Question

Permanent makeup using laser: is there a prohibition of tattooing in this? And is it a barrier to immersion? Are there other reasons to prohibit it? This is a fairly common question today, and I would like to know its ruling. Thank you very much in advance.

Answer

Hello 

A. It is prohibited as 'tattooing' because it is not erased. 

B. It is not a barrier to immersion because the color is absorbed into the skin. 

I am not aware of any other discussions on this matter.
