FOR a spooktacular scream this Halloween, why not dispense with the scary mask and opt for a morbid makeover instead?
Emma Turnbull, a Chester-le-Street nail and beauty specialist, uses a new type of temporary tattoo to create a haunted Halloween effect that will disappear by the time Bonfire Night rolls around.
The 20-year-old businesswoman, who owns Creations, in Front Street, has just launched a Su-do tattoo service which uses an air compressor, instead of painful needles, to create her designs.
She said: "The eerie makeover comprises bats, pumpkins, moons and stars, but unlike normal tattoos the Su-do tattoo lasts for five days so the artwork will fade away once Halloween is over.
"This means that people can then change their image to create a different look.
"I think Su-do is set to be the new trend because it's an ideal way to create a fashion statement for special occasions, including Halloween, Christmas and New Year's parties," said Emma.
