Temporary Tattoos in Chicago

Chicago is a city overflowing with art, culture, and history that can be an inspiration for any number of tattoo designs. While some don’t hesitate when it comes to choosing what they want inked onto their skin, for others, the decision is not that simple. Health risks and cost are just two things to consider when it comes to getting a permanent tattoo. Aside from that, tattoos can be a big commitment—what if you’re not sure you’ll always want the tattoo you’re considering? If you’re plagued by these doubts, or you just want something impermanent and decorative for a night out, you could opt for getting a temporary tattoo right here in Chicago. Types of Temporary Tattoos Common types of temporary tattoos are: Airbrush temporary tattoos: The artist uses an airbrush, alcohol based cosmetic inks and a stencil to spray a design onto your skin. Henna temporary tattoos: Henna is a plant-derived dye that is used to paint designs onto your skin. Removable tattoos: The artist uses a needle and special ink called InfinitInk which is permanent but can easily be removed with one or two laser treatments. When it comes to using needles, make sure you get your tattoo from a licenced tattoo artist in a clean environment. To avoid harming your skin, check to see that all the ingredients of your temporary tattoo are FDA approved.

Once again, this depends on the type of temporary tattoo you’re getting. Airbrush tattoos typically last 7-14 days. Henna tattoos generally last 1-3 weeks. Removable tattoos have to be applied with a special type of ink called InfinitInk, but they can be removed with a laser treatment when you decide you want to get rid of it. How Much Does It Cost? A henna tattoo typically costs between $5-$10 in Chicago. Airbrush tattoos go for between $5-$30.
