<ul><li>Tattooing involves monolith-sized needles penetrating through layers of dead cells into the dermis, causing violence, open wounds, and activating the immune response.</li><li>Tattoos involves a dramatic interaction with the immune system : piercing through layers into the dermis, triggering a violent immune response.</li></ul>

1. Tattoos Intrusion into the Derm

<ul><li>Tattoo ink, often made from heavy metals, triggers a battle in your dermis.</li><li>Tattoo ink are made from various substances, some potentially toxic.</li><li>Macrophages in the Dermis attempt to devour and neutralize the foreign ink particles, using chemicals and physical means.</li><li>Despite efforts, the ink particles are too large to be destroyed, so the immune system encapsulates them between immune cells.</li></ul>

2. Triggers an Immune System's Battle

<ul><li>Macrophages continually sacrifice themselves to keep the ink in place, protecting the body from potential harm.</li><li>Tattoos showcase the body's amazing immune system at work, emphasizing the sacrifice of immune cells for the sake of art.</li></ul>

4. Gratitude for Our Immune System's Sacrifice

<p>Tattoos appear vibrant initially, but fade over time. This phenomena is due to :</p><ul><li>ShortTerm fading : The tattoo's vibrancy initially comes from ink on the outer the skin, but as the outer cells are expelled, colors fade.</li><li>Longterm fading : Some ink escape the immune cells net, occasionnaly spreading inside the body.</li><li>Artificial Fading : Removal through laser treatments involves heating and breaking down ink particles, impacting the immune cells.</li></ul>

3. Tattoos Impermanence

<ul><li>Your skin is a conveyor belt of dead cells : the Outer layers of skin constantly replaced by new ones from the inside to the outside, shedding around 200 million dead skin cells every hour.</li><li>It solves the challenge of preventing microbes, dirt, insects, and vermin from entering while constantly enduring damage from daily activities.</li></ul>
