Abstract
The apparel of the present invention provides a method for creating the allusion of the wearer having a body tattoo. The apparel has an upper layer of material that forms the body of the apparel. An opening is formed within the upper layer to reveal or expose a lower layer of material attached at its periphery to the upper layer. The opening within the upper layer of material is formed by a jagged edge to give the appearance of a tear within the material. The lower layer is a different color than the upper layer of material and is preferably the same color of the wearer's skin tone to give the illusion that the torn area is revealing the wearer's skin. A tattoo is chosen by the wearer and added to the lower layer of material. The tattoo may be a permanent addition to the lower layer or may be removably attached to the lower layer.
