Ah, yes, the tattoo, hated by parents of 19-year-old university students everywhere because their kids come home at Christmas with big ol' rose/butterfly/silly tribal tattoos. But now everyone can get inked with tattoo tape.

Sure it is fake, but only fools get [real tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattoo-maker-ai) (this fool included), and it is silly (as tattoo tape is literally a tape dispenser for [press-on tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialbuy-temporary-tattoos)). But heck, it is better than having the words to the ‘Thong Song’ on you forever.
