There's a tattoo-off brewing. In the celebrity corner is David Beckham's latest, of Jesus sat on the cross, based on Matthew R Brooks's painting, Man of Sorrows. But come March, there will be a new skin decoration on the block, when Chanel launches its temporary tattoos, including the iconic interlocking CC. Aside from the obvious – Beckham's body art is permanent and therefore hurts – his latest choice, his 14th, is a bit intense. The Chanel transfers, created for the spring 2010 catwalk, on the other hand, require much less analysis (and crucially less commitment). Key designs include the fashion house's signature pearls and bag chain handles, which appeared on model's wrists, shoulders and garter-style, on thighs.
There's already a waiting list at Selfridges for these posh stickers (55 for £49), so the spoils surely go to Chanel.
