The latest trend in expressing your friendship? Temporary tattoos of your best friend’s face—an absolute must-have! Remember the days of matching best friend necklaces? Well, those days have evolved! While most of us have long since retired the “be-fri” and “st-ends” pendants, we now have a much cooler way to show our dedication to our besties: customized temporary tattoos featuring their lovely mug.
Before you think this is a wild idea, remember that people often get questionable tattoos during their college years (ahem not me, of course). So why not test the waters with a temporary version of that commitment? These adorable BFF tattoos can serve as a delightful trial run, and here’s the kicker: they look remarkably lifelike.

Each set from Etsy seller Lilimandrill contains 25 different tattoos and is available for $80. This makes them perfect for special occasions shared with your favorite partner-in-crime. You could even order new ones every year as you both age—though I personally would prefer my friends to ink the version of me from 2006, not the cookie-loving, sleep-deprived adult I am today!
The process is simple: just send a beloved photo of your best friend, and the artist will create a sketch that transforms into a tattoo. Easy as pie. But why stop there? You could also convince your partner to wear a tattoo of both of you on his bicep, providing the look of couple’s tattoos without the lifelong commitment. These would make delightful wedding or bachelorette party favors too—just saying.
In addition to custom tattoos, the artist also creates unique stamps, offering a creative way to personalize your Christmas card envelopes. If you have furry friends, worry not; she has options for them as well. Just imagine your bestie’s smiling face (or maybe a frown to remind you to make better choices) gazing up at you—how charming is that?
