How is it Done? • A tattoo is created by injecting ink into one’s skin. An electrically powered tool resembling a dental drill is used to do this. The needle from the tool punctures the skin between 50 and 3, 000 times per minute! (wow, that’s a lot!!) With each puncture, a drop of ink is deposited into the skin.
What Part of the Body is Affected? • Tattoo ink affects the dermis since it is being injected deep into the skin. If it were only injected into the epidermis, the tattoo would eventually go away because those skin cells would fall off over time.
Pros of Getting a Tattoo • Being able to express your own style and individuality. • You’ll have a reminder of something meaningful/ important to you on your body. • You can have anything you want tattooed onto your body!
Cons of Getting a Tattoo • Possible risk of infection. • If weight is lost or gained it may deform the look of your tattoo! • It’s there forever! So choose wisely what you put on your body… and if you ever want it removed , it’s a very painful process. • It’s painful.
