Ok... so I just got back from the wonderful, fantablous Pittsburgh
Irish fest and am greatly disturbed. There was a booth, a rather
large one with a rather large clientel that was advertising "Airbrush
tatoos". The funny thing was that the sign said "Lasts for days *
Waterproof * Removed Easily" first of all if it lasts for days and is
waterproof how is it removed easily? Secondly, out of curiousity and
general nervousness about PPD and all lately I asked them what it was
that they used to make the tatoos. Two people from the booth looked
at me like I had either A.) Just hopped off the boat or B.) Just
escaped the looney bin! They said simply "an airbrush" to which I
replied, "Well, I mean what sort of paint or whatever is it that you
use?" They continued to look at me like I was a fool and
said "airbrush paint". I kind of nodded and walked away appaled at
the lack of knowledge from the booth's staff. You know I really think
that people see the word temporary and automatically
think "harmless". Personally outside of those "lick-em-n-stick-em"
tatoos I would really want to know what it was that I was paying
someone to put on my body. I'm still disturbed and may call the
people in charge of the Irish fest about it. I mean with PPD and all
going around as rampant as it has been, I'm really nervous and edgy
around anything that isn't as safe as good ol 100% pure henna.
Any advice on measures I could take, or anyone out there with any
knowledge of airbrush art or the paint involved please let me know.
Thanks, and Blessings,
