I wore these everywhere on a recent vacation (my collarbones, wrist, arm, thigh LOL) and got stopped once by a stranger who complimented my tats, thinking they were real! If you take care of them (no scrubbing in the shower and all), they stay intact for a while! My thigh one lasted a whole week. So yeah, it's a great inexpensive investment. You get 49 sheets of large, medium, and small tattoos.
Promising review: "I freaking loved these. I actually booked an appointment for a half sleeve after trying one. I got many of them to last over two days. Almost every single person who looked at it, even up close, thought it was real. Very well-made. And there are so many beautiful designs to choose from!" âEmma

Promising review: "The Aristotle frames have been amazing so far. I went with the blue light filter prescription frames, for both form and function, they're the best glasses I've ever had. I work in an office most of the day with lots of screen time and my eyes feel a bit better at the end of the day than usual. I've switched from wearing contacts most of the time to the Aristotles. I have received lots of compliments on them as well and I happily recommend Bohten to curious folks. Honestly, the customer service has always been extremely helpful and flexible with my needs (such as needing a shipping address change because I was moving). Not to mention the business is sustainable and owned by good people. Highly recommend!" âIan R.
