Actually wode can be used for tatooing as it does stain everything it touches
as Vara said earlier. Using it every year or few months myself, I know that
the mixed wode is very hard to get out, but it also depends on skin type. If
you have very oily skin it doesn't last long, but very dry skin, it lasts a
LONG time.
