Why don’t tattoos just go away? If it’s just staining your cells and the cells eventually die, wouldn’t it just disappear?
In: Biology
The ink goes into a deeper layer of skin than just what’s on the surface, so it holds for much longer. Some colors do fade faster than others, and tattoos on certain parts of the body (like on the palm of the hand or inside of a lip) will not last as long as others.
And they can get faded faster through unprotected exposure to the sun or other sources of UV light.
