For a unique way to share your [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-7) photos with the world, there's Picattoo, a service that helps you turn your snapshots into temporary tattoos.

Launched by INK361, Picattoo turns your snapshots into tiny squares that can be printed from your account, shipped to you and then applied to your skin. In order to do this, Picattoo has you log into your account, choose some snapshots to be turned into [personalized tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-tattoo-generator1) and place an order. A set of 12 tattoos costs about $15, which makes a great gift to give an Instagram addict. Each of the tattoos is designed to last about a week and then just like posts on a news feed, they'll eventually disappear from sight. Some of the most dynamic temporary tattoos include cute pictures of pets, candid shots and scenery.
