Turning your [Instagrams into nail art](http://time.com/18206/everybody-stop-theres-a-way-to-turn-your-instagrams-into-nail-art/) is _so_ passé: There’s now an app that converts your Instas into fake tattoos, because nothing says “I really enjoyed my Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict” like temporarily tattooing it on your forehead.

For $14.99, [Picattoo](http://picattoo.com/) will ship users a 12-pack of “Insta-tats” worldwide. The Netherlands-based service, created by the company Ink361, laser prints users personal Instagrams on temporary tattoo paper. And unless the wearer decides to “scratch it off with rusty nails”—the [app’s FAQ section](http://picattoo.com/faq) gets a little too real—the product should last up to a week.

For the person who wants to immortalize their cat Instas on more than just their forearms, you can also print your pictures on [marshmallows](http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/11/25/gram-on-graham-you-can-now-eat-smores-made-out-of-instagrams/) and [sneakers](http://time.com/103249/adidas-instagram-shoes/).

And after all the time it took for you to pick the perfect filter, your Instagram deserves it.
