Gold metallic temporary tattoos on arms

Geometric · Forearm · Colour · Photo

Several gold metallic temporary tattoos are applied to the arms of a person wearing a textured gold top. Designs include chevron and rope-knot bands, a diamond-and-star border, a repeating geometric pattern, a short line of cursive script, a leafy sprig and a flower with foliage. The metallic foil lines are clean and even, and the warm, soft lighting makes the gold finish stand out against the skin.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The foil ran out at ten past four, which Maureen had been dreading since the gulls started working the bins behind the pier. She laid the last transfer sheet on the card table beside the cash tin and smoothed it flat with the side of her hand, the way her mother used to smooth tablecloths before guests arrived. Six designs were left on it: a chevron band, a rope knot, a diamond border, a sprig of leaves, and the flower that nobody ever asked for and everybody ended up buying.

Dev from the chip shop had been wanting a chevron since Easter. He hovered at the stall with his phone in one hand and a fiver in the other, explaining that his cousin's wedding was on Saturday and the bridesmaids wanted matching arms. Maureen didn't tell him the foil came from a warehouse in Leicester on Sunday mornings, or that the cheap lettering always came out crooked. She peeled the backing back, pressed a damp cloth over the chevron, and counted to thirty the way she'd been taught.

When the paper lifted, the band came away clean and bright as a new ring. Dev held it up to the low sun and turned his hand, and the metal caught the light and threw it back across the car park in a thin gold line.

"Is that everything?" he asked.

"That's everything," said Maureen, and gathered the empty backing sheets into a neat stack, and for once she didn't mind the gulls.
