When I was a young kid, I loved getting those temporary tattoos and making myself look like a cool grownup. Of course no self-respecting adult would get inked-up with the kind of artwork one would find in those quarter machines by the checkout lanes. So if your kids want tattoos, why not make them some that actually look cool?

If you thought tattoo sleeves were a bit OTT then these next temporary tattoos maybe for you.

Want to be cool like a pirate and still show off how cool you are as a geek? Then it’s time for you to lick, stick, and peel.

Well, actually, you don’t lick these - you gently wet them. But in about 30 seconds, you’ll have a beautiful tattoo emblazoned on your flesh. Everything from retro joysticks to binary numbers to hearts showing your love for caffeine and coding.

You can buy a book of Geek tattoos from Think Geek for $7.99.

Really want a tattoo but hate pain? Found the fake tattoo sleeves a little bit too much on the sad git side of life? Well another product could be of assistance the temporary tattoo pen.

The temporary tattoo pen looks just like a regular tattoo pen (well maybe a tattoo pen for 5 year olds) but instead of needles it uses gel pens. Now for the really sad part, it vibrates to give you that authentic tattooing feeling (without the pain).
