Abstract
This invention provides a relatively fast and safe method of producing a permanent or nearly permanent skin image, design, or tattoo similar in appearance to that of a solar tattoo. A protective design template is placed on the skin and a cryogenic agent applied to freeze exposed portions of the skin, producing hypopigmentation. An image is defined by the contrast between the treated (hypopigmented) skin and the adjacent untreated skin.
