The earliest recorded tattoo was found on a Peruvian mummy in 6,000 BC. That's some old ink! And considering humans lose roughly 40,000 skin cells per hour, how do these markings last? Claudia Aguirre details the different methods, machines and macrophages (you'll see) that go into making tattoos stand the test of time.
Lesson by Claudia Aguirre, animation by TOGETHER.
1st tattoo: this one represents all the struggles ive been through and how i became a stronger person. .
8th tattoo: check it out a mustache on my finger
Underrated
Just got my 8th tat and it’s literally just a lighthouse with waves hitting it. I like lighthouse
@@aguilasfan96 this wholesome for some reason
1st tat: this is a logo of my fav band which also tells my story
5th tat: i like turtles
Tattoos are for people who want to portray an image for others, like that they're badass or cool it's all a cry for attention.

Shut up
Yeah
I love these animations.
Thank you, Edward Hippisley-Cox! We hope you'll continue to stop by. Let us know if there's a lesson we haven't done that you'd really like to see. :)
+TED-Ed would you do a lesson discussing dangerous and/or toxic materials used in tattooing?
+David K Ink used in tattooing is relatively safe. The only problem that arises is if someone is severely allergic to ingredients in the ink, which is why people should test to see if there is anything they might be sensitive to.
If there are toxins in the ink, it would be because of an unprofessional or irresponsible tattooist.
+GirtheAlienGoldfish Another problem with tattoos,regret.
yea
*I'm black, will this anti-tattoo laser kill me?*
+Djumba F. you should get a white tattoo.. otherwise it wont be visible
+Rover Racist
+Rover Okay
+Djumba F. its a necessary complication if you want to remove the tattoo.
+I LIKE FISH STICKS I LIKE FISH STICKS I LIKE FISH STICKS I LIKE FISH STICKS I LIKE FISH STICKS Actually, tattoos are really not very visible on dark skin. So in parts of black Africa, they use a different tactic. They place small things under the skin to raise bumps and make patterns that are permanent. Really.
This guys voice better than the others
One of the differences between a tattooed person an a non-tattooed person is, a tattooed person doesn't care if you're not tattooed.
+Pwrinkle Johnson Also non tattooed people don't look so ridiculous.
+soslothful the art of tattooing is far from stupid
***** Very eloquent. Do you mean your mom's?
***** You have an expansive and expressive, if a very redundant, vocabulary.
***** That's not body art though. That's just ink
I like that this went straight to the point without unnecessary bullshit. "Hi my name is blahblab and Im going to show you" please shoot me.

Steve Harvey winning family Fued by himself and taking home $20million. Uses the money to buy a convertible and a bikini to go to the mad hatter's tea party, trying to escape from Mr. Burns who wants the money. This began as a dream. Would make a good tattoo.
Black Knight For like your entire body! :D
...and I'm in the process of removing a tattoo. I'm on my 11th session and it's still only halfway done *sigh* Kids, think before you get your tattoos. Opt for smaller size, black ink, and placing them where you can cover them with clothes.
if you use numbing cream it helps. its still pain but it becomes bearable pain thats more similar to the level of pain of getting a tattoo. but without the cream, its a motherfucker. yeah your back is a good place to get a tattoo i have one there as well.
ah yeah you can try one session and see how your skin reacts. laser hair removal is actually worth it b/c if you keep going, the hair stops growing back significantly so you can rid of the hair almost permanently
Or henna
What is the tattoo that you want to remove? is that embarrasing?
Nah got plenty of face tats and I have a wife and three kids
People, tattoos aren't for everyone. But just because you don't like tattoos does not mean that no one should get them, nor does it mean that they are worse or lesser because of it. People get tattoos for different reasons. And just because you can't relate to those reasons does not make them any less valid.
Some people find that tattoos make them more beautiful. And are a great way to put a mark on a big part of who they are or what they've been through. Or as a way of turning something ugly into something beautiful. A friend of mine had a really rough go at life, and dealt with a lot of depression, and ended up with some self harm scars. When she recovered and was better mentally, she hated seeing them because they were a permanent reminder of a bad time her life. So she covered them with tattoos, so instead of something ugly on her arms, she has something beautiful.
Or like me, I've gone through some shit, and I found getting a tattoo when I managed to overcome it therapeutic. A permanent reminder that I was strong enough to endure and succeed when other overwhelming problems came my way.
