Revealed 'unbelievable' about why tattoo ink exists permanently on human skin

Why can't tattoo ink be deleted? The answer will surprise you.

Tattoos so far are no stranger to young people anymore. Although there are still prejudices, society today is much more open to tattooists.

How does tattoo ink last forever under the skin?

When white blood cells meet what is considered to be an enemy, they will immediately attack, bite, swallow the enemy, regardless of what it is. At the same time, some other cells also started smoking tattoo ink.
