Black Light Visuals offers a psychedelic twist on temporary tattoos by tie-dyeing guests' arms and hands. The funky arm art appeared at this year's Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, with concertgoers dipping their limbs into vats of swirling acrylic paint. The trippy tattoos are best showcased in the dark and can be washed off with soap and water. The Clarkston, Michigan-based design company can also customize color combinations for events.
