Teeth tattoos are nothing new; in fact people have been getting them for the past twenty years.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve never come across one before, you might soon, as dentists have seen a sudden surge in their popularity.<\/p>\n

Fox News interviewed Scott Atkin of CEO of Creative Dental Laboratory in Scottsdale, Arizona.\u00a0 Atkin says he\u2019s been making teeth tattoos in his laboratory for the past fifteen years.\u00a0 These days, his technicians are creating a few hundred a year.\u00a0 The designs are requested and then drawn by hand under a microscope.<\/p>\n

Another dental laboratory based in Connecticut called Suburban Dental had their first request from a patient\u00a0 back in 1995.\u00a0 The patient wanted an image of a corvette printed onto their tooth.\u00a0 At first, it wasn\u2019t clear how the company would transcribe a design onto a tooth.\u00a0 After some experimentation, they figured out how to do it: \u201cby hand-painting a patient\u2019s chosen artwork onto a crown and then baking them into the material in a kiln\u201d (Yahoo<\/a>).<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s the catch — you can\u2019t get a tattoo on any of your real teeth.\u00a0 It has to be a porcelain crown or bridge, since the design has to be hand-drawn under a microscope first.\u00a0 The ink used are specially made ceramic stains just for teeth, and they will last forever — no matter what you eat or drink.<\/p>\n

But the good thing about \u2018tatteeth\u2019 is that they don\u2019t have to be permanent like skin tattoos.\u00a0 As soon as you\u2019re over it, the inked layer can be scraped off with a diamond or rubber wheel. \u00a0Also the price won’t break the bank: tooth tattoos cost between $75 to $200, although a complicated multi-tooth pattern could set you back up to $1000.<\/p>\n

A tooth \u2018tattooth\u2019 doesn\u2019t damage your teeth and \u201cis no more painful than having a more typical crown fitted\u201d according to the Daily Mail<\/a>.\u00a0 A dentist will need to take an impression of the tooth where the tattooed crown will be fitted, then the mold is sent off to a creative dental laboratory for design placement.<\/p>\n

So what do you guys think?\u00a0 Would you get your mouth decorated with your favorite sports team?\u00a0 Your children?\u00a0 Your company\u2019s logo?\u00a0 Something expressing your heritage?<\/p>\n
