Why are Tattoos Permanent?


Human skin has 3 layers namely
Epidermis, Dermis, and Hypodermis(top to bottom). Each layer is made of completely different types of tissues, which is the main specialty of our skin. The Epidermis is made up of Epithelial Tissue which is an average of 50 cell layers thick and usually every week some new layers get added below and due to lack of blood reachability, the upper layers fade away or say die. The Dermis layer which is the second layer is made up of Dense Irregular Connective Tissue. This is basically the layer where the ink is deposited and lasts for years. This layer has got Fibrocytes(cells) which produce protein fiber called Collagen. Also, this layer has all other stuff like nerve endings, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc.

Now when a foreign substance(ink) enters this layer, a process of inflammation starts due to which white blood cells get to the site of ink. Usually, white blood cells digest or break down the foreign substance that comes in like viruses, bacteria, etc. But here we got ink that cannot be digested or break down. And this leads to a process where these white blood cells collect that ink and isolates it by keeping them there and not letting them go all over the body. And we can see that ink over the surface of the skin, and when that white blood cell dies, a similar process occurs and new white blood cells collect the ink again. Talking about the Hypodermis layer, it is made of Fatty tissue, which by name we can say that it helps to create a blur or say shade effects in the tattoo, as we know that ink spreads in fats or oils.


PRO TIP: As the thickness of the Dermis layer is different at each part of the body, making a tattoo from a professional tattoo artist is recommended. As he/she knows how much pressure should be given on the needle according to the place of the tattoo.

#VIKAS_GAYAB_HAI

#VIKAS_GAYAB_HAI , One of the trending topics on Twitter, gaining a lot of attention due to the realization of truth to many people. Well the duty of people is not actually comparing the drawbacks of the previous government with the new one, but people should actually question the progress and what actually, the new government is doing for the betterment of the country. Before a party comes into the ruling, it publically declares policies and aims that they would focus on and improve in their ruling period which we call it as Manifesto. So not actually considering the latest manifesto of 2019 we just jump at the start that is the promises Shri Narendra Modi gave in 2014 manifesto. Their main goal was 'Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat'   with the path 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' . Well, saying words is easy but implementing them is always hard so not talking about all the promises let’s just focus on a few main promises.   Price Rise Promise: Special courts to stop ho...

  "GOD" Ummm. What is that? Who is he/she/it? Maybe someone immortal, a pure soul, or someone who manages everything. But for me, God is my best friend because, after my mom dad, God is the only one who listens to all my problems and achievements without any expectations. A kind of silent supporter holding your hand from the back and helping you be better each day. I don't know from where these Religions came into existence. Although I have read blogs and watched documentaries about it, it seems like a story at last. I do believe that reaching a particular state is the ultimate goal of life. You may call it "divine soul" or "Moksha(In Hindi)". And for reaching that place, choosing the proper path is the most important thing. Suppose there are 100 paths in front of you and from that only '5' will help you reach your destination. And a person comes and tells you to go a particular path, which will lead you to your destination. Then it's our h...
