Find out more about the best types of temporary tattoos and try one before committing to permanent body art, which can be very expensive and painful to remove.
The Myth of Semi-Permanent Tattoos
You may have heard of semi-permanent tattoos that last anywhere from up to a few months to a few years. They’re a hoax and no serious tattoo artist would promise to deliver a tattoo with a limited life, since there’s no middle ground. You either insert tattoo ink under your skin or you don’t and there’s no approved method of delivering body art that’s “semi-permanent”.
Even if the skin has three main layers, permanent tattoos usually go in the middle layer. Inserting ink in the top layer not only require a level of precision that’s not possible when using needles, but trying it also means that the ink will fade unevenly. Instead, you’re better off with one of the best types of temporary tattoos, that last for a limited time, but also don’t involve any needles or complications.
