I don’t know if Coco would be rolling in her grave or if she’d love the uniqueness of the new Chanel temporary tattoos. These tats debuted at the Spring-Summer 2010 ready-to-wear runway show in Paris and were created by Peter Philips, the creative director of Chanel makeup. Personally, I think they’re great – I don’t have any tattoos myself (too permanent for moi!), but love the temporary rub-on tattoos that have the interlinked CCs, pearls, chains, blossoms and swallows – I used to wear a Chanel necklace like this and love the look of the brand’s symbols flowing down the model’s arm, like they would a necklace down the chest. The tattoos are also much more affordable than said jewelry – for $75, you get a package of five sheets that includes a total of 55 designs.  The designs, which were applied to models’ necks and wrists like jewelry, can be purchased here; but hurry, this is a limited edition item. The directions for application are simple and just like you do for any temporary tattoo: place on the skin, apply a damp cloth, let it set and voila! You’re a tattooed lady. Check them out on the newly redesigned Chanel.com and let me know what you think – worth it?
