Face tattoos. They mean a lot of things to different people — we associate them with Lil’ Wayne, Kat von D, and fans of the 2008 Beijing Olympics — but I never thought I’d see Chanel marketing them as couture. But I stand corrected, it seems, as this week the mega-brand started selling a $75 pack of velvet temporary tattoos, the smallest of which are intended to behave as a double-c’d beauty mark on the face.
It’s not the first time temporary tattoos have been associated with the couture brand, but the runway and print campaigns have featured the unmistakable symbol as a fashion accessory for the face this season, and now you can have one, too. As fashion brands are always trying to stay on the cutting edge while paying homage to their legendary roots, leave it to Lagerfeld to bring the editorial face tattoo into the realms of high fashion.
Would you wear a velvet Chanel face tat?

No. If I had $75 to blow on something frivolous, I would pick something (or put towards something) that will last longer than a temporary tattoo.

What @babybug329@xanga said! I’d do it if it were, say, $5 for a packet lol. But even so, branding my cheek with Chanel is still kind of lame.

Surprisingly very cute… but I wouldn’t spend $75 on them.
guest
yeah sorry, definately not into breaking the bank on the smallest bits of nonsense ever

Nope. I never buy anything that has a brand printed on it, except band tees.

Damn…I thought this was going to be one of those things where a brand pays you to “advertise” on your body. In that case, sure, I might consider it. But paying $75 to stick some crap on your face? No thanks. I don’t wear anything with obvious brand labels on them anyways.

Total lack of personnality to be that fan of a brand.
You wanna show you are only a sheep following waht people told you to wear ? Wanna show ostentibly that you are considering yourself “luxuous” and “chic” ? Let those tatoos to teenagers.
French advice…

no, don’t think it’s worth it. i could easily buy several weeks of food with that or some cute outfits.
guest
wearring that is the equivalent of wearing a sign that says label whore around your neck

abso-fricken-lutely NOT. hell no. I’m not their brand, and I could care less about brand names, and I’m not putting any fake ass tattoos on my face. This is retarded.

Wouldn’t wear the Chanel “tattoo.” But I like the idea of a velvet temporary tattoo. Something on the arm, lacy-looking, feminine, with flowers and birds. And, $5 or less.

LOL, no.
