Tattooing involves injecting ink into the skin at a deeper layer to prevent it from peeling off.
Different civilizations have used various techniques to achieve permanent tattoos.
00:01:06 How tattoos become permanent: Injecting ink into the skin causes a wound that triggers the body's immune response, resulting in the ink particles being trapped and creating a permanent tattoo.
:art: Tattoo machines inject ink into the skin at a high speed.
:microscope: The ink penetrates deep into the dermis layer, made up of collagen fibers and other tissues.
:syringe: The skin's immune system reacts to the tattoo, causing inflammation and attracting immune cells.
