Fake Tattoo...


Question Posted Thursday March 16 2006, 9:07 pm

I gave myself a fake tattoo with a safety pin and pen ink...that was about a month ago. Does anyone know how long it takes for it to fade out, or does anyone know how to get rid of it? it is a small tattoo, just a name written really small.

Oh boy. Body modification is an extremely serious topic that must be approached with caution. NEVER NEVER NEVER attempt to modify your body by yourself. That includes ear piercings, "fake" tattoos, and body piercings.

Now on to the advice. The tattoo you gave yourself, was unfortunately not exactly fake. A real tattoo also inserts ink under your skin. There is a good chance that you will be stuck with that tattoo for life unless you want to spend a lot of money to get it removed.

With tattoos, always always take care to be 100% sure you want that design on your skin for life. Names are an especially sensitive subject and should more often be limited to the names of your children.

You seriously shouldn't have done that. It's not a fake tattoo, it's real. How do you think other people get what you call real tattoos? They inject ink into their skin with a needle, which is just like what you've done on a smaller scale. It may never come off, so I suggest going to your doctor or pharmacist to find ways of fading it out.

That's not a fake tattoo, it's a real one. Depending on the exact type of ink, and precisely how you used the pin, it might take quite a while to fade...or forever.

You might want to talk to a dermatologist. And by the way, it's not a good idea to give yourself a tattoo like that; sorry to sound like a parent, but A) you don't know if that ink was toxic, and B) if you didn't sterilize the needle, you could have gotten a serious infection. It sounds like you were lucky, except for the permanent tattoo.

Good luck!

My brothers did this when they were teens. They still have them today.

I guess they don't fade out. I hope I am wrong but I think they are there to stay.
