I remember a cadaver I had the opportunity learn from years ago. They had multiple tattoos on their body. Remember our TA pulling the skin back so we could see the tattoo on dermis. What we didn't expect was seeing evidence of the tattoo ink embedded in the muscle layer. It wasn't all of the tattoo but you could definitely make out the basic shape of the tattoo.
I was also hoping he'd show us a dissection of a piece of skin with a tattoo on it. The video was good, but that would have been more interesting imho - to actually see how deep tattoos go
@@volksweegan2784 the body was definitely very old at the time of death. The tattoos were not sharp like you would see in a newer tattoo. They looked decades old. Not sure if it was a shop or military. This was almost 20 years ago I saw them so my memory isn't exact. I just remember being shocked at seeing the tattoo on the muscle.
Summary: So a tatoo isn't just some drawing on your skin, all your cells (macrophages/white blood cells) in your skin are actually constantly working to contain the ink on the same spot because the cells can't get rid of it but don't want it to spread either.
Honestly this vid should be severely reduced to the length of this comment. 16 minutes of constant definitions and long drawn out explanations to just explain what you said.
I served in the US Navy from 1964-1968 but never got a single tattoo. As a Hospital Corpsman (Medic) I learned a bit about what injecting ink into you skin can do and avoided them, even when I was a bit drunk.
Good for you,,,,you made the right decision…..back in those days they used lead in their ink, I worked in a hospital and found out that because of the lead, you could not be in an X-ray machine for diagnostic purposes, because the lead would arc in the X-ray machine,,,,,I don’t know what they use now,,,,,,,I don’t have any tattoos either…..
Fr I don’t remember one single thing I learned in science or any type of test u study for. It’s just memorizing shit that u gonna forget the next day. So pointless 🙄
Maybe because the school teachers usually are not actual experts on the matter. They have general knowledge of what they teach, but many of them have never really worked on the field.
8:48 It's amazing how the immune system works sometimes. Knowing it cannot remove the foreign substance, it isolate it so that it will not potentially harm or infect other areas of the body.
The human body and his anatomy is amazing ,the human body has been made to ressist almost everything and fight off anything ,we humans just under rate the human body ,but when you know those things ,the anatomy is just pure beauty
@Randomstuff460 yuck to regular humans things? to science? people like you simply don’t like knowledge and want everything to be perfect when even you aren’t perfect
My tattoos have blown out and I always felt it was bc of the locations where my skin is thinner. Now I know, another great video. Honestly, I can't get enough of this channel atm!!
This is awesome! I'm donating my body to science when I die and I'm heavily tattooed, so I hope I'll delight at least a few students when they whip off the sheet to see an old lady covered in skull tattoos.
During the natural healing process, the protein fiber collagen will begin to grow within the tattoo. This extra protein growth can make the skin of the tattoo feel tighter than usual👍
My brother in law is a anthologist, one time while he was working in ER a patient came in with a gun shot wound the surgeon having to repair the wound damage had to cut open the tattoo laden victim and after sewing the patient back up did not get the tattoo realigned because of removed tissue. Needless to say the victim was more upset about the tattoo than being nearly killed from the gun shot.

Let others do the things they find beautiful, just like you do the things you find more beautiful. And thanks. I really am enjoying my pokemon music.

Whenever I see body parts that belonged to an actual person, I always ask myself "how did they die? Why did they choose to donate their body? What was their life like? What kind of person were they?"
My father considered it while on his deathbed. I think it was mainly to save money for funeral expenses so my mom would have more in the bank. But my son was employed at a medical research facility where a lot of these remains end up and I didn't want my dad cut up into bits as it was described to me and thrown into an incinerator anonymously . We opted for cremation at a cemetery but no big fancy funeral.
Instead of fycking wasting time on yt and being a hardcore soccer fan. How about actually worry about your future and concentrate on studies? You ain't a kid anymore. Nobody is going to spoonfeed you a successful life. Saying dumb shit like "I need someone who teaches math to me like he does" dude, I bet, you won't even study even in that scenario, if you actually wanted to study you would have researches other ways of getting hold of knowledge instead of getting an excuse such as "my math teacher was shit" Anyways I don't want to preach philosophy to a dumb teen. You'll end up as an average 9-5 Joe at this rate.
