Where Does My Tattoo Go?

Tattoo pigments are small and

large particles….

Small particles are eaten by WBCs making

some color fades

WBCs can’t eat Large particles

therefore pigment is permanent

Large and small ink particles in the dermis are consifered foreign bodies will be eaten up by our immune cells
