History and Symbolism
Researchers of tattoos classically call gold and golden the colors of wealth internal and external, leadership and fearlessness. It is a royal color, which means one needs confidence in one's strength and spirit to afford it. Applying gold to the body was customary back in Arab countries, and perhaps that is why modern translational tattoos are so close to oriental motifs, ethnic patterns and the hot sun.
We owe the reincarnation of gold body painting to Japanese designer Nobuhiko Akatsuke, who in 2006 began carving patterned jewelry from gold and platinum foil. The idea was not in great demand until the director of Flambeau's company got acquainted with it and took it to Dubai. From there the golden stickers went on to conquer the rest of the world: first they took over the world's catwalks with the help of Chanel and Dior, then they flooded celebrities' social parties, and finally, having reached a large audience, they probably settled in Instagram for a long time.
Response:
I'm afraid to get a real tattoo, but I constantly decorate my body with gold stickers: feathers on my shoulders, pendants on my neck, rings and letters on my fingers. It looks very classy! All the girls have to try it!

Gold Tattoo on a Girl's Arm
Now there are hundreds of resources on the web, where you can buy a variety of shiny stickers. What is indicative, their price varies greatly, because some are made of ordinary foil, while others, for example, are made of 24-karat gold. In any case, stylish shimmery images make their wearers even more graceful and sexy.
How did the gold tattoo appeared
Pictures in gold were known for a long time. They were applied (transferred) to various objects. These were bags, belts, wallets, appliances and so on. In fact, the principle did not differ from the children's translations.
Years went by, and the designer from Japan, Nobuhiko Akatsuke, came up with the idea of gluing carved of gold foil and imitation jewelry..
The designers of Madame Chanel liked the idea. True, the local craftsmen chose the black and white classics. Such stickers were not accepted by the clients. The idea was for a long time forgotten.
The second life was given to the gold tattoo in the Emirates. True, there at once stopped at the gold color. The stickers were made of pure gold foil.
The House of Fashion Dior did not stand aside. For wealthy customers they began to produce translucents with 24-karat gold application.
Later the use of gold tattooing became available to the general population. For a short time tattoos made of simple gold, silver foil look good. The price of such products is quite democratic. Especially considering that you can glue the picture yourself.
Universal jewelry
Particularly popular in recent times are images that imitate various kinds of accessories - bracelets, necklaces, pendants, rings or pendants. Gold, silver, metallic shades of such stickers draw the eye and are gaining more and more admirers. Not inferior to them are gold designs in the form of ethnic ornaments and patterns, abstract symbols and geometric shapes.

This is interesting. The real boom in translators would not be possible without the stars of first magnitude, who set the fashion and role models. Beyonce, in love with golden tattoos, photos of which she puts in the network almost every day, changes them with enviable consistency. Crazy about the jewelry and Rihanna, combining the temporary tattoos on her body with permanent. On top of everything else, the singers managed to launch their own line of popular designs.
The growing popularity of gold stickers lies in their following features:
- The painlessness of the application process and the ease of removing the images.
- Safety of such tattoos and their optionality: you can get rid of the annoying drawing at any time.
- Possibility to use translators to decorate the skin when tanning: the picture will be erased, and the original pattern will remain on the tanned skin for a long time.
- It can be used as a substitute for a sculpting blush: the correct placement of the image will help to emphasize, for example, the cleavage or abdominal muscles.
- Versatility: such an image is appropriate in the day and evening, at a party and a social occasion, when going to the store or to a concert.

Options for use
As a rule, gold tattoos are a summer decoration: they are flawlessly combined with tanned skin, and the warm weather makes it possible to accentuate any part of the body. However, minimalist drawings look good in the city, whether it is a theater or a disco. The most common images are in the following places:
- Imitation bracelets and cuffs on the wrist (often dominated by Eastern themes). Such stickers look elegant in addition to wristwatches with metal bracelets.
- Imitation rings on the fingers, or geometric shapes that also bear a resemblance to rings.
- Necklaces and necklaces around the neck, which are easily complemented by real jewelry.
- Abstract geometric figures on the hands and feet.
- Snakes and chains wrapped around the biceps.
- Thin strips or chains crossing the whole body in a playful way combined with the straps of swimsuits.
- Gold inscriptions on wrists, letters on phalanges.
- Feathers and Egyptian themes on arms and shoulders.

You can decorate your body with these translators even at home. The rules for their application are not complicated at all:
- Clean and degrease the skin, where the tattoo will be applied. To make the image last longer, it is desirable to remove hair from this place.
- Cut out the desired image and carefully separate the protective film.
- Apply the image to the body, spread it out and moisten it with water using a sponge. The paper should become completely wet.
- After a minute, slowly remove the film and check the integrity of the design.
- Wait a few minutes for the tattoo to dry completely.
- Voila! Shine under the gaze of passersby.
This is what gold tattoo sets look like
Tip. You may find that the image seems a little dull after it is applied. Don't be alarmed, allow time for the image to finally set on your skin. In five minutes it will play with its real colors.