My daughter got her eyebrows tattooed about 4 years ago. They were brown, now they're purple. I told her not to do it. Now she has no money for a new tat to restore the color of her brows. Always listen to your Mama. Interesting information here. Thank you.
As someone who has about 40% of his epidermis covered in tattoos, I found this quite interesting. Also I appreciated the tone of the video. Very nice indeed. 👌🏼
I liked this video and have seen others that you've done. I'm a professor in a school of nursing, and I appreciate how you can explain A&P in a way that makes sense to a lay person - also appreciate the cadavers. One thing I was hoping you would touch on in this one is the heavy metals that are in all tattoo inks - each color has a predominance of a specific heavy metal. They have been linked to increased sensitivity in general in people, including joint replacements when they become necessary - that good ol' well-meaning inflammatory process.
This guys is really giving a great lesson. Sometimes, some of these things are not taught in school but with some good Samaritan like this guy, education becomes easy for those willing to learn Online about certain Realities which are not sometimes taught in school
Wait you guys don't learn where you're supposed to tattoo people? Like, i thought they explained to you "So be careful, don't get to the hypodermis, should be easy, remember we're working with the dermis here" or something like that
Now I know why my ankle tat is blurring loads! Lol The 1st part i had done nearly 30 yrs ago, it's well blurred. But the bit I had done bout 20yrs ago is holding up much better. & now I think bout it - 1st artist was more painful, hit alot of bone! 2nd artist was a much lighter touch. I just assumed all tat artist's learned about the dermis's, skin layers!?! Surely theyd want their art to last longer & still look good. I mean, thats how they get a lot of their customers!???
@@bubblegum5399 Agree guy i did my first arm sleeve at felt alot more cause he was alot more aggressive it wasnt too bad but more aggressive my left leg and right arm at other artists are holding alot better then my first sleeve over time and those artists were alot more gentle..
Not just the skin: "After tattooing, a part of the injected tattoo inks leaves the skin via the wounded surface. Pigment particles remain in the dermis and absorb light in a specific spectral range causing the color of the tattoo. Another fraction of the injected tattoo ink is removed from the skin passively via lymph or blood vessels or is actively transported by migrating cells. As a result, tattoo pigments are found in the local lymph nodes but are likely also transported to other organs such as liver, lungs or kidney. Experiments with mice suggest that pigment particles of tattoo suspensions are picked up by Kupffer cells inside the liver as indicated by the detection of particles via electron microscopy." "Tattoo inks are suspensions that may contain up to 100 different chemical compounds that may or may not be added intentionally. The coloring pigment is mixed with solvents, preservatives, and various other substances. Although they are injected into the human body, tattoo inks usually do not need to fulfill specific safety requirements in contrast to other substances that are inserted into the human body, such as medical drugs or implants. The exact list of ingredients, if known at all, depends on the practice of each manufacturer. Tattooists and beauticians purchase the tattoo inks directly from suppliers or through the internet ." "Potential hazardous properties of chemicals in tattoo inks include carcinogenic, immunotoxic, and sensitizing properties. Tattoo inks containing hazardous chemicals are frequently found on the European market. The major substances of concern detected in analyzed samples are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) (43 %), primary aromatic amines (PAA) (14 %), heavy metals (9 %) and preservatives (6 %)." Additionally, German studies have found a that tattooed individuals have a higher rate of liver disease occurring within 10 yrs of tattooing.
Did those German studies note if the sample of tattooed individuals who had a higher rate of liver disease... also lived a wilder lifestyle that included alcohol consumption and/or other substances? I bet that's an important detail. Correlation does not equate to causation.
Immune system is more like - Wtf? Most of those tattoos are not using dyes that are human friendly and are often toxic to the body. If you choose to get one, choose someone that uses non-toxic dyes.
