Temporary jewellery tattoos are the latest addition to ripped jeans, floral crowns and bindis which have become essential elements for dressing up for a musical festival.

Hollywood actress Vanessa Hudgens and model Alessandra Ambrosio at Coachella and on Colbie Caillat and Sarah Jessica Parker on the red carpet, metallic jewellery tattoos are blazing through the fashion scene.

Unlike most trends that come and go, these won't leave a dent in your pocket. They come in a bunch, stuck on sheets and cost a few hundred rupees. The advantage is that there's no permanent commitment and you don't need laser surgery to remove them since they are temporary.

Designers like Tommy Hilfiger are sending models down the runway in these designs. A longtime ambassador of the trend is Beyonce. She even collaborated with a fashion house's temporary tattoo line back in 2010. She displayed several of the designs while celebrating her 33rd birthday in Italy and later shared a series of snaps of the body art on her Instagram page.

How to wear them: Pile the tattoos on for a layered look or stick rings on your wrist close together to imitate the stacked bangle trend. The next wave is a watercolour version of metallic tats in hand-painted designs.
