Tattoos in the mouth is the latest craze emerging

Belgian tattoo artist Indy Voet has become famous for doing roof of the mouth tattoos for about five years and has since developed his technique as well as a portfolio of tattoos that fit the unusual location.

A former body piercing artist with ten years of experience under his belt, the young Belgian found the transition to doing tattoos in uncommon places natural.

Although having a tattoo inked on the roof of the mouth means that dentists are the only ones who will truly be able to admire it, people seem to think having a secret tattoo is pretty cool.

“I don’t really use anything other than a needle and some dexterity, combined with the trust of my client,” Indy Voet told Inked Mag, adding that using a tattoo machine would be too harsh on this sensitive location, plus there’s not a lot of space to maneuver.

Voet claims that 90 percent of people describe these tattoos as being almost painless or at least, very easy to handle, while the other 10 percent mostly complain about jaw muscle ache, from keeping their mouth wide open for long periods.

As for the healing period after getting a tattoo on the roof of the mouth, the Belgian artist says that “healing is like any other mouth tattoo or piercing—don’t have anything too spicy, no strong liquor and be careful what you put in your mouth for a couple of days. Other than that, the natural resources of the mouth do the rest.”

With Covid-19 causing havoc around the world, and the mouth and nose being the primary ways of transmission, roof of mouth tattoos are not exactly popular these days. But you can still check out all of Indy Voet’s works on his Instagram.