I think this "I can't get rid of it, so imma just keep it from spreading" makes sense. When I was a kid, I accidentally jammed a sharp pencil into my finger and underneath the skin of that finger, there's still a mark. So I essentially accidentally got a permanent pencil tattoo?
Same on my right middle finger where your joints near your palms are, i had this one very sharpened to hell pencil that i just poked my finger to feel its sharpness, someone bumped into my hand that i was holding the pencil so it pierced my finger, i wasn't able to bend my finger as it got pass my skin when i looked at it a bit closer, it's been years sine that happened and i can see a small black dot at the spot the pencil passed through
I’m taking Anatomy right now online and the definitions can be daunting, but the visuals you provide with breakdown makes learning relatively painless. THANK YOU.
I've also heard, in some people, ink may be going into the lymph system Lymph nodes Its similar to some women getting hair straightened and some goes below the dermis Not right away though Tattooing didn't get popular until early 90s
@tyrastarrweaver I think they keep them stored in embalming (?) fluid when not in use, as you can when they do the up-close shots a little bit of clear fluid on the body part, plus their gloves always get wet during the demo.
@@alguemaleatorio8713 I wouldn’t say it was for nothing. The video accomplishes exactly what it was meant to do, which is to teach you about tattoos in a more in depth way than what most people would normally be used to. You can also use some of the information in the video to maybe pass an anatomy or biology final, if you are in that circumstance (this is said as a generality, not directly specifically to you in case that was lost in translation). Yes, it’s a bit disappointing to not see the graph tattooed, but it was very likely just not an option.
And scarred! People these days are covered in so much ink they might as well have been dunked in blue ink and become Smurfs. I've spent 62-yrs trying to limit the number of scars on my body, unsuccessfully, and I sure as hell am not going to scar myself on purpose.
It's crazy to think how hes just playing with a piece of skin that was once on someone that walked around, went to work, did what we all do and now its just some slab.
It has always been about the content not the container. That's why Jesus could say what will a man gain if looses his soul after gaining the whole world??. Your soul and mine are of more value than our bodies because it will return to dust some day.
I can't believe I only just found this gem of a channel, I love the fact that real anatomy is shown here, it's super educational and I'm learning so much!
@@alejandroperez5368smart people don't get them. Look at these waterheads getting face tattoos these days because they have no personality and have very low IQ's
@@mastaw It is stated that the body is attacked, that's why there's inflammation. Plus, there's a never ending immunological defense against the stupid ink which shouldn't be there. Also, not all ink is confined in the skin, in fact, some does manage to reach lymph nodes, watch from 10:05 I'd rather have my immune system not doing extra work.
I've learned more about the human body watching just 5 videos from this channel than all of public education combined ever taught me. these videos are not only informative but entertaining and easy to understand! amazing work!
Not only is this an interesting video even for we the non tattooed, but potentially important information for those choosing a tattoo artist. Make sure the artist is experienced and knows this information so that you get a tattoo that is properly executed for the intended area of skin. Great presentation, well done.
