The tattoos from Ephemeral, a new tattoo shop in Brooklyn, will remain visible for between nine and fifteen months. Everything is real, including the tattoo artist, the needles and the pain. The only thing different is the ink itself.

<a href="https://ephemeral.tattoo">Ephemeral</a>, a new tattoo shop in Brooklyn, addresses your fear of commitment with ink, as well as your desire for <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/influencers-who-inspire-body-positivity-love-for-yoursel">self-expression</a>. Getting a<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/celebrity-tattoos-most-shocking-miley-cyrus-justin-bieber"> tattoo</a> can be exciting but how do you know you&#39;ll love your body art for the rest of your life? You can have a tattoo lasered away, but that is of course no good. The temporary tattoos from Ephemeral Tattoo consist of smaller particles that disappear naturally from your body after 8 to 15 months - which is of course also ideal for trying out your long-cherished tattoo. The credo on their website&nbsp;is: &#39;I regret that text message you sent at 4am. Not your tattoos&#39;.

The ink was developed by Brennal Pierre and Vandan Shah, both Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from New York University. &quot;Whether tattoos could fade was a question that got us thinking,&quot; says Shah. Pierre adds, &quot;With our background in biomolecular engineering, we&#39;ve worked with protein stability and protein development. Tattoos are just interactions between the skin (the protein in this case) and the ink, so that&#39;s why this issue was interesting to us,&quot; he says .

Ultimately, the ink is made from bioabsorbable and biocompatible polymers. It contains carefully selected high-quality pigments used in foods, cosmetics and other products. The ink has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) , a United States federal government agency that monitors the quality of such. The tattoos are currently only possible with black ink and it is possible to make your own design.

For now, Ephemeral Tattoo only has one tattoo parlor in Brooklyn, New York where it uses this technique. But the more reservations it gets in a particular city, the sooner one will open in that place. That will be your thumbs up for a shop in Belgium.
