Temporary tattoos and permanent make-up
It’s official, in Melbourne it’s weird not to have any tattoo, especially if you work or live in certain hipster areas. I thoroughly enjoy tattoos on others, especially if they’re about Harry Potter, because that’s the best icebreaker ever despite what the boyfriend says.
I was almost considering getting one myself. Alas, I can’t commit placing a sticker on anything, never mind permanently inking my body. I thought the most sensible thing to do would be to get a temporary tattoo, especially since they have gotten exponentially better in the most recent years. Could you imagine me with a death eater’s mark on my forearm? It’s going to be either that, or a steampunk octopus on my leg. Ideally cool, practically not so much.
Getting a tattoo is like majoring in Philosophy. If you have any doubt it’s not the right thing as you will blame yourself for the consequence.
That’s real wisdom right there.
The moral of the story is, not everyone is tattoo inclined.
Or ‘ink-lined’. Har har!
That’s why they are making temporary something that, by nature, is permanent.
It’s interesting how, similarly, something that is supposed to wash off at the end of the day, is made more and more permanent. I am, in fact, talking about make-up.
This is actually something that the boyfriend noticed as I was explaining why I wouldn’t get a tattoo but I would consider slathering pigmented goo that claims to stain for weeks on my precious eyebrows. Isn’t that the dream?
Permanent make-up and temporary tattoos.
Why expressing yourself creatively when you could be selfie-ready anytime?
Why adorning your body with meaningful references, when you can have eyebrows on fleek for days?
Why committing to being a living work of art when you can save on make-up remover?
By the way, saving on make-up remover is a lie, the more permanent something is, the stronger the remover needs to be. Long gone are the days when I would wipe my eyeshadow away with Nivea cleansing milk. Now, I use that only at night when I haven’t worn makeup that day.
