“치아 문신”는 말 그대로 치아에 새길 수 있는 문신이다. 건강한 진짜 치아에는 아직 새길 수 없지만 새로운 치아를 이식할 때 혹은 기존 치아 위에 새로운 치아로 덮어 씌울 때 옵션으로 요청할 수 있다.
문신하는 비용은 $75에서 $200 (7만5천원~ 20만원) 든다.
치아에 문신을 새기는 것이 새롭게 느껴진다 하더라도 이 기술은 20년 전에 처음으로 행해졌다고 한다.

Tattoos on teeth, now possible
Tattoos on the teeth are an emerging trend, as people seek to decorate their mouths with images of their favorite things, the Daily Mail reported.
Tattoos can’t yet be applied to healthy teeth, but for patients requiring a crown, a tooth tattoo becomes a viable option, it added.
A dental stain tattoo costs between $75 and $200 and is no more painful than having a more typical crown fitted.
Although teeth tattoos might sound new, they were introduced 20 years ago.
