The reason why tattoos are permanent is because the size of the ink particles are too big for the immune system to remove. This is why a fresh tattoo is so detailed, but they do fade as the immune system removes the finer particles. Laser removal works by superheating the ink particles and breaking them into small pieces the immune system can then remove.

The human body recognizes the ink as a foreign object and the immune system actually never removes any particles. The white blood cells encapsulate the ink to prevent it from making any damage and when that white blood cell dies it gets replaced by another and some ink gets lost in the process. The ink that flows freely usually gets stuck in the lymph nodes where it stays.

@@TheSpanishInquisition-2 the way they applied the ink in this video is far from correctly done. The amount of trauma is pretty minimal if done correctly with the right needle depth, machine voltage and hand speed. Even the angle you hold your machine at will have an effect on how the ink is put into the skin. Some lining needles require a different technique and machine speed compared to others depending on the amount of needles in the cartridge. Hopefully this helps you understand more?

@@TheSpanishInquisition-2 your needle only ever goes between 1 - 2mm into the skin and one of our primary focuses is to reduce trauma as much as possible.

As a tattoo artist the first pass you took with the liner needle made me cringeeeeee lol we definitely don’t go that deep that would scar someone up reallll quick. Silicone and similar mixtures are actually way harder to get ink to stay into. This was a great demonstration of how the needles actually get ink into the skin though. That is how it works in skin, those rubber mixtures just are harder for the needles to penetrate to make that ink transfer happen. With proper technique of pulling a line with tattoo needles, looking it it from the side, I’m pretty sure you’d see something somewhat closer to a solid rectangle going as deep as the needle did, instead of the jaggedness they had if that makes sense. No offense but homie would not be pulling clean lines like that 😂

To any aspiring tattoo artists out there, remember this, "Different skin takes ink better than others." I only have 3 tats, two of which were are cover ups, but there was a significant difference in pain levels between different artists. While I was getting my coverups, I mentioned to the artist ( a 40ish year old woman who had owned and operated her shop for 15 years ) how much less painful it was compared to when I first got them, and she told me my skin held ink very well. She went on to say that some artists really dig into the skin to guarantee the ink fully penetrates the top layer. It's not wrong per se, but it's not always necessary.

I have 4 tattoos, but my skin is the opposite of yours, I had to have 3 of them touched up because my skin doesn't hold the ink very well and one of them still has a couple of colourless blotches after 2 touch-ups. Strangely it's the 3 black ink only ones that didn't stick well, the one with colour had no problem at all holding the ink, I wonder if it's something to do with the make-up of the black ink.

Had to get my 4th tattoo corrected because the artist ( not the guy I've gone to for my other tattoos ) didn't go deep enough. The ink in the middle of the lettering all fell out during healing. Even now a couple years later it's still lighter in some areas. Will get it redone by my regular guy eventually.

@Ranesbane 7 ай бұрын

This was super cool to see. About a year ago I got my first tattoo. I'm very scared of needles. Getting blood drawn is always anxiety filled for me so I totally get why people are scared about this. My step-dad actually deterred me for a few years because one night he was acting like he was going to take me to get a tattoo and then said something like "let's go turn your arm into hamburger meat" lol and I panicked and didn't go. Now I know everybody is different and even though I don't like needles I'm also not one of those people that faints when getting stuck so I know not everyone will be able to do it. I held a friends hand the entire time because I was nervous but it truly wasnt that bad. I got mine on the inside of my wrist. The first line that my tattoo artist did almost tickled. Now that is a very sensitive area so the closer he got to the center, where the skin is thinnest and there's a lot less meat, the more it began to hurt. Tattoos (for most normal people) don't feel good. It's not a massage. But even though it started to hurt it was pretty bearable. In my opinion the worst part about getting a tattoo is while it is healing it itches and you can't scratch it lol for a couple weeks it would itch and all I could do was lightly tap it. So if you want to get a tattoo but you're scared, just know it's really not that bad
