Tattoos for Commitment-Phobes

The 'Tattoo Shop' iPhone App Takes the Pain out of Permanent Marking

— May 20, 2010 — Art & Design
The 'Tattoo Shop' iPhone app is a not-so-permanent way to experiment with both crazy and tame designs. After uploading a photo, you can choose from a variety of different tattoo categories to "try on" different areas of your body.

This awesome 'Tattoo Shop' iPhone app lets you get an idea of how the potential permanent mark will look before actually getting yourself inked. Check out the gallery for this iPhone app's features.

Implications - xx
The Tattoo Shop app is every parent's dream and worst nightmare. While it might help disuade teens and youngins from tatting up permanently, or doing something they regret, the ability to see the design before you do it may in fact push them in the opposite direction.
Trend Themes
1. Temporary Tattoo Trend - The popularity of temporary tattoos is on the rise as people look for a way to experiment with different designs before committing to a permanent one.
2. Virtual Try-on Trend - Virtual try-on apps, like the Tattoo Shop iPhone app, are becoming more popular as people seek to visualize how a product or experience will look before making a decision.
3. Personalization Trend - The Tattoo Shop app taps into the trend of personalization by allowing users to choose from a variety of different tattoo categories and try them on different areas of their body.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty and Personal Care - The beauty and personal care industry can capitalize on the temporary tattoo trend by offering a wide range of temporary tattoo designs and kits.
2. Technology - The technology industry can take advantage of the virtual try-on trend by developing more advanced and realistic virtual try-on apps for various products and experiences.
3. E-commerce - The e-commerce industry can tap into the personalization trend by offering customizable products and experiences, such as personalized temporary tattoo designs and virtual try-on features for different products.