Microbiologist/Geneticist/Pharmacologist here and tattoos have been happening for thousands of years without causing any problems in 99.9% of people that have had them, even done in unhygienic ways or with inks that contain metals like lead, arsenic, and mercury or other solid compounds. Still, the tiny amounts of ink used make this similar to levels that are in many things we ingest daily including water. Nowadays, tattoos are harmless if the artist is skilled and hygienic, using an antiseptic spray every five or so minutes, and if you aren't allergic to the ink (the most significant risk in a proper studio) or reactive to dyes, usually red which can irritate some people. This video is a bit dramatic; collagen is so abundant, and the inflammation is not that bad, especially if you are relaxed. We have inflammation at all times in the body, but we have an elaborate cellular process to deal with it, or we can even utilize compounds like ibuprofen that can make it minimize it. Tattoo ink does not contain plastics; it contains inorganic pigments such as carbon black, the most common, synthetic organic pigments as colorants (azo dyes or similar dyes), glycerol, ethyl or isopropyl alcohol, distilled water, and some brands use preservatives to reduce contamination risk and to add viscosity. The contaminants in some colors are metals that are discrete molecules or small solids in cheaper inks that do not get used much. The metal molecules are compounds such as iron oxide, chromium, selenium, aluminum, and titanium dioxide (although not in a lot of countries, as a lot of these things are illegal in most regions now). Occasionally, there is beryllium or antimony in trace amounts in some ink brands, depending on the laws in the country. Still, most do not have any toxic metals our cells and the immune system can't deal with in trace amounts, and many countries have banned them. Some of these are already endogenous or included in multivitamins to improve health, included in medications as fillers, vaccines, and other injectable pharmaceuticals as adjuvants and preservatives. Some of these sound nasty, but for comparison, our cells produce peroxide and formaldehyde and other things that lysosomes and other organelles can deal with. Our cellular system and genes can handle a lot and deal with corrupt or senescent cells, damaged or incorrect genes, inflammation due to aging, sunlight, and other natural stress, and more daily. We can even reduce or reverse these things with natural supplements or certain practices and change things epigenetically. I have several tattoos, including standard tattoos, traditional tattoos inked in Borneo/Sarawak with the manually tapped needle method, and I even have deep tissue tattoos where the needles are thicker and pushed much deeper, they create a scar, so if the ink fades or you get laser removal, it is still visible due to it being a scar because it is deep and essentially cut in. Tattoo aftercare is simple and hygienic with bepanthan cream or a high-quality tattoo cream that is made for tattoos and keeps the ink in whilst being antiseptic so no infection occurs. The key is don't get cheap tattoos and don't get them done by a professional artist who isn't both skilled and hygienic and look after it properly while it is healing, then you won't have any problems.
The Yakuza have resorted to purchasing livers in order to deal with their liver failure from full body tattoos. Tattoed skin does not sweat which can lead to liver toxicity and the need for liver transplant.

As a person with ADHD, i focused on this video like never. I don't get enough support to get something like homeschooling or individual teaching, but if I'm ever able to I hope to be teached by someone like you. Also, I love your excintement (I'm dyslexic) in voice and facial expression troughout the video.
nah it's because the sponsor is relatable to video's content. if it was something like "a new microwave oven!" that would've broke in the interest in the ad. some of these youtubers doesn't know this.
This dude just answered so many questions for me. Every time I get a tattoo I always sit there wondering how it all works and how it manages to stay intact
I recently saw an online dissection of tattoo lymph nodes, not pretty, black and green saturation, exactly the same colour as the ink used to create them.
I just had breast cancer surgery, I had dye injected into my breast and it travels to the first couple of lymph nodes under your arm, and dyes them blue. The surgeon them knows which are the first lymph nodes and can remove them to see I the cancer has spread.Thankfully for me it hadn’t spread
Im a tattoo artist and found this very interesting! Every time i felt i needed to comment something he would mention it, everything except why stretching the skin during a tattoo is so important? Its like drawing on a deflated balloon. If you dont stretch it out, it doesnt turn out right.
I’m not a science teacher or anything but my guess is that the dense cells on the epidermis creates crinkles in the skin and the tattoo tool needs smooth surface to properly glide the ink. It’s like trying to iron a shirt that came right out of the dryer without straighten it out- the iron wouldn’t be able to effectively smooth out the wrinkles without you straighten out the shirt
saniderm's wound dressings really are magic for tattoo aftercare, i was so excited seeing that sponsorship! ive got several tattoos and used all different aftercare methods, and saniderm/tegaderm is by far my favorite. so comfortable, breatheable, and makes my skin so happy during the healing process. it seems to even reduce swelling, pain, and itching during tattoo healing too. very cool to see them sponsor your content!
