My niece has said she wants to have a sleeve tattoo. She is 21. Her choice and her father has said it is her choice. Now if someone wants a tattoo that is utterly their choice - but is this ( see below ) an utterly mad idea ? Asking for advice here

Is there a reputable place website / ordering where you could get a temporary tattoo & it would not look dreadful so she could give it a go before she goes for the whole thing. Or do they look rubbish if not a proper tattoo ?

I am not making a comment about tattoos here other than in the sense they are a bit permanent - I think said niece thinks of it as fashion - so that is why I am asking could I buy a temporary one so she can give it a trial run - if she really wants one - great . She is thinking in a few months time .

Please no one think I am saying tattoos are a bad thing - but I hope some will get why I am asking this question. I am not the boss of her - I just wonder if there is a way of trying it out before you go through the whole procedure .

I have a sleeve thats nearly done.
15 years ago I started it.
Shit got in the way😂
My original artist is long gone.
I also have a few shitty tattoos that are very of their time.But at least they're not racist.

A note about lasering - it hurts and the pricing will depend on the colour of inks and the size but typically will be x 3- 5 of that of the original tattoo. You might need fewer sessions if you are planning a coverup.
