Cool Gift of the Day
Monday, July 18, 2005
What it is:
A temporary tattoo paint set, with everything needed for cool custom tattoos.
Why we love it:
Sometimes it's fun to be bad. Oh sure, there are downsides to being a bad boy (or girl), and chances are the lifestyle of an outlaw biker, or mobster, isn't all it's cracked up to be, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun to flirt with danger from time to time. Even the most staid and responsible folks want to at least pretend to be bad from time to time, and when they do, it's important to look the part. Leather jackets are good, but tattoos are even better. The trouble with tattoos is that they're such a big commitment; it's tough to be just an occasional bad boy with "Mom" tattooed on your bicep every day. Thankfully, Temptu, the famous company that decorated those Italian bad boys on The Sopranos with all their tattoos, has a solution for those looking for just a taste of the bad. Their tattoo paint kits come with everything you need to apply tattoos that won't get them funny looks when they head back to the boardroom on Monday. With paints, transfers, setting powder and all the rest that they need for realistic looking tattoos, they'll be playing 'Rebel Without A Cause' in no time. It's a gift that gives them that bad boy mystique that they've been wanting, without all the downsides.
Who we'd give it to:
Good boys in need of a break, teens, real bad boys with a low pain threshold, the artistically inclined.
