Handmade Tattoo Chokers by me at:

so recently i am obsessed with tattoo chokers. you now, those 90's kids accessories that EVERY cool kid had? yuppp. they are now making a come-back in a lot of harajuku looks.
but since they are not very mainstream these days, the prices on etsy, ebay etc are all jacked up to ridiculous amounts. and much as i was obsessed with it, i refuse to pay $35 for something that used to go for a dollar just cause of a fad.
so i decided to make my own. AND IT WORKED.
here is my take on the tattoo choker/bracelet/ring using fishing line. stuff that comes in 50m packs for $3.50.
sadly, i could not find lines in black. this reel has 10m of 5 colors. blue, red, green, yellow and clear. quite an awesome steal at $3.50. got it at the hardware store near my house.
the end product!

note that for a bracelet, it does stretch quite abit so a knot chain length of 8cm was sufficient for me. getting consistent tension and knot length is very important. else it ends up looking very messy and bleh.
if you just feel like buying them instead, do support me at:
