How is a tattoo created?

Tattoos are created by injecting ink into the dermis (lower layer), of the skin through a small needle. Because these ink particles are too large to be carried away by white blood cells, tattoo pigment is relatively permanent and visible through the upper layers of skin.

How long will a Tattoo Last?

In most cases a tattoo can last forever. However, as you age tattoos can lose their clarity and appear blurry. This happens because to your body, tattoo ink is considered foreign matter and your body begins to attack the ink as soon as it is injected. Over time your body’s defense system will break the ink down, making the tattoo appear less well defined. Laser tattoo removal will speed this natural process up by heating the tattoo ink to the point where your body’s defense system can easily break it down and carry it away.
