Tattoos For Posh Girls

March 12, 2010 By: romeblogger Category: Rome

Do you remember when having a tattoo was a synonym for the word lout and it was assumed that a tattooed person was somebody with a bad reputation along with a sinister life? So, nowadays, the tattoo’s tacky seafarer image is long a thing of the past. There is an endless list of celebrities getting tattoos, from models, actors, soccer players and, of course, musicians.

But you must remember that tattoos are forever and almost irreversible, unless you want to remove them with surgery, but there is a risk for your skin and the result can be a disaster.
Let me tell you about a surrealistic case, by way of illustration: Johnny Depp, in full ecstasy of love for his girlfriend in those days, Winona Ryder, he had “Winona forever” tattooed on his arm. After the broke up, he had the ‘n’ and ‘a’ surgically removed to simply say “Wino forever!” Not stylish at all, isn’t it?

Haute Couture Tattoos
Well, if you don’t want to run the risk of going through this embarrassing situation, the always surprising Karl Lagerfeld has created for this spring the first line of Chanel transfers. The result is similar to a real tattoo, in the shape of necklaces and chains featuring the brand logo and floral decorations.

The instructions for use are a bit of water, then you can choose a part of your body and that’s all… we have a temporary Chanel accessory. There are several varieties too: the iconic double C’s, chain bracelets, rosary beads and little birdies. You could choose between fifty-five different designs, packaged under the name of Les Trompe L’Oeil de Chanel that will start selling online for around 50 Euros from March 1st.
