4/2/2023 0 Comments Ephemeral tattoo review![]() ![]() I’m not one of those people who make it seem like tattoos aren’t painful and that my heart doesn’t do jumps as soon as I hear the machine turn on. So, for context, I have a fairly low pain threshold. What could feel like a little pinch to one person can have another person in absolute ecstasy. If you've never had one, they taste like grapes and honey. In the Phillipines, you can get a big bag of them for practically nothing. I played around with mangoes and jackfruit and coconuts before landing on my favorite childhood fruit. I knew I wanted something fruity and Filipino. Imagine what you could get if that weren’t the case. That’s where the stigma of them stems from, right? That you, in one moment, make a decision for you, decades into the future. Literally, I’d say the first core tenet of tattoos is their permanence. It basically takes every single implication about tattoos and turns them on its head. Their proprietary ink is biodegradable, which means that over the course of 9–15 months, the ink particles shrink and get flushed out naturally by your immune system. As mentioned, they hire real tattoo artists to perform real tattoos with real tattoo machines with real needles. What is Ephemeral Tattoo?Įphemeral is a tattoo company with four locations - Brooklyn, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Atlanta. Real tattoos administered the same way a traditional tattoo is (via needles), except it only lasts around a year. Luckily for me, and soon - you, there is now such thing as real semi-permanent tattoos. A Gucci loafer? Funny! Two Snoopy tattoos? Make it three! A Jerry (from Tom and Jerry) tattoo? Great. Within the last few years, I’ve began taking a much more lighthearted approach to my body mods. A Harry Potter spell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m just glad I never got a full-on deer head tattoo on my chest in the deep V-neck era of gay culture. All of the tattoos I got to mark some sort of trying or significant time in my life have aged pretty poorly. When I was younger, I tried to make sure each one had a “meaning.” Something prepared for when someone asked me, “what does that tattoo mean?” I figured that way, there’d be no chance of me getting ink that I look back on somewhere down the line with regret.Įxcept that turned out not to be the case. I started getting them right as I was legally able and have collected them ever since. I don't know exactly how many tattoos I have.
