Gilded tattoos were on the menu this week. So was pizza. Sort of a pizza & tattoo party. What fun we would have! Getting all tatt’d up whilst eating some of the most delicious pizza you could find in a 15 mile radius. And then, the unthinkable happened.
Everything went haywire.
Hence this edition of LBM was not all fun and games (as it was supposed to be). Now I’m not going to sit here and throw a gigantic pity party. I won’t! But I will host a small one, because our story needs to be told.
Problem One: The amount of time it takes to go pick up pizza when you only have an hour. Next time, maybe delivery would be a better option. Even so, we would have had time, aside from…
Problem Two: The influx of work that had to take precedence over Lunch Break Makeover. Remember, what could go wrong will go wrong when you have a pizza/tattoo party planned.
Problem Three: Having to choose between eating and tattooing because time is of the essence.
SO of course when presented with Pizza or Gilded Temporary Tattoos…the choice is as obvious as, well pizza, because eating is important.
Pizza. First. Always.
Unfortunately, work also thinks it needs to come first. Real life goes and ruins things again.
You see, we were all set up. The tattoo parlor was prepped.
Pizza arrives on time and smelling like fresh heaven…
AND THEN five minutes into eating, I walk away to get more water and boom! I’m caught. I should have known better. Someone always needs something while you are in the middle of something amazing. Unfortunately, when it’s the boss you have to oblige. I’m keeping the language G Rated, but my emotional state at the time was far far from it.
Jenn was the saddest of all the gals. She wanted a tattoo so badly. Rumor has it, she had Jez put a kids sticker on her chest. I can’t confirm or deny it.
This is how badly we need LBM. Every. Single. Week.
BUT don’t dispair. Jenn, Jez and all of the other LBM crew will get tattoos on Friday (today). Even if there’s a fire. It will be immensely helpful that the boss will be away, too. Nothing is getting in our way this time!
In the meantime, I took some very dull pics of what the tattoos look like on me at home, by myself. You can imagine what fun we are probably having right now (assuming you are reading this on your lunch hour) that you may never, ever get to see. Well, unless you follow my INSTAGRAM feed.
And in conclusion, without both pizza AND tattoos, we were all miserable. Mostly I was miserable, but they weren’t that thrilled either.
If and when you set up a tattoo pizza party, where will you stick your golden skin decor? Fingers, toes, up your nose?
Just kidding, don’t do that.
Omg I am so naughty when I work haha I try and make my toilet breaks so long to be on my phone people must think theres a problem but the pizza looks lush and I LOVE doing these temp tattoos with a tan! xxx

Oh thanks so so SO much 🙂 and I highly recommend pizza first. It’s the smart choice 😀 These tattoos would look adorable on you, especially with the amazing outfits you put together!!! ❤️
thanks so much Liz <3 I will have to go ahead and pick some up 😀 will be fun as a party like you mentioned TATS AND PIZZA PARTY <33333!
A post about pizza! If I didn’t know any better I would assume you did this just for me. That picture of pizza you put up…that’s what my dreams look like.
It sure was heavenly. I would say your constant posts on pizza love had an influence, but in actuality it was my coworkers who took the initiative and chose pizza. And it was worth every calorie. Fun fact: this is my SECOND pizza related post. I’m a fan of the stuff too!
You’re one of three of my readers who posted about food today. Now I might just have to post about food too. Your coworkers are smart. When I have time later I’m going to dig through (creep) your blog and look for it and other related posts.
Excellent.
Ahhh always an entertaining read!! I have got to get my hands on these for the beach this summer! They look awesome! I also want pizza! LOL!
You are too kind 🙂 🙂 And I am going to check Nordstrom’s Rack this weekend! I just your Instagram comment and I got giddy because we used up the whole pack I bought! lol And the pizza is gone, too haha
And now I want pizza.
Don’t blame me. Blame Pizza!!! 😉
These are so pretty! I particularly love the ring and bracelets ☺️ and you can NEVER go wrong with pizza. x
The ring and bracelets are my fave too! I think I’ll make it a habit to wear them. And yes to all things pizza!
You’re so funny. I know that when I open your posts, there will be a funny story/picture with a caption. I really want to try the tattoos as a ring and on my arm and chest, but I also don’t want a tan line. #firstworldproblems
Thank you Joy! And let me say, these little tattoos don’t seem to last very long, so I don’t think you’d have to worry about tan lines, but I’m with you. No lines, ever!!! 🙂 Try them for a night out in the town possibly?!?!
Good idea girl!
Agree with this so hard. Pizza is my favourite thing in the world.
I love those little instant tattoos the gold ones look amazing! Such a neat trick
They are the best, aren’t they! I want to eat pizza and wear these tattoos everyday of my life. 🙂 maybe in a perfect world!
I have been keeping my eyes open for ages trying to spot these! We FINALLY got NYX here so maybe I’ll get lucky and find some of these jewels tucked away somewhere soon! My fave are the bracelets but those rings are looking pretty good to me now too. 🙂 xx
