As tattoo culture is making the shift from counterculture to the mainstream, numerous innovations are arising in the form of subscription services, personal tattoo machines, [augmented reality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inkstory) and radical changes to familiar temporary tattoo ink formulas.

As well as being impressive for these reasons, the tattoos also have a striking resemblance to a real tattoo, making it possible to have the look of a real tattoo, without having to making a permanent commitment to a particular [temporary tattoo design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-temporary-tattoo-collection).
