold Combo (Contains 2 sheets) - $9.50

I purchased mine from Marshalls and Tilly’s. (shown below)

These tattoos can be seen as more than  “just” temporary tattoos. They act as accessories, like armbands, bracelets, necklaces and rings. And since you don't have to worry about dropping them or tarnishing them (as they naturally fade on their own), they have become a beach/poolside and concert/festival must have. These tattoos give off a  naturalistic earthy feel with their  intricate patterns and the simplicity of these tattoos have the ability to transform even the simplest outfit into a unique fashion statement. 

They will surely stick around from here on out and all through summer! Don’t forget to grab yours soon, Spring break is going on now!
