Totally you be the judge!
That's like hiring someone to do a ceiling mural.
I got mine done, but the 1st guy found bigger fish to fry, more out of town, and we've agreed to give him 4 checks installment. After the 1st check, he comes less & less, and making excuses, but I was his 1st employee, until he found one farther and he keeps asking me for gas money. Was I now supporting him? He was 80% done, and he walked out on me, gave him his last pay but not all of it, since he didn't finished the job. I have to hire 4 new employees, and it still didn't have that WOW! effect!
Except, the canvas here is your skin. You can't laser and start over again, it's much painful than that.
Laser takes several treatments.
What else can I say! That's another reason why I won't let my body turn into a canvas. Mistakes happens, ALL THE TIME, a painful mistake, then there's the allergic reaction from the ink. I'd much rather get my teeth pulled - anytime! Speaking of tooth pulling, one dentist thought he needed to polish a tooth using a tool that takes my took to be numbed. After he injected me with a numbing effect, he realized it was actually a blemish and it came off. I left his office, my mouth still swollen from the injection!
Lasers have made it easier to lighten tattoos, but it's not as easy or as reliable as many people think. Lightening a tattoo generally takes several treatments and can be expensive. How well it works depends on the tattoo. Many tattoos can be lightened until they are much less noticeable, but usually a trace of the tattoo remains.
Also, some tattoo colors are harder to remove than others. Laser treatments can turn some tattoos darker instead of lighter, or change them to a different color. The same goes for "permanent makeup," which is a kind of tattoo. It depends on what ingredients went into the tattoo ink to produce the color.
But it can be hard to find out what's in tattoo inks because they usually don't have ingredients listed on the label. Very often, even the tattooist doesn't know what's in the tattoo ink because the company that made it considers the formula "proprietary" (pro-pry-uh-tar-ee). That means it's a trade secret.
Speaking of forever, how often do you change your mind about your hair, your earrings, or the clothes you like to wear? It's not so easy when you change your mind about a tattoo.
EXTRA BONUS INFO! Although many "temporary tattoos" are legal, some -- especially some of those imported from other countries -- are illegal in the United States because they use color additives that are not approved for use on the skin. FDA has had reports of people having allergic reactions to temporary tattoos.
What about henna temporary tattoos? Henna is a brown to reddish brown dye made from a plant. It is approved only for use on the hair, not the skin. If it is black, or any other color besides brown or reddish brown, it contains other ingredients. It also may contain other ingredients to make the stain darker, make the skin absorb the color more easily, or make the stain last longer. Paraphenylenediamine, or PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time
Could these ingredients hurt you? It depends. Individuals are different and may be sensitive to different things. If you don't know what the ingredients are, it's impossible to tell what they might do if you put them on your skin.
