These images will make you think twice before you want to get a tattoo

There’s nothing dangerous about it. Simply cosmetic, you will feel regret after getting tattooed.

When prejudice from society has been removed, owning a tattoo today is a normal thing. “Forgiveness” has become one of the means of expressing the personality of many people. In addition, it is also a way to save sweet memories, or simply… I like to do it.

And indeed, when they were really open, the level of tattoo artists also increased a lot. You can own beautiful and quality “forgotten” ones, as long as you have enough money.

You can own beautiful and quality “forgotten” ones, as long as you have enough money.

However, a tattoo can be permanent, but its condition is not. When I first got a tattoo, every picture was so beautiful, but after a while, it was tragic.

As recently, the Bored Panda page has posted pictures of the condition before and after a few years of tattoos made by some netizens. Guaranteed, you will have to think again before deciding to have a “forgive” for yourself.

Think tattoos are cool? Think again

Once tattooed, everyone understands (and thinks) that the tattoo will last forever. This is true, and the mechanism for this comes from the body’s perception that it is under attack.

Specifically, when the tattoo needle is inserted into the dermis, it creates wounds and causes the body to react. The body will move white blood cells there to disinfect, and this process inadvertently pushes the tattoo ink into the dermis cells, causing it to stay there.

Once tattooed, everyone understands (and thinks) that the tattoo will last forever.

Moreover, because tattoo ink has a very large molecular size, white blood cells cannot digest it, even though they consider tattoo ink as an invader from the outside. So the tattoo ink will stay in the dermis forever, and can only be erased if a large explosive energy source (such as a laser) is fired at it.

However, because it is considered an enemy, the body will find a way to eliminate tattoo ink for life. That ink will gradually erode, and that’s why your tattoo will look so miserable over time.

Due to being considered an enemy, the body will find a way to eliminate tattoo ink for life.

However, the rate of corrosion is very slow, so it will not take a lifetime to completely disappear. It’s just that from an aesthetic point of view, you’ll regret letting the… needle go through the meat before.
