Metallic tattoos are one particular kind that are having a surge in popularity as they can be worn as a fun alternative to jewellery. They’re much less expensive and of course they’re nice and light in warmer weather. As Beyonce has been demonstrating on her recent European summer holiday, they make the ultimate fun summer accessory.

Beyonce is clearly a huge fan of the metallic temporary tattoos known as Flash Tats. On her recent holiday in Portofino Italy she was spotted wearing them on her arm like bangles, on her neck like faux-necklaces and even on her thigh.

Clearly a fan of the metallic look, Queen Bey has also Instagrammed several shots of herself wearing them too.
