If you could get a permenant tattoo making you a darker color, would you?

Question

Let's pretend they can give you something so that you don't feel any pain...

Would you opt to be a darker color?

The point is, that, exposure to the sun is more dangerous,statistically, than tattooing.

Answer 1

Yes, I don't care for my whiteness. And getting tan isn't healthy...

Answer 2

yes i would considering I was born with a rare skin condition called something to the effect of Albinoism and I've never had any skin color then deathly pale white (i'm not kidding on this so no bs sarcasm IM's later) I would also opt for color change contact lenses since my natural eye color is blood red (another condition associated with albinoism) it's very rare in human beings but it does continue to be a blessing and a curse because a sunburn can actually kill me due to the lack of melatonin in my skin and it's been that way since I was born

but Albinoism is a blessing to me because of the side effects of my condition which are:

At night I see better then almost anyone I know and being able to survive at night in almost sub zero temps without the aide of a campfire is also a blessing (i've found this to be true camping in the ohio wilderness several times as I camp by day and traveled at night down the Appalachin Trail on foot and for those who are wondering the trek took about a year to complete and I worked odd jobs along the way to support my trip by working jobs from town to town including Night Shift Construction worker for both the states of Kentucky and West Virginia that repaired stretches of busy highway when traffic on them wasn't so bad and Undertaker/Mortician's Assistant for a 24/7 funeral parlor in Newport News Virginia and as a mechanic at an all night gas/service station down in Savannah Georgia talk about a range of careers and reactions durring that time from people and employers alike lol but most were understanding and based it on my skills and credentials when I hit my next town from the previous place I'd hiked from)

Answer 3

I would opt to be a darker color, but only if the tattoo would not affect my health, which is impossible, so I guess I'll stay just the way I am. :)

Answer 4

When I got married. My mehndi colour was really dark means it was so dark that everyone is looking on my hands. Whatever I did I m going to tell you. 1. When my Mehndi was over it started drying so I applied Lemon and sugar mixture various times with cotton. I kept Mehndi for nearly 7-8 hours. After removing my mehndi, I applied Vicks. I didnt wash my hand with water for nearly 8 hours. Keep in mind dear dont wash your Mehndi with water remove your Mehndi only by rubbing your hands together.

Answer 5

No. I like being pale.

Why would I want to be a darker color? I'd prefer to be even lighter.

Answer 6

That'd take a long time!It sounds like an interesting idea though.They do that permanent makeup and everything now.Hmm maybe in the future we'll see that.Once they worked out any problems.But at this current time,no I wouldn't get it.

Answer 7

There was a guy who wrote about doing this using nuts or something to make the dye. It was in a book about thirty years ago. I think his name may have been Ken Kaysing.

Answer 8

Hell no. You'd be dealing with scabbing then, too. Plus I'd have to figure out makeup all over again. I have no problem with darker or lighter colors. I just like mine.

Answer 9

If I wanted to be a darker color I'd get a tan.

Answer 10

Sure, I'd be a toasty tan like George Hamilton.
