• What a great idea from Kim Komando. “Keep your child secure with personalized tattoos … There’s no worse feeling in the world than losing track of your child in a crowd. You’re helpless until you spot that sweet face looking for you. Don’t let your child get lost without providing a way for him or her to be found. Tottoos (click here to link to the customized temporary tattoos site) can create a temporary identification “tattoo” for your little one. If your child becomes lost, the finder can call a phone number on the temporary tattoo so you can find each other again. These are great for vacations, amusement parks, family outings, sports events and anywhere you child can wander off without you. Tottoos are also available for kids with medical and special needs. A basic kit of 15 custom Tottoos with 2 personalized lines runs $13.”
