Many people have been tweeting photos of henna tattoos and they have been a permanent feature in the micro-blogosphere. There has been an increase in mentions and conversations regarding henna temporary tattoos over the past few months.
In part, this increase in popularity can be attributed to the season: it is summertime, and shorts, t-shirts and flip flops mean more skin on which to wear temporary tattoos. But this spike in popularity goes beyond what we would expect for the season. The increase in mentions, conversations and orders of henna tattoos indicates a true trend; a trend that can be attributed to the actualization of temporary tattoos as fashion accessories.
