Behind the Ink: David Romero's Thoughts on Self-Expression Through Temporary Tattoos

For David Romero, art has always been about connecting with people’s inner worlds. His journey as an artist led him to work with Tattoo Flick and create a line of temporary tattoos that celebrate personal expression without the permanence of ink. Through his designs, David aims to offer people a way to showcase who they are — or who they want to be — even if it’s just for a day.

“Temporary tattoos let you play with your identity,” David says. “It’s freeing to wear a symbol today that captures one side of you, and change it up tomorrow to express something new. There’s no pressure, just the joy of self-expression.”

In his collection for Tattoo Flick, David crafted designs that reflect different emotions, experiences, and aspirations. “I want people to find something that resonates with their story,” he explains. From bold symbols of courage, like a roaring lion, to more introspective designs like a delicate feather, David’s tattoos invite wearers to express themselves authentically.

One of his favorite designs is a simple mountain peak. “To me, it represents resilience — a reminder to keep climbing, no matter what,” David shares. He believes that temporary tattoos allow people to carry a meaningful message or quality with them, even if only for a short time.

With his collection, David hopes to inspire a sense of playfulness and freedom. “Everyone has many layers, and temporary tattoos allow people to express those layers one design at a time,” he says. Through his work with Tattoo Flick, David has turned his art into a tool for self-discovery — a journey that changes with each new design and each new day.
