Tattly: retro-inspired temporary tattoos

Tattly

Tattly is a new venture launched by the blogger Swissmiss offering temporary tattoos for design-minded kids and the young at heart. The range includes plenty of retro subject matter for offer – though not the traditional hearts or roses you might expect. 

She's worked with various different illustrators to produce the tattoos. Julia Rothman has supplied the digital watch design pictured, as well as a robot and a polaroid camera. Other designs include retro computer graphics and an old-fashioned microphone. 

$5 buys you a set of two of any design or you can buy all 15 designs for $35.
