BB pals Gama-Go have just released their ingenious Fingerstache package of mustache-shaped temporary tattoos. They're just $5 for a pack of 19 mustaches in a variety of handsome styles. To support the wider fingerstache phenomenon, Gama-Go is also holding a Fingerstache Photo Contest on Flickr. Prizes include a $50 gift certificate, packs of the Fingerstache temporary tattoos, and their kooky Mt Stachemore Floati Pen. All of this fingerstache hoopla makes me want to shave my real facial hair and go with the faux. Fingerstache Photo Contest

    Look at this faux-king hipster.

    But are they legal to use in a church?

    • Bilsko

      I wonder if any Alabama BB readers want to find out?

  • nanite2000

    Can somebody show me how you would apply the “Fu Manchu” fingerstache?

    • i_prefer_yeti

      double-finger power!

      @3 I believe you would put it on both index fingers with the top part toward the tip of your fingers. Then hold your fingers like you’re about to pick both sides of your nose at once. At least, that’s the best I can come up with.

    Those aren’t true hardcore faux moustache tattoos. What posers!

    White people will be proud:

    What? No Square Button?

    On her, it looks good.

  • SKR

    I used to be with it. Then what I was with wasn’t it and what was it was scary and strange to me. I’ll happen to you, too.

  • Antinous / Moderator

    They seem to have missed the Dirty Sanchez.

  • arcduke

    Awesome idea, but, man, what sucky packaging. You’ll cut your finger open getting that fused plastic apart and will then have to figure out a place to store the tats.

  • geekbruin

    clamshell packaging looks both annoying and environmentally unfriendly.

  • skeletoncityrepeater

    I would say AWESOME but not ‘Ingenious’, as moustache toys have been around for a VERY long time..

  • thequickbrownfox

    You can get these things for your Macbook as well.
