13 Nerdy But Classic Temporary Tattoos

Personally, I'm waiting for the day when "temporary permanent" tattoos are a thing, meaning that your ink will last for a few years, but end up fading away thereafter. This wish is particularly prominent when I think about getting nerdy tattoos that I'm super into now, but not quite sure I'll love for the rest of my life.

I go through phases during which I want my entire arms and legs covered in ink, but then I second guess whether I could actually like an image enough to have it on my body forever. Luckily, many people are on the same boat as me, and temporary tattoos are a full-fledged thing. From gold, geometric flash tattoos that Coachella goers rave about, to funny, little Fruit Stripe temporary tats, you can find almost anything in this fleeting form. Or you can have it made. Thus is the magic of the internet.

My four siblings and I are hardcore Lord Of The Rings fans, and we've contemplated getting matching fantastical tattoos for a couple of years, but we haven't been able to make the plunge. Maybe we fear we won't love the designs forever. Maybe we're afraid of the pain. Regardless, temporary tattoos will often suffice.

Whether you're a Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord Of The Rings, or Pokémon fan, there's a temporary tattoo out there for you. These 13 designs were practically made for you.
