Sun Tattoos

Tanning a Pattern of Art on Your Body

— October 7, 2007 — Art & Design
Your body is a canvas, so why not let the sun paint a patterned tan on that canvas? Designer Yu-Chiao Wang has developed a concept called the sun tattoo. She describes: "Sun Tattoo is a soft stencil which can be used for making the tattoo pattern on the skin by sunshine. It's better to use it with sunless tanning cream."

Implications - The Sun Tattoo is a unique concept that will prevent any permanent changes to your body. With an intricate pattern, the Sun Tattoo is guaranteed to turn heads. The tanned tattoo is truly a one of a kind piece that will give you a highly sought after, impermanent body modification.
Trend Themes
1. Sun Tattoo - The concept of temporary tattoos made by sunlight presents an opportunity for the body art industry to offer unique and impermanent designs.
2. Soft Stencil - The development of a soft stencil for creating tanned tattoo patterns opens up possibilities for the sunless tanning industry to collaborate with the body art industry.
3. Impermanent Body Modification - The growing popularity of impermanent body modifications, like sun tattoos, creates opportunities for the beauty and self-expression industries to offer non-permanent alternatives to traditional tattoos.
Industry Implications
1. Body Art - The concept of sun tattoos presents an opportunity for the body art industry to expand its offerings with temporary and unique designs suitable for all skin types.
2. Sunless Tanning - The development of a sun tattoo stencil that works best with sunless tanning cream offers an opportunity for the sunless tanning industry to promote innovative and artistic applications of their products.
3. Beauty - The rise of impermanent body modifications, like sun tattoos, provides an opportunity for the beauty industry to offer non-permanent alternatives and explore new creative possibilities.
