How Tattoos Work

Fascinating. Maybe mix into the ink stew some forever chemicals, microplastics, and skittles, then some unpronounceable things, and ain’t we a mess? How did life expectancy go up 20 years?

💡How Tattoos Work… Did you know?🤯

Tattoos are the result of a permanent tug-of-war between the body’s immune system and the ink injected into the skin.

Tattoos work by using needles to inject ink particles roughly 1-2mm into the dermis (the stable, deep layer of skin), creating thousands of tiny, permanent wounds.
