Henna or some kind of fake tattoo!

    I have a tattoo on my upper arm which i am in the middle of getting lasered at the moment. I am sick of trying to get clothes to cover it when i have somewhere to go e.g. a dress with sleeves for a wedding.

    So instead i was wondering if there is anything i can do to make the tattoo look better so i am not restricted to what i can wear.

    Are there any temp tattoo's or would henna work (if so where do you get it done?!!)

    Thanks

    Depending on how well it's healed maybe use concealer or something? Why would you want to reinstate the tattoo you're in the process of getting removed?

    I got the tattoo when i was young, its horrible and i absolutely hate it. Plus it is half removed so looks even more horrinle! To cover it over for one day with something nicer wouldnt be reinstating it .. just want to be able to wear something sleeveless :)

    Oh sorry, I though you meant to colour over it :P

    If it's faded and healed enough you can always get a cover-up with a nicer tattoo but the best bet if you don't want to do that would be concealer.

    ps. (if it hasn't been removed yet in the mean time) I don't think henna would work: the ink usually turns out reddish and would prob not cover a black ink tattoo. So yes, use some very good concealer ;) good luck with the removal!
