The 7 best temporary tattoos that are worth a try
Want a tattoo, but maybe not? Go with a fine temporary option like one of these
A man with some arm tattoos.

First tattoos were all the rage. Then, not having one was the cool thing to do. Now, the temporary tattoo is the way to go. It's really the best of both worlds, bridging the gap between those who want to get inked and those who aren't decisive enough to settle on something permanent.

These days, temporary tattoos are so detailed and realistic, you can fool even the best of the critics. They're great for a variety of reasons, from a basic art form standpoint to a trial or test run to see if you're ready for the real thing. Shoot, you can even get one with your significant other's name in it (or your mother's) just to get a reaction.

The 14 Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Men

When you think of the best Valentine's gifts, you might picture roses, chocolates, wine, and perhaps scanty apparel. While a gentleman can, by all means, enjoy flowers, sweets, and intimate garments, let's be honest; is that what anyone really wants? Shift your vision and picture a cool laptop case, a luxurious robe, and a high-quality sweater.

Don't overthink what makes a great gift for a man. When you do, you usually end up with something that will sit in its packaging for months. Instead, just ask what are the best gifts for men generally, then work from there. If he's a foodie and loves kitchen-related gifts, find a hot sauce brand or flavor he's never tried before. Make him a cocktail. And if he's into sneakers, get a new style from his favorite brand. A good gift is something he probably would not buy for himself, but will not want to be without once he has it. It's something truly thoughtful and selected with him in mind, not just picked at random.
