There was no attitude or scaly exterior to break through. My artist was kind, friendly, and a great conversationalist. But there also can be a fake tough/fake mean mentality surrounding tattoo culture, and I won’t be gaslit into believing it’s all in my head. This isn’t to say that I haven’t met nice tattooers in the past. Anyone who has been to a tattoo shop can attest to the fact that sometimes, it’s like walking into a biker gang’s top secret conference - and they are not happy you’re there. So what if she sees my flanks! Are Ephemeral tattoo artists nice? I mean, my artist was already staring at my yams. In for a penny, in for a pound: If you were wondering why I am shirtless, it is because I was wearing a gigantic oversized shirt to my appointment that I didn't want accidentally stained. After booking your appointment, there’s an opportunity to upload different inspiration pics that your artist can start noodling on. I already knew what I wanted, but if you don’t, Ephemeral makes the process of landing on a design simple as hell.
#EPHEMERAL TATTOO SCAM UPDATE#
Once my tattoo has completely faded, I will be sure to post an update on VGL.
#EPHEMERAL TATTOO SCAM SKIN#
My understanding is this: Ephemeral tested on a wide range of skin tones to make sure the disappearing aspect of the tattoo is inclusive to all. I have a medium dark tan complexion, and I regularly deal with hyperpigmentation and was worried the tattoo would leave behind some sort of ghost-image after it has faded. It’s usually a dull, annoying pain, rather than a sharp, excruciating pain. People often use the “cat scratching” metaphor to describe the sensation. So, the short version is this: butt tattoos are medium painful. 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.
