    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.

      Ink from tattoos can get stuck in the lymph nodes though. Which would be especially bad if you get a tattoo witth bad/toxic ink.

      I was honestly surprised they didn't take this as an opportunity to team up with a pro in this instance. It'd only be a realistic experiment with someone who knows how to operate the equipment.
      As someone with a tattoo, and yet also a distaste for needles (like to the point of nearly passing out from getting blood drawn), it's really not that bad people. I had my ribs done and it was fine. After about the 3rd hour it began to get uncomfortable, but truly, it's not that bad. If you want body art, don't let fear prevent you.

Otherwise, you would not be able to wear a cotton/polyester blend shirt under Leviticus 19:19 “’Keep my decrees. “'Do not mate different kinds of animals.' ’Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed.'

    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.

An artist will usually make no more than 2 "passes" with a needle over skin if they are doing solid packing. This rule changes for certain shading but yeah. Its just kinda how tattooing works

      @@_ericsherrill Even still, I’ve never been interested. To me, a lot of tattoos are just permanent expressions of temporary emotions. While there are certainly tattoos that hold sentimental value and I wouldn’t think less of anyone else for getting them or invalidate the feelings they have towards them, I don’t feel the need to display those feelings on my body when I can just display them through my words or actions. Also, our bodies change as we get older. What looks good now probably won’t look good several years down the line.

    ***Just so everyone knows - EVERY person has places on their body that hurt and that don’t hurt!! You are completely in control as to where you get a tattoo, if it’s shaded, how big, etc. and how long you sit. You do NOT have to sit for any amount of time, it’s up to you 😂❤
    I think ppl think there’s no choices, it will always hurt and always take a long time.
    For me, tattoos on my arms and back I can’t feel hardly at all, it’s relaxing, like someone scratching an itch. And everyone has less sensitive places like this on their body where they could get tattoos without a problem! ❤ There’s too much fear and misunderstandings about tattoos, when in reality they’re a beautiful way to express yourself.
