What's the difference between body painting and tattoo?

Painting is to color the skin with special pigments. After painting, use a fixative to keep the color for several weeks to several months, and then it will gradually fade until it disappears.

Tattooing is to punch holes in the skin with a tattoo machine dipped in a special pigment, so that the pigment can enter the skin for coloring. It can't disappear after recovery, and it can only be removed by laser, but it can't be removed like the original skin, so the tattoo is irreversible.

In addition, there is a very popular spray painting recently, which uses a special tool to spray paint on the skin, and then applies a fixed color of liquid medicine or powder (sorry, I can't remember clearly), which can last for a week or two, and then gradually disappears.

To sum up, paintings and paintings are disposable, but the effect is similar to that of real tattoos, and they can be removed at any time, so they are also called "disposable (or' temporary') artistic tattoos"; Real tattoos are permanent, and once they are tattooed, they cannot be easily removed or modified. This is the difference.
