Tattoos are becoming more common in the work place. Thanks to tech and startup culture, which is much more lax than traditional places, it's now acceptable to show off your permanent ink in the wild.

But there is, of course, still trepidation over committing to permanent ink. Before you hand sketch your next piece of art, there's a better option, like this app, called inkHunter.

The app allows you to place your tattoo of choice on any area of your body. You simply draw a smiley face with a pen where you'd want the app to ink. You press the snap button and then can choose a few options ranging from wolves, octopuses, to old maxims like "Brevity is the soul of wit."

If you don't like the options they have, you can also upload one of your own designs from your gallery. Other than the fact that you can trick your friends on socials with these tattoos, you can get them in IRL if you so choose. 

You can also order any tattoos as temporary stickers that can be delivered to you. 

To get the app, head over here to download.
