Abstract: The present invention provides three embodiments to create and apply a tattoo to a dermal area of a recipient wherein the tattoo is non-permanent. The present invention includes a first embodiment and a second embodiment wherein the tattoo ink is removable via introduction of a solution and/or a solvent. A third embodiment of the present invention provides a method for tattoo ink creation that provides a tattoo ink that will degrade within the aqueous bodily environment over a period of time based on the polymer with which the water soluble dye is created. The first embodiment utilizes an organic dye that contains at least one metal atom. A solution containing a chelating agent is presented to the tattooed area wherein the chelating agent will extract the metal atom resulting in disappearance of the tattoo ink. Another embodiment utilizes wax encapsulated ink to be removed by presentation of a solvent.