Plus I really, really like the way they make me look :)

My dad has a small tattoo dot on his chest. When my dad had throat cancer many years ago, they needed to mark a spot for them to send the laser to treat the cancer. The spot was a permanent tattoo, and it’s seen as a sign of dad surviving cancer
A few years later we adopted our dog Bagel, and shortly after adopting him we noticed he has a tiny dot on his chest just like dad does. Further proof that he was meant for us.
Thank you TED-Ed for answering my shower thoughts.
i know im not the only one
It's 2019 and people are still bashing people for having tattoos... It's art people, get over it! I honestly don't understand why people care if other people have tattoos or not. Other people's tattoos don't affect your life in any way shape or form.
I Know right
Yeah right !! But be safe tattoos can also have side effects .
It's body mutiliation. I would never hire someone with a tattoo that was visible with work clothes on.
@@michaelanderson2881 Don't worry my dude, thankfully no one cares what you think and tattoing is becoming less and less taboo with each generation. ;)
@@michaelanderson2881 how is it mutilation? nothings being removed, the skin heals fine and it’s completely painless after 2 weeks.. you don’t know what mutilation is
This is great. I was staring at my tattoo through this lesson, feeling fascinated with the whole biological process behind it. Thanks for sharing!
This channel (and TED in general) makes me a very happy person. Thanks for keeping it going!
I just want thank you for all those amazingly simplistic and highly informative videos that you share! They almost do not leave any single question remained in my brain regarding any topic! Thanks to your channel I left smoking and alcohol and now I do not want to have tattoos... I already had basic knowledge from school but your videos explain things sooooo straightforwardly that anyone can perceive them easily. Love this channel and keep it up! Thanks again!
A topic I know pretty much nothing about, good to see some variety on this channel.
this guy addison anderson has the voice of the angels
This is not what I thought. You guys are the best! You hold so much information that many sights don't have. Thanks!
And it is dynamical and cohesive and easy to comprehend. I love them tok
Very interesting and Cool!
Thanks, *****! We hope you'll stop by again.
I am a frequent visitor. Thanks TED-Ed.
I'm glad I watched this video, because this is something I've been wondering about for years.
I have 21 tattoos and was curious about this even though I know a lot about tattoo culture already. Super interesting! 👏🏼
Im thinking of getting one soon. Do they hurt? Like after u get em and are they a lot of work?
@@itztrenzy2986 they can be quite painful depending on how big and where you’re getting them, they’re fine after a day or 2
3:02 I have that exact tattoo in that exact place haha
on your ass ?
moser bear that's an arm but 👌
moser bear 😂😂😂😂
Wow very interesting video. I have started my half sleeve a few years back. Always wondered what makes them stay in the skin. They are indeed addictive and I am planning a large back piece and another half sleeve. Nothing lasts forever and everything fades with time. Its about the journey, the milestones celebrated in ink on a canvas of skin. Its living art and the art and skill off tattooists are improving everyday!
Great video! Correction though: The needles puncture the skin at least 1000-3000 times per minute... not 50 times per minute. Also, depending how the person takes care of a healing tattoo will determine, to a good degree, if it "crusts", as well as how it looks healed. Tattooist at Metamorph Studios, 20 years experience. Thank you for a very informative and fun video!
This video made me appreciate my tattoos even more... damn, my body is so interesting, the way my skin works, the way it looks with the ink inside of it, it's so cool.
This video made me never want to get a tattoo ever lol
@@hil449 same
I just can't get enough with your vids... They're just great! Love this one.
Tattooing is something I don’t care if someone else does, but I will never do myself.
Good boi
That's what my momma used to say to me when I was a young'n
Same here

I just wanna know why
because of ink
thanks for attending my ted talk

Literally this channel has everything I always wondered and I have decided to spend my time here
This channel is giving answers to questions I didn’t ask n I love it
The guy in the thumbnail looks like mr. Armstrong from Fullmetal alchemist
Hahahaha
This is the tattoo technique past down the Armstrong family for generations!
I thought exactly the same XD
+Cole McDonald lol
Omg yes I wasn't the only one thinking this!
