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.

The Joshi-Kosei Business

Culture, Society, Family, and Friends play a very vast role in the growth of anyone's life. But the situation turns up when they don't support you at the time of need.

Attention! Is it needed?

What do we all need to survive? Air, Food, Water, Shelter! Yea this looks good, maybe you would add love, family, or friends but among all these needs attention is also like a basic need in one’s life. We are most of the time unaware of it and some try to pretend that they don’t need it and that’s a good tactic nowadays to attract people in Social Media. Attention is a concept of Cognitive Psychology , the science of what you think, or what people think. It is not just focusing on the specific stimulus but sometimes it’s like fulfilling your needs of attention even you not knowing about it. During childhood days when you are unable to speak and need something, you start crying to get attention from your parents, and slowly when you learn something new you try to go to your mom dad and share it with them cause you like the appreciation, attention, and love they give you in return. People think and create an image that the child is so good, cute, and loving by seeing this behavior.  ...

Is it Promise or an illusion?

Defining words is never an easy job and this becomes more complicated when it directly impacts your emotions. Promise, may be an easy word to spell, a little hard to understand, but sometimes one of the hardest to implement. Everyone in this world has their unique way to react every situations they face, some reacts emotionally or some physically. In the very past it used to be like “Zubaan Dena” a Hindi idiom which actually means a hardcore promise. It’s like once you gave a word to any person then you have to be there with them even in worst case of their life. I know it’s hard; many people lost their lives and even lost their purpose of living due to this small word. But I would say that they actually cared about their words and emotions, they knew the importance of their presence in others life and the impact it gave to everyone around them. We all know that “Time changes everything; our trust, emotions and understanding too.” And today we see people change their words in fract...
