What do you think about temporary tattoos as opposed to permanent tattoos?

People have been decorating their bodies since the dawn of humanity. It's part of our psyche. The difference is the commitment to a permanent tattoo. Most people who choose a temporary tattoo want to have fun with it or fool someone. Some want to try a design to see if they like it enough to make it permanent. This is a really good idea! We've all seen the guy with the tattoo of a marijuana leaf on his neck and has been unemployed since the 1960s. If you are considering a permanent tattoo and you're still not convinced that temporary is the way to go first, do a quick Google search for "tattoo mistakes."
