Tattoo artist Franky Yang from Beijing is known for her rectangular tattoos that incorporate Chinese painting elements into the designs. Everyone has considered getting inked at some point. But the painful procedure and the permanent commitment that come with it can really put some people off. Temporary tattoos are an ideal alternative for those who don’t want to go under the needle. And unlike its permanent counterpart, a temporary tattoo gives you the freedom to go from one design to another whenever you like. But do they look as good as the traditional, permanent ones?

You only need to look at Yang’s rectangular tattoos to prove that temporary tattoos are as good as, if not better than, permanent tattoos. The young tattoo artist creates colorful illustrations confined within a rectangle frame. Inspired by traditional Chinese paintings, her creations feature illustrative storytelling using artistic and scenic elements. Each piece is like a thin, rectangular window that opens to reveal breathtaking mountains, lush forest, and tranquil seascapes.
