No it is not. It is semi-permanent meaning the ink will slowly fade over time unless you get touch ups.
There is a touch up required 4-6 weeks after your initial appointment. This is to make sure you optimize your results! After your touch up, your next session will be at your discretion. Some people get a touch up every 6 months. Others may wait a year or longer. This is totally up to you.
