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.
