A nail tattoo is a small design that may be worn on any finger or toe. Although it’s called a tattoo, the design doesn’t penetrate the skin. Instead, it is painted using a special type of nail polish with metallic pigments. It’s also known as “temporary” tattoos because they last about 2 weeks. Nail tattoos are sized to fit both fingernails and toenails.
Even though many people wear this for fun, nail tattoos are often associated with members of gangs. It has been reported that some members mark their “territory” using these designs.
