I've got serious commitment issues when it comes to tattoos. For the last few years, I've contemplated taking the step toward permanent ink, but it all seems so, well, concrete. I often think about how much I wish tattoos were like cars that you could test-drive until I realize that they . . . kind of are. There are plenty of brands out there that specialize in temporary tattoos that you apply without the added pain, stress, or commitment. I'll warn you, though, that these definitely aren't the same kind of temporary tats we used to wear as kids — they're better!
From tattoos that'll add a pop of color to everything you do to realistic designs made by actual artists, read ahead to check out a few places where you can purchase temporary tattoos that look real.

Flash Tattoos
Flash Tattoos spawned as a company selling metallic tattoos that were made to look like jewelry, and they were wildly popular among festival-goers. Since then, the brand has expanded its range to include temporary tattoos inspired by pop culture and current events and even special collections designed by celebrities and influencers.
