Young women in China are wearing fake belly button temporary tattoos in an attempt to alter the appearance of their body proportions.
The temporary tattoos, which work by dampening the top of the sheet with water to transfer the design onto the skin, are typically worn a few centimeters above the navel. By raising the belly button line, it gives the appearance of a shorter torso and longer legs.
The curious trend has Chinese netizens divided, with some enthusiastically joining in, while others are criticizing it for promoting unrealistic beauty standards.
