Product Review: Alison tries Pins & Needle’s “Tattoo” tights

We’ve got another review for you this week, this time something a little more glam than a multiway bra. If you’ve been digging the loud retro-chic looks Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen have recently popularized, read on – we’ve got the perfect tights for you.

Pins and Needles “Tatttoed Pins”

Sizes: Tall, Medium, Extra Tall

Want to be the talk of the party? Always wanted to have a tattoo but your mum wouldn’t let you (and, let’s face it, you were too scared)? Here’s a pair of tights that will kill two birds with one stone: Pins and Needles Brand have not only created some amazing Italian-made tights, but they’ve printed a range of eye-catching tattoos on them.

Unlike many “novelty” products, these tights are the real thing. Made with a sheer Spandex and Lycra, they look and feel invisible and are comfortable to wear. Best of all, don’t have that horrible wrinkly effect on the front of your ankle that make you look like your skin is trying to gravitate south.

With five different designs and a practical see-through ‘storage pot,’ these ‘Tattooed Pins’ are serious tights with a fun twist to them. A word of caution, though — they are certainly not for the introvert and will need a pair of killer heels and a dose of confidence to carry them off. Believe me, they will get noticed!

However if you are the type (and, secretly, aren’t we all?) to want to play the bad girl, get these tights on and start getting some attention!
