Getting a tattoo is one of those big life decisions that many people have to consider for a long time. 

From the design, to the artist and everything in between, it's something you need to be sure about before you go ahead and get permanently inked.

And one of the biggest fears after getting a tattoo? Regret. 

But now, you might not have to suffer ANY regret as there's a new way to test your desired etching before a needle even touches your skin. 

Momentary Ink is a new Philadelphia-based business, who have designed temporary tattoos that look like the real thing at a low cost.

They last between 3-10 days so it gives you time to play around and try out different styles, designs and sizes. 

Speaking to Mashable, founder Jordan Denny said, "People are getting rid of these cookie-cutter tattoos and really getting into more meaningful, complex, often custom design. It really calls for a thoughtful decision, and requires a lot more of a flexible tattoo process."

“We want to make it easier to visualise something much more powerful and meaningful to people before they get it done.”

Last week we told you about Matt Carpenter, the brainchild behind start-up company Ship Your Enemies Glitter.

The 22-year-old Australian became inundated with orders when he launched a website which promised to send your chosen enemy "so much glitter in an envelope that they’ll be finding that sh** everywhere for weeks," for the low low price of just AUD$9.99 (€7.09).

The world pretty much unanimously agreed that Matt's idea was AMAZING, but the poor lad couldn't hack the pressure and decided to sell the company after just four days.

It seems his gamble was a good one, as the site has just been bought anonymously for a cool $85,000 (€74,500) on domain-selling site Flippa.

Since the site was launched 10 days ago, it's had 2.5 million visitors, has been mentioned on social media almost half a million times and has gotten worldwide publicity on TV and radio, too.

Not bad for a start-up that's less than a fortnight old!
