Tattooing is a centuries-old art form that gives you a permanent or temporary image on your skin, depending on what you're looking for. Artists create permanent tattoos by infusing ink into the skin, typically by using needles.
Vigilant tattoo care immediately after getting a permanent tattoo helps it settle properly into the skin. Using conscientious skin care over the long term helps reduce the need to have the tattoo’s outlines and details refreshed every few years.
A temporary tattoo generally lasts three to five days, and semi-permanent tattoos last for a week or two. Both are excellent low-risk ways to express yourself and to test out the look of a permanent tattoo.
