MAC and Comme Des Garcons are the power couple we didn’t know we needed. With tattooed models becoming the latest hot trend to hit the runways, Comme des Garcons has decided to launch a temporary tattoo kit with MAC. Now, we know what you’re thinking, “aren’t temporary tattoos supposed to be for when you’re twelve and want to feel like a baddie?” Not anymore.

The era of nervously contemplating what tattoo to get is over. These tattoos are the first of their kind— realistic and colorful, yet not long-lasting or painful.

For a long time, tattoos were mostly associated with criminals and punk culture. As a result, our society started to perceive tattoos as negative. Thankfully, however, times are changing, and now we even see high fashion models repping tattoos on the runway.

So how are these genius tattoos created? It’s quite simple, really. They’re made using various MAC products, including about a million different long-lasting eyeliners and finishing powder.

But even though these tattoos are made up of makeup products, they’re still designed to mimic real tattooed skin. In other words, the tattoos will look slightly faded as they do in real life, emphasizing the idea that tattooed skin is “body literature” rather than “body paint.”

Right now, we live in a diverse social sphere where people are not only struggling to have their voices heard but also fighting to find them. It’s true, it’s a cruel world, but tattoos allow people to express themselves in their own distinct ways. Tattoos are a way for people to voice their different perspectives, and they help make life more exciting.

Tattoos allow individuals to express their individuality, distinctive personalities, and unique talents with everyone around them. In fact, we applaud these individuals for not being afraid to be who they are.

In the past decade, people have slowly realized how authentic, edgy, and inclusive tattoos can be, which has made them fashionable as opposed to punk. So if you ask us, tattoos are now high fashion, and this tattoo kit is making them more accessible than ever.
