Thoughts on temporary tattoos?
(lemmygrad.ml)
I'm planning to get one for a few weeks on my arm, so if anyone had it, how was the experience and did it hurt during the process of getting one?
I don't know anyone who had tattoos in general so I had to ask. I want it to look really nice and have it for a week or so.
Yep, all the black ink on my nearly-complete traditional sleeve (so.... lots) had a spontaneous granulomatous reaction this year. They were all at least a few years old.
It's currently healing thanks to a topical steroid, but I have yet to see if it stays away for any significant length of time. I can't even have them removed (not that I want to), lest the ink enters my bloodstream and lodges in some gland somewhere. Black ink reactions are super rare; my derm had never seen one in person.
My artist even uses one of the few approved-in-the-EU inks, go figure.