Its been 10 years since Ive gotten my first tats. Think im going to save up for more
One of the finest lesson on the subject!! Thank You :)
Just got one on the neck yesterday, painful ngl. But didn't knew all this info god i love this channel
when i was younger i would draw on my skin, and i still do it. Tattoos are beautiful works of art and shouldnt be stigmatized so much
That also explains why you shouldn't drink or smoke while it's healing, there are less macrophages to "soak up the ink". As for these comments, I'd like to express that everybody carries stuff around with them, maybe it's their baby blanket, the locket that their mother gave them... but some people like to travel light and keep the memento on their skins. It's a personal choice and it doesn't make you a better or worse person.
I have been asking this for a very long time now. It's answered finally! Thank you!
Can I just say that I loveeeeeee these videos! Huge TED-Ed fan ❤️❤️❤️

Given by the title: Claudia Aguirre is what makes tattoo permanent.
Thanks for answering a question that was bugging me since the last 7 years!!
As a nursing student who also does tattoos. This is now my favorite video of yours.
A nurse tattooist sounds like a badass combo, I'd probably trust my life on one, and I'm not even into tattoos
Macrophages and fibroblasts sound like names really cool sci-fi monsters or weapons.
Way to be on my recommended after I literally got a tattoo
I just got my first tattoo a month and a half ago, was so excited/nervous now I'm ready to just be covered in them
Thank you for your hard work
The way the cells are shown makes it feel as if there are tons of little people living inside me
Give a show called "Cells at Work" a try. All of your cells are represented by little people. :) Entertaining and informative show.
A 6k year old practice and most major airlines refuse to hire me because I have a tattoo on my lower arm. 😒
Gitana Fox 6000 bce. Which means it’s over 8000 years old. It’s passed time to get over our fear of tattoos.
*Rant continues* You can say that again! Won't hire because "the tattoo might offend someone" ughhh pretty sure that's prejudicial.
What's the tattoo of?
h maybe it's a lightning bolt going through a plane ?
@@zunaidkajee4540 Lmao
Always wondered if cells regenerate why tattoos remain in them. Thanks for the clear-up!
Really nice video.
Dude i just got another tattoo yesterday, they corporations are watching man
same
yep, definitely not getting a tattoo
Same, poor cells
yep, seems painful and abusive to the immune system
+Nkosi Carter-Fisher Yep, you're attacking your own body, it's not like smoking but you get the idea
+JonatasAdoM Bits not like smoking wtf hahaha
Theres nothing unhealthy about a tattoo, its like playing with a cat -the cat scratches you and you might bleed a little but thats it. The little wounds heal so fast.
Its like falling over. you might have little wounds on your knees but thats it.
Smoking is cancerous and not only causes really bad health but it can also kill you
Joshua Kemmerer Yeah
Makes sense , I always wondered how tattoos stayed on the skin .
Question answered , thanks
Thanks for sharing. Great video.
I'd really like to have a simple tattoo on my wrist! :D
So if humans lived forever, with their skin consistently going through this slow healing process, how long would it take for a tattoo to fade completely?
Just got a tattoo last night on my back and arm. I somewhat enjoyed the feeling and I thought about this video while getting them
wow couldn't explain it better! i really like the animation too!
Why do black tattoos become blue after a while ?
ouch
Right? ***** :)
Wow, they actually replied...
big oof
No-one reply until another year
very well made and informative video!!
So easy to understand, thanks
I was doing research for my psychology homework and somehow ended up here 🙄😅
They're almost-permanent. I had a huge mistake tattoo removed with laser treatments. PSA: Never get a matching tattoo with ANYone for ANY reason. Relationships can change in an instant.....tattoos......they take a lot of money, time, and pain to change. Smarter Every Day has a great video about how laser tattoo removal works.
Loved the animation!! Made it all easier for a non-primarly-EN-speaking-person.
타투가 어떻게 영구적이게 되는지에 대하여 배워보는 시간이 되었습니다. 재미있는 시간이 되었습니다. 알아가는것이 정말 재미있는것 같습니다. 좋은 시간이 되었습니다. 감사합니다.
I've got 9 Tatts at the moment and I'm Proud of it - it has been in our family for Generations to get inked. I'll get some more in future :D
thanks for the info though
I'll never regret my tattoos ! #proud
Do you now?
@@aichagrobinebazinkane1680 nah, she's more commited than you will ever be in your entire life
So you have a cristal ball...
