6 Month Tattoos?

[SaturnSC1 10+ year member]

Hey, i'm interested in getting a tattoo, and I heard about being able to get a tattoo that would eventually fade away after about 6 months. Well my question is, is this really legit? And if so, how much do you guys think it would cost? Also the name of what it's called would be helpful.

i believe it is a tattoo with india ink, and yes, it is legit.

its an actual tattoo that will fade away after a few months time. im not sure about the cost of it though, i would imagine it would cost the same as a tattoo with normal ink, seeing as how you are really paying for the artists time and materials prep than you are the ink itself.

they call it Mehndi, or Henna.

They were real big a couple of years ago, everyone was getting them

if you want my input on this though...

piercings. much more removable than tattoos, if you chose the right one its a great conversation piece (i know mine start more conversations than tattoos //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif ), and you get the same physical rush as a tat (or so im assuming, im not a fan of tattoos, too permanent)

henna goes on the outside of the skin, the india ink i mentioned, im pretty sure thats what its called, applies under the skin just like a normal tattoo, and last a good bit longer than the henna skin art.

Yeah, I knew about the Henna ink and all of that. But, a friend of mine went to Savannah Georgia and got a tattoo that basically lasted for 6 months. The times that you could have it for ranged from 3 to 6 months, and she ended up getting the six month version.

I have real tats, so I'm really not worried about the Henna kind.

Go on wikipedia and look up henna tattoos to find out what's what.

Clear enough for you bud?

Okay I just got in contact with her. She said it lasted a little under 5 months. She also said that the ink looked a little bluish/purple on her skin. Hope that helps some.
