Take the tour ×  Based on these excellent questions it appears
that writing with ink permanently on the skin is forbidden and
that there is no question of maras ayin for non permanent
tattoos. Is there a way to make a permanent image on the skin
that does not violate halacha?  share|improve this question add

states that permanent makeup is allowed. He bases it mainly on
the fact tattooing is forbidden when two actions are involved -
writing (ink filling) and scratching/cutting into the skin.
However, he adds a few more things into the discussion, one is
that the outcome is just some color, not a distinguishable
shape. Another - that it's not really permanent but eventually
wears off. Both of these don't seem to fit in with what you're
asking.  Rabbi Yaakov Ariel says that in his opinion even a
temporary tattoo is forbidden, this would seem to be the same
here.  share|improve this answer add comment  Your Answer