Had mine 32 years now, never a days regret.
Because i chose wisely and thought how it would look on me when I'm an o.a.p,
Also i had the good sense to be sober when i chose them.
This is so cool!!!! Thanks, TED-Ed!!!
Great lession :)
1:26 *oh boy your gonna love this dot tatoo you got there*
i don't get why people who don't like tattoos have to constantly feel the need to talk down against people who do like tattoos. if you don't like it, then fine. but you wouldn't go up to a beautiful mural painted on a wall and say "that is ugly! how could someone ruin that plain white wall with this permanent eyesore!" so don't go up to a tattooed person saying "how could you ruin your body like that! you'll regret it later!" it's their body, let them decorate it the way they want.
Its kinda like breast implants. I don't want females to do it so I speak against it.
omarct what women do with their bodies is none of your business, same with someone who wants a tattoo. let people live.
appleslinky Tattooing is a form of art. However breast implants are not, it's somebody who is insecure about their body. While I don't condone breast implants, I don't condemn it either. People should enjoy life as they see fit and not worry about what others think.
Guan Yu I agree with your points. I feel for omarct to speak against it is rude to those who want the implants done, however. People should be able to do whatever they want with their body, no judgement. I feel you have the right outlook.
Abby what people do with there bodies is our interest as a whole the better thing to say is who cares if it’s not hurting anyone..
just got my first tattoo and am so in love with it!
Beautiful video, animation and explanation!
One for piercings too, please^^
Wow the comments just seem to be filled with people going against tattoos. Its art, not some horrific body mutilation. I have several tattoos myself, some from almost 10 years ago. Im still as happy with them since the day i got them.
Uncle Tom hey I know this comment is old, but as someone who will never get a tattoo I can respect it as an art form. But also a lotta ppl against tattoos jus don't want permanent markings on their body, art or not
Respect is as a time in ur life , no matter if it’s negative or positive . Just like a memory u can’t run away from it
I҉ ҉l҉i҉k҉e҉ ҉b҉t҉s҉ xD
It can also be a family marking as well, for example, some of my family members have a red dot tattooed on them to honor the death of my great grandfather who died from cancer.
Uncle Tom I only saw a few comments bashing tattoos. The rest were about the animation and how informative it was. But you’re right. It’s not mutilation at all, it’s an image or a resemblance that is so important to you that you decide to make it a piece of you.
Kat Von D at 0:15!
I don't even need to ask who got this recommended... Things like this should bring us together!
this is so well made i love it.
minute 1:00 I used a device like the center right one to tattoo "punk" on my knee when I was 16 :D it really was just a pencil with a sharpened needle on it and blue water colour and I kind of slapped the pencil with another stick. Now 11 years later it's still there. I wouldn't do it again though. It didn't get infected at all but it's just a blurry mess now :P
thats a cool story to share!
That's a great snapshot of the 16 year old who became you. I've always thought that tattoos are like diary entries that take a little more commitment than most. I bet that section of your life is just a little sharper in your memory than it would be had you not given yourself a daily reminder of it.
So many negative comments
Tattoo can be a symbol of who you are or a memory of a family members...
That's so cool! Can't wait to get more tattoos!
Such a great video for teaching the amusing science!
This just made me want to not get a tattoo even more than before
its nice to know. but in that case, what makes white ink not permanent at all??
White ink is permanent, that's a myth that it isn't. It's just that the people saying that are so pale it just looks like scars... Look at white in any tattoo- it's white, not scars. Scars would leave a raised appearance.
Plus, then how would black people have white tattoos if they were just scars?
Those animations make science fun
Me: watches 1 Tedtalk
Me: ends up watching 2 hours of tedtalk
Welcome to the club
inked and proud...
I wonder how the artificial ink permanently staying in your body doesn't cause any complications.
Oviously it's not posonous as lead etc., but almost everything else that gets stuck permanently to your body is harmful to some degree...
Not true. A friend of mine has had a stone in the palm of his hand since he was a child. You can feel it through the skin and you can see it as a little black smudge a couple of millimeters in diameter. It's never caused him any problems and the doctor said he wouldn't remove it because it was more likely to cause issues than leaving it.
Thank uuuu!! Perfectly done!! 😍🙏
i never thought about this until I saw this in my recommended
