    Designer Ink

    If Chanel can do temporary tattoos for us, then why not invite some of New York’s top graphic artists to design tattoos for our kids?

    That’s the idea behind Tattly, an online shop selling “designy” temporary tattoos. We love You’re Late by Julia Rothman, Tattone by Josh Smith, and Scribble by James Victore. In fact, they are so cool, we don’t even think we are going to share them with our kids.

    Besides, it is inappropriate for them to be wearing tattoos to school, but we can definitely do our business meetings with a scribble on our arm.

    $5 for set of 2, shipping to Canada is $2, www.tatt.ly

    Designer Skin

    It’s no quilted chain bag, but we’ll take it.

    Just in time to flash some spring skin, the house of Chanel has launched a line of temporary tattoos ($75/55 tattoos) designed by Creative Director Peter Philips.  The Trompe l’Oeil skin art includes classic Chanel symbols like chains, pearls, wheat, tiny swallows and interlocking c’s that can be applied around the neck, wrist, ankle or leg.

    Now that’s making a fashion statement.

    Available March 15 at Chanel, Holt Renfrew, 1300 Sherbrooke Street W., Montreal, 514-842-7318, www.holtrenfrew.com
