How tattoos are made?
It's like drawing on the skin
This technique is done by injecting the ink into the skin through a tattoo machine.
The needle pierces the skin (up to about a millimeter deep) and leaves tiny drops there that the skin cannot dilute.
The ink is placed in the second layer of the skin, the dermis, since its cells are much more stable than those in the first layer, the epidermis.
The needle can penetrate the skin up to 3,000 times per minute.
The sterility of the instruments and hygiene are fundamental.
Most of the responsibility lies with the artist, no matter how good the equipment or ink is, the application of this depends on it.
