      Like the vajazzle, the vattoo isn't permanent and can last on the vulva for seven days if the vattoo-ed "avoids friction" (the spa's representatives explain that might take some creativity).

      On the heels of the vagazzling trend, spas have come up with another way to doll up your lady parts. Temporary vagina tattoos -- a.k.a. "vattoos," are generally done post-Brazilian wax (you need a "clean canvas" for the artist). They're applied a few inches above your actual girlie bits, and the airbrush-and-stencil "vat" washes away after a week.

      If you’ve got more Morticia than Marilyn vibes down there, consider a “vattoo,” also known as temporary tattoos for your vagina. Vattooing is done by applying an airbrush tattoo to the area after a Brazilian Bikini Wax. Like a proper vajazzling, a vattoo can also last up to five days.
