Instagram photo sharing has gone to a new level: body ink. That’s exactly what a service called Picattoo does. It prints your Instagram photos as full-color temporary tattoos.

Picattoo, from the creators of the INK361 online Instagram viewer, connects to your Instagram account, where you choose up to twelve images, place your order, and get them shipped to you in the form of temporary tattoo squares. Shipping is worldwide and free, and a set of twelve costs $15. According to their FAQ page, the laser print quality of the tattoos is “pretty high,” though they note that the clearer your Instagram picture is, the clearer your tattoo will be. The tattoos last about seven days, but may last longer if you treat them carefully.

Once you log in with your Instagram account (or Facebook credentials) and give Picattoo access, you are presented with a simple interface that shows a grid of your photos on the left, and 12 boxes on the right, which you can fill with photos you want printed. Once you’re done, add them to your basket and checkout.

Currently Picattoo can only use photos from an Instagram account that you can access. However, you can access and print your friends’ photos and give them as gifts, as long as they are your followers and have public profiles. Picattoo says it may support other photo sources in the future.

For the most part, changing your Instagram username is a pretty simple process. It only takes a few steps, and you can get it done pretty quickly on your mobile device.

Note: Instagram has said that, if an account "reaches a lot of people," they make take some time to review a username change for that account and that Instagram will notify that user once the review is done. Otherwise, your username should change right then.

Are your Instagram Stories repeating? Here’s how to fix it

Instagram Stories are repeating over and over again, giving users a severe case of deja vu. Under normal circumstances, whenever users post a new Story, their friends see that photo or video before moving on to the next person's Story or backing out. However, due to numerous complaints on social media on June 14, users are reporting a bug that causes Instagram to show them the same Stories every time their friends post a new one — resulting in a lot of repeating content.
What went wrong with Instagram Stories
Here's my example: A friend of mine, let's call him Joel, posted 17 stories within the last 23 hours and has posted another one. When I tap on Joel's Story icon, I should see only the most recent story. However, his story replays the first 17 stories I already swiped through between this morning and the time that I'm writing this.

Users have taken to Twitter to complain about Instagram Stories playing in an endless loop. Even fast-food restaurant Carl's Jr. contributed to the discourse with a picture of its mascot kicking, screaming, and crying over rewatching everyone's Stories from the beginning.