@@whitemoonwolf13 definitely saniderm or something equivalent if you can get large enough sheets, its great stuff, antimicrobial (iirc), waterproof but breatheable, and can be left on for up to seven days without needing to be replaced. if you cant get it big enough, i reccommend tattoo goo's antibacterial soap and either vaseline intensive care (unscented), or original bag balm :)
@@whitemoonwolf13 Hey there! Like Kippy has said, Saniderm is a great way to heal your fresh tattoo. Saniderm uses a process called wet healing and, by doing this, speeds up the healing process, reduces itching and scabbing. The recommended instructions are to keep the first piece on for 24 hours since this will fill up with plasma. Take the first piece off, wash with antibacterial soap (Saniderm sells foam soap), pat dry, and replace it with another piece. That piece can stay on for 4-6 days. Afterwards, you can use moisturizer, like our all natural Sanibalm, to keep your tattoo hydrated for years to come! Hope this helps 🙌

This video isn’t necessarily saying tattoos are bad (relative term), but explaining how each anatomical layer works and why tattoos stay in place. As a medical double major myself, this was a simple refresher.
I find it rather disingenuous that a person that should know the human body better than most is saying tattoos are neither good nor bad. Especially when you know for a fact that the body’s immune system actively tries to get rid of them. How can anyone look at this and objectively say tattoos are good or not bad, especially when you realize they’re functionally useless? They do nothing except to elicit a certain aesthetic.
Saying that something is functionally useless only bc it serves a certain aesthetic purpose is to say that art is useless and unnecessary to humans. @@dukeonwheels
@@Laura-ob4om That’s reaching. Art is necessary. Tattoos are not. The human body and its design is a work of art in and of itself. Putting tattoos on it is akin to vandalizing a building with spray paint. But it’s even worse because you’re purposely introducing a foreign, inorganic substance into the body that it is not designed to break down. How the body responds to tattoos should be a telling indicator of how they should be treated.
I'm very prone to auto-immune problems and really just have an inflammatory reaction to pretty much anything. Prone to eczema, easily get heat rash, also just random pains and itches in general. I'm afraid getting a tattoo would just bother my body a little too much. EDIT: I love all the different comments you’re all sharing! (But the ones who think tattoos are ugly in general... that’s not what this is about and is kind of a useless thing to mention here.) And I really do think in the end, everyone is different and you’re the one who knows your body the best! To those suggesting a tiny swatch test; very clever idea! ;)
I’ve had a couple tattoos now, and I can personally attest to saniderm. Great product, and water proof, so you can shower with it. Great video, learned a lot about the anatomical side of tattoos.
This is what I am calling perfect teaching & knowledge transfer. Clear, understandable and freaking interesting. Even for a foreigner like me. It's a pleasure and joy to watch. You must have the luckiest students.
I feel exactly likewise, Adaobi. As a PhD graduate in communication sciences in speech therapy since 2019, till date I still feel like a student. I enjoy every bit of it. Very well presented 👍🏾 I’m Nigerian/British, btw 😊
They should start having people like this male passionate videos about various subjects and show them in schools. Teachers just play the videos and handout quizzes. RUclips taught me more than anything in school
@Brooke Buzzies yeah :// med students are rly used to cadavers bc we have to conduct experiments on them but putting a trigger warning would’ve been rly helpful
@Brooke Buzzies I think it would be reasonable to assume that on an anatomy channel, you’re going to see real human body parts. That’s kind of the point. The warning is in the very name of the channel. (Honestly not trying to sound rude. Just logical.)
Fascinating! I don’t desire a tattoo, but if you’re going to have one, it’s good to know what your tattoo artist should also know. Knowledge is s good thing!
My anatomy and physiology class in high school years ago was never this interesting. These guys do a great job explaining everything about the human body. Love these videos.
Yes, and think of how those white blood cells could be helping the body instead if there is ever any sickness/infection in the person's future lifetime.🤔😎✌🏽
@@vis-- I guess you are right, antigens produced for microbes that enter our body are only produced when the microbe actually enters it, but the only line here is that if your immunity system is already weak, the amount of antigens produced could be less and not be able to contain a virus/microbe
I had a medium sized upper arm tattoo disappear completely. Years later I had another done in nearly the same place and that one faded away completely as well. On number three now and the only thing I've learned is that tattoos get more expensive the older you get.
