RE: LOS ANGELES TATTOO EXPO

in #life7 years ago

I've often thought about getting a tattoo.. but they are so permanent, and I don't like to be tied down to anything in particular. There are so many people covering up old tattoos with new ones, it seems like most haven't really thought it through..! Also, those who do keep the tattoos for long times will usually find it fades over the years.

I just wish there was like a happy compromise: a tattoo that lasts like 1-2 years and then disappears! Because I do think they are rather nice sometimes, especially within certain subcultures !

Sort:  

I have thought about the same! There must be a possibility of a tattoo that lasts about 1-2 years! But I understand you! I also see so many cover ups which are great but even bigger than the first tattoo.
If it fades than you can get a new layer of ink which is no problem

Even permanent tattoo can be removed using laser technology,

I heard of it but there will be scars sometimes and it won´t look like there was nothing before

I looked into henna tattoo's which are 'sorta' an option for shorter term but you have to stick with the red stuff which I don't like, because apparently the black henna ink contains all kinds of horrible toxins. And it fades faster too of course, can't imagine it staying nice after the first few weeks!

Yeah sure, you´re totally right. I once used black henna on my hand and after 8 days it looked horrible. Red henna isn´t my thing so maybe you have to stick with bare skin then :D
