The tattoo trend is still very much in style these days. While some people want to get their body inked permanently, others think that having the same tattoo on their body for the rest of their lives is never a sensible option, so they prefer temporary ones. In specialized terms, tattooing is a kind of pigment implantation process.

In general, there are two methods of implanting 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 you can use to remove these pigments from your skin. But the pain associated with this process is excruciating in addition to being extremely expensive. More often than not, the cost of removing these pigments far exceeds the cost of applying them. So it is important to think well 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 1-2 weeks, but it can last 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 effects: When it comes to temporary, there is no harm done unless you are allergic to paints. After a couple of weeks, you can completely wash it off. 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 can not even pour water on the design.

  • Bread: No pain of any kind is experienced in the case of impermanents because only paints, brushes and adhesives are used. But you must have a high pain threshold in case you want to ink your body permanently. I’m sure the amount of pain caused by this process will depend on how much you can take.

  • Blood: There is no chance 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 nothing to worry about.

  • Cost: Getting permanent ink is an expensive affair and can cost you several dollars. But it also depends on the size and design of the body art you get. The big, colorful ones will generally cost a lot more than others.
