From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Body art fans have elevated traditional tattoos to the next level by creating designs that look and smell like herbs and flowers.
If you came of age in the ‘90s then you’ll probably remember those inelegant temporary tattoos that came wrapped around bubble-gum but it turns out that they’ve come a long, long way since then.
Now, you can pretty much transform into a walking, talking scratch and sniff human with designs that have an accompanying fragrance to match their design.
So, if your tatt looks like a pink peonie then it’s going to smell like one too.
The brainchild of New York-based company Tattly, the range of temporary tattoos are designed by French artist Vincent Jeannerot and include watercolour-style floral images of blue hydrangeas, roses, parsley and even sage.
Each tattoo is then matched with a complimentary scent made in collaboration with fragrance company, Agilex Fragrance to include notes of pink poppies, ylang-yland, dewy fuschia petals and poplar wood.
After application, the body art is said to last for two to three days but if flowers aren’t your thing, never fear because you can also get your hands on a set of mouth-watering tattoos inspired by lollipops rings and other retro confectionary.
