Designed Not to Last
Have you ever had the desire to get the word “mother” tattooed on your forearm, but were more concerned about it being properly kerned in Helvetica than about how it would make your mom totally freak? Tattly, a new e-shop, features ultra-designy temporary tattoos created by graphic designers and illustrators like Jason Santa Maria, James Victore, Frank Chimero and Jessica Hische.
Tattly was started by Tina Roth Eisenberg (the voice behind the noted design blog SwissMiss), who set out to change the landscape of temporary tattoos after she found herself applying yet another “hideous” clip-art design to her daughter’s arm. “I have this personal rule that when I catch myself complaining about something over and over, I need to either do something about it or let it go,” Eisenberg says. “So I got to work.”
Eisenberg sifted through her Rolodex of favorite creatives, including several from her collaborative work space StudioMates, gave the artists her directive and “let them run with it.”