I knew a guy who couldn't keep red ink. All other colors held just fine with the expected aging, but not red ink. Maybe you guys have some weirdly strong white blood cells?
Are we gonna talk about how amazing this channel is in teaching us the correct information, not only that but he is able to use real body parts and human skin for the demonstrations
A party trick in our studio was guessing peoples lifestyles and jobs/careers by the makeup of their skin! We can tell a lot by someone's skin and the variety in how it is to work with and how it responds is huge and very interesting! I'm a decade in to tattooing and still come across new skin types and clients all the time!
One of the most important reasons to not get a tattoo is that the ink is not regulated, or controlled in any way by any government agency. You just don't know what they're putting under your skin. It could be automotive pigment, paint pigment, or who knows what.
OMG!!! As an esthetician, SMP specialist and microblader, this is such an AMAZING video and to see how the ink actually gets deposited in the dermis is mind blowing. 😍👏🏽. I’ll start sending this video to my clients to explain how SMP and microblading differ from tattooing. I ❤️ this channel.
I'll be glad, when tattoos are as temporary as a hair service, like "permanents" etc. If you want to keep it, get a youchuo, or let it completely fade It may even bring more money to tattoo artists
The presenters of this amazing channel/programme of education, are amazing. The jargon is authentic put in a sequence that’s so easy to understand and it’s sprinkled in a way that’s not overwhelming. Great presentations guys. I really enjoy watching you at work. There’s a real art to presenting without having to compromise the real terms.
Firstly, I think biology teachers should show this video in classes. It's super fascinating and will capture a kids' attention. Secondly this video has answered every question I've wanted to know about tattoos and then some. Thank you! 8mill views is not enough.
@@hooligansauce9652 I am talking about the whole system . Like the cells repairing itself and replacing everyday to keep us away from decay. Not just immune lol
That anime has a lot of potential... they should do more seasons... a drug addict cells... would be so eductational andmaybe add some story on the persons's body something like "Osmosis Jones" (Bill Murray like-character or so)
What does that cost, generally speaking, and does it cost more than getting the actual tattoo? I realize this is a broad question, but any information would be helpful. I assume it's multiple sessions depending on the ink choice too.
@@mkl5448 Cost depends on the size of the tattoo. I’m removing 4 small ones and it’s about $160 a session. I’ve had 5-6 sessions and might need one more (if I choose) So, yes, it’s more expensive than the tattoos I have.
This makes me wonder if a person with a lot of tattoos has a slightly weaker immune system since the body has to waste energy throwing white blood cells at the ink to contain it, and replacing those cells over time.
Well i have 2 tattoos on arms and since last year when i get my first tattoo and then second fww months later. Surprising my immunity system is way bwtter than it was before. + I losed good amount of weight and since start of last year i wasnt ill not even little , even though i runned in winter , or was out in rain or when wind was strong
So a tattooed persons white blood cells will just stay put, holding down that ink for all their life time? That's a full time job with no pay. That's punishment.
eh ya kidneys and liver and constantly dealing with the after effects of a good night, my white blood cells get to look rad for a while. Like cmon, a white blood cell colored black? SO much bragging rights

But my son was employed at a medical research facility where a lot of these remains end up and I didn't want my dad cut up into bits as it was described to me and thrown into an incinerator anonymously . We opted for cremation at a cemetery but no big fancy funeral.

I liked this video and have seen others that you've done. I'm a professor in a school of nursing, and I appreciate how you can explain A&P in a way that makes sense to a lay person - also appreciate the cadavers. One thing I was hoping you would touch on in this one is the heavy metals that are in all tattoo inks - each color has a predominance of a specific heavy metal. They have been linked to increased sensitivity in general in people, including joint replacements when they become necessary - that good ol' well-meaning inflammatory process.

I am tattoo artist. And this, is one of the most useful and interesting videos about tattoo´s in RUclips. Very well explained!!!
