Liputan6.com, Jakarta In China, a new beauty trend might seem strange. Many young women use temporary belly button tattoos to make their legs appear longer. They buy this sticker and place it above their natural belly button. Then, they hide their actual belly button in their pants or skirts. This makes their upper body appear shorter and their legs look longer.
According to Oddity Central, these fake stickers have become very popular. The price of this sticker is relatively cheap. People even think it looks better than an actual belly button.
Controversy
Some people don't like their real belly button and prefer to use these stickers. Some news outlets in China say the trend may be related to traditional Chinese medicine. Keeping the lower abdomen warm is good for body health. People can wear high-waisted pants that cover their stomach using this fake sticker. So they can still wear trendy clothes like crop tops.
However, some people on social media criticized these stickers. That's because it promotes unrealistic beauty standards. On social media Weibo, some women who like it say the stickers stick well. These stickers are also non-reflective and waterproof.
