The epidermis is not the second layer of skin; it's the first. Then comes the dermis and of course; your fat. The reason why tattoos are permanent is because they penetrate the first layer of skin and go into your dermis... where usually, since you don't shed skin cells or use any body products to wash it of, it stays.
