Tattoo Pen Graffiti Kits

The ’rents always warned you about leaving indelible marks on society. Fortunately, hickies heal.

Next on the list of cheap thrills? The import tattoo kits we fell for last week while perusing the shelves at Heliotrope.

Whether you’re feeling “Down with the man” or “I heart ___,” stencils will keep your handiwork in line until your philosophical inkwell runs dry. Nontoxic pens come in standard-issue colors (red, green, black, blue) that wash off with soap and water while resisting the status quo.

And at under $10, they’ll keep you from raising any permanent hell.

Mom will be so proud. Assuming you give her a shout-out.

Available at Heliotrope, 248 West Ponce de Leon Avenue, Decatur (404-371-0100 or heliotropehome.com).
