The tattoo machine puts the ink into the dermis--a layer of skin that's in there fairly deep. Once it's there, you take advantage of one of the body's healing mechanisms. Your body wants to force any foreign object out of itself. If it can't do it, it builds a wall around it.

What layer of skin is the tattoo injected into?

­When you look at a person's tattoo, you're seeing the ink through the epidermis, or the outer layer of skin. The ink is actually in the dermis, which is the second layer of the skin. The cells of the dermis are far more stable than the cells of the epidermis, so the tattoo's ink will stay in place, with minor fading and dispersion, for a person's entire life.
