# Handyman Decal Accessories Tools Tattoos Replace Necklaces for a More Functional Fashionable Image By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-02-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tools-tattoos References: [swiss-miss](http://www.swiss-miss.com/2013/02/tools.html) & [tattly](http://tattly.com/collections/fiona-richards) The more unusual the charm on your [pendant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-heart-necklace), the more compliments -- or at least comments -- you're likely to get on your accessorizing. Somewhat off the beaten path of fashion, these tools tattoos might inspire you to drop the delicate chain entirely and opt for a design that can be worn directly on your skin. [Temporary tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-temporary-tattoo-collection) are certainly not new, but designer Fiona Richards demonstrates more creative ways that they might be worn. In particular, the placement of her Tattly illustrations on the upper chest is quite unusual, sufficing to replace a necklace in a very modern way. The three woodsman-y tools tattoos feature a hammer, a wrench and a couple of axes. They have a masculinity about them that makes them even more iconic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Tools Tattoos:** Creating a new niche market for functional and fashionable tattoos - **Direct Skin Accessories:** Expanding the variety of wearable accessories directly on the skin - **Masculine Jewelry:** Challenging traditional gender norms in the jewelry industry ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Accessories:** Innovating in the design of accessories that combine fashion and function, creating unique customer value - **Tattoo Industry:** Diversifying tattoo designs, targeting new customer segments and expanding on temporary tattoos - **Jewelry Industry:** Offering new and unconventional designs blurring the boundaries between fashion and jewelry ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vitamin-Packed Temporary Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daily-defense-patches.md) - [Temporary Oral Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temporary-oral-tattoos.md) - [Supermarket Temporary Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialbuy-temporary-tattoos.md) - [Prom-Themed Temporary Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temporary-tattoo-prom.md) - [Vitamin-Infused Temporary Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barriere.md) - [Men's Temporary Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temporary-nails-for-men.md) - [Design-Conscious Tool Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoto-tools-hand-tool-set.md) - [Dainty Minimalist Temporary Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winterstone.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md)
