Temporary or permanent tattoos: which one is best for you?

The tattoo trend is still very much in vogue these days. While some people want to have their body inked permanently, others think that having the same tattoo on their body for the remainder of life is never a delicate choice, which is why they prefer temporary ones. In specialized terms, tattooing is a kind of pigment implantation process.

In general, there are two implantation methods for this pigment:

• Permanent: It goes without saying that this type of body art is permanent in nature. Sure with aging, they slowly fade, but they will never go away completely unless you do some treatment. Laser treatment is one option that you can use to remove these pigments from your skin. But the pain associated with this process is excruciating as well as being extremely expensive. Most of the time, the cost of removing these pigments far outweighs the cost of applying them. That is why it is important to think it through before applying them.
• Temporary: This guy is anything but his permanent counterparts. The pigment is applied only to the outer layers of the skin so that only the epidermis is colored. But as you lose your skin cells, they will slowly fade away. These pigments usually last 1 to 2 weeks, but it can be even less if you use hot water and detergent more often.

There are many differences between permanent and temporary tattoos, some of which are:

• After the effects: When it comes to storms, there is no harm done unless you are allergic to paints. After a couple of weeks, you can wash it off completely. When after applying permanent pigments on the skin, it will take time to heal; at least three weeks to be precise. During this period, you cannot even pour water on the design.
• Bread: No pain is experienced in the case of impermanents because only paints, brushes and stickers are used. But you need to have a high pain threshold in case you want to get your body inked permanently. The amount of pain caused by this process will surely depend on how much you can bear.
• Blood: There is no possibility of blood dripping from your skin in case of impermanent pigment implants. But you do see a bit of blood when it comes to their counterparts. But that’s not a cause for concern.
• Cost: Getting inked permanently is an expensive affair and can cost you several dollars. But it also depends on the size and design of the body art you are getting. Large and colorful ones will generally cost much more than others.
