Dubai is famous for expensive cars and houses, luxury hotels and gold jewellery. Today, there’s a new way to flash your money in Dubai, and show your fashion style. You can get a very special and flash tattoo. The latest fashion accessory for the style-conscious party-goer in Dubai is a temporary tattoo made of real gold!
A new business in Dubai is offering temporary 24-carat gold tattoos as the ideal body jewellery for weddings and special occasions at a starting price of $50 (31 pounds), not such a bad investment considering the current rate for gold. Obviously, larger and more intricate design can reach hundreds, even thousands of pounds. This is body art for the rich and the fashion conscious!
Precious Skin has two outlets in Dubai -- one at the luxury, sail-shaped Burj Al Arab hotel -- which will design and apply body tattoos made of 99.9 percent gold or platinum to add a bit of glitz to your style.
You would be forgiven for thinking it was invented in Dubai but it was actually imported from Japan by Flambeau Luxury Trading and Precious Skin.
How does it work?
When doing an ink tattoo, the ink is injected underneath the skin. The technique for a gold tattoo is different. A thin film of gold or platinum is used to make the tattoo which is then applied to the skin and can last for up to a week.
Both men and women in Dubai are said to be embracing this new fashion accessory. Soon to be seen in New York, Hoolywood and London? There is no doubt that gold tattoos will be seen again!
