Body art is a rage among people today, thanks to various celebs like David Beckham and Angelina Jolie. The most popular form of body art may be tattoos, but piercings are not far behind. These tattoos may hold emotional and personal meaning to someone, like film stars who get their spouse’s and children’s name inked on their bodies, or for some it may also be a way to make a fashion statement.

There are a few of us who want to get a tattoo, but shy away from the prospect of having a permanent inking on our skin. Keeping this in mind, Savvi, the retail division of TM International, has unveiled Skin Couture, an online store for body art lovers that features a line of sophisticated, commitment-free body art. The temporary tattoo designs are hand-drawn by professional artists, inspired from runway body art and fashion trends.

“Over the past several seasons, we’ve seen runway designers really playing up the relationship between fashion and the body,” says Skin Couture artist Samantha Gilmore. “Skin Couture designs work beautifully with a woman’s body and range from delicate to daring.” Gilmore honed her skills by designing tattoos for the New York Fashion Week 2011.

The Skin Couture collection offers 40 unique designs to add zing to any event. Each Skin Couture pack includes tattoo sheets with several designs, so that customers can repeat a favorite look or experiment with different designs and body placement.

The tattoos can be applied easily with water and last for days. Alternately, they can be removed instantly with baby oil or rubbing alcohol. Each pack also includes detailed instructions and tips, highlighting placement options and styling techniques.

 “We see celebrities and models wearing temporary tattoo designs from Chanel, Betsey Johnson, and Beyoncé’s House of Dereon,” says Skin Couture fashion specialist Lee Price. “Now, Skin Couture gives women access to these high-fashion accessories at an affordable price. Skin Couture tattoos are a fun addition to any outfit.”

The Skin Couture online shop even offers specialty designs, including jewelry-inspired designs, shimmer body art and nail tattoos. Skin Couture features a signature collection with a creative and intricate design of words, butterflies, birds, feathers and floral patterns.
The fantasy collection comes in a variety of transcripts and princess designs. Made with a lot of effort, these tattoos are convenient and trendy. Convenient because their application and removal is very easy and takes little time, and trendy because they come in very cheerful and quirky patterns.
