Which of the following is NOT a type of permanent cosmetic tattooing?

Eyebrow tattooing
Body piercing
Lip coloring
Scar camouflage

The correct answer is: Body piercing

Body piercing is not considered a type of permanent cosmetic tattooing. Permanent cosmetic tattooing refers specifically to techniques used to enhance facial features, such as eyebrow tattooing, lip coloring, and scar camouflage. These procedures involve the insertion of pigments into the skin to create a lasting effect that mimics traditional cosmetics or improves the appearance of scars. In contrast, body piercing involves the creation of a hole in the body for the purpose of inserting jewelry, which is a distinct practice that does not involve the application of pigment to the skin in the same way that cosmetic tattoos do. This distinction is crucial in understanding the different categories of body art and cosmetic procedures.