Wait you guys don't learn where you're supposed to tattoo people? Like, i thought they explained to you "So be careful, don't get to the hypodermis, should be easy, remember we're working with the dermis here" or something like that
Now I know why my ankle tat is blurring loads! Lol
The 1st part i had done nearly 30 yrs ago, it's well blurred. But the bit I had done bout 20yrs ago is holding up much better.
& now I think bout it - 1st artist was more painful, hit alot of bone! 2nd artist was a much lighter touch.

Not just the skin:
"After tattooing, a part of the injected tattoo inks leaves the skin via the wounded surface. Pigment particles remain in the dermis and absorb light in a specific spectral range causing the color of the tattoo. Another fraction of the injected tattoo ink is removed from the skin passively via lymph or blood vessels or is actively transported by migrating cells. As a result, tattoo pigments are found in the local lymph nodes but are likely also transported to other organs such as liver, lungs or kidney. Experiments with mice suggest that pigment particles of tattoo suspensions are picked up by Kupffer cells inside the liver as indicated by the detection of particles via electron microscopy."
"Tattoo inks are suspensions that may contain up to 100 different chemical compounds that may or may not be added intentionally. The coloring pigment is mixed with solvents, preservatives, and various other substances. Although they are injected into the human body, tattoo inks usually do not need to fulfill specific safety requirements in contrast to other substances that are inserted into the human body, such as medical drugs or implants. The exact list of ingredients, if known at all, depends on the practice of each manufacturer. Tattooists and beauticians purchase the tattoo inks directly from suppliers or through the internet ."
"Potential hazardous properties of chemicals in tattoo inks include carcinogenic, immunotoxic, and sensitizing properties. Tattoo inks containing hazardous chemicals are frequently found on the European market. The major substances of concern detected in analyzed samples are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) (43 %), primary aromatic amines (PAA) (14 %), heavy metals (9 %) and preservatives (6 %)."
Additionally, German studies have found a that tattooed individuals have a higher rate of liver disease occurring within 10 yrs of tattooing.
Did those German studies note if the sample of tattooed individuals who had a higher rate of liver disease... also lived a wilder lifestyle that included alcohol consumption and/or other substances? I bet that's an important detail. Correlation does not equate to causation.

I think this "I can't get rid of it, so imma just keep it from spreading" makes sense. When I was a kid, I accidentally jammed a sharp pencil into my finger and underneath the skin of that finger, there's still a mark. So I essentially accidentally got a permanent pencil tattoo?

You can also use some of the information in the video to maybe pass an anatomy or biology final, if you are in that circumstance (this is said as a generality, not directly specifically to you in case that was lost in translation).
Yes, it’s a bit disappointing to not see the graph tattooed, but it was very likely just not an option.

Not only is this an interesting video even for we the non tattooed, but potentially important information for those choosing a tattoo artist. Make sure the artist is experienced and knows this information so that you get a tattoo that is properly executed for the intended area of skin. Great presentation, well done.
If you do no color. I won't but I understand others
Microbiologist/Geneticist/Pharmacologist here and tattoos have been happening for thousands of years without causing any problems in 99.9% of people that have had them, even done in unhygienic ways or with inks that contain metals like lead, arsenic, and mercury or other solid compounds. Still, the tiny amounts of ink used make this similar to levels that are in many things we ingest daily including water. Nowadays, tattoos are harmless if the artist is skilled and hygienic, using an antiseptic spray every five or so minutes, and if you aren't allergic to the ink (the most significant risk in a proper studio) or reactive to dyes, usually red which can irritate some people. This video is a bit dramatic; collagen is so abundant, and the inflammation is not that bad, especially if you are relaxed. We have inflammation at all times in the body, but we have an elaborate cellular process to deal with it, or we can even utilize compounds like ibuprofen that can make it minimize it. Tattoo ink does not contain plastics; it contains inorganic pigments such as carbon black, the most common, synthetic organic pigments as colorants (azo dyes or similar dyes), glycerol, ethyl or isopropyl alcohol, distilled water, and some brands use preservatives to reduce contamination risk and to add viscosity. The contaminants in some colors are metals that are discrete molecules or small solids in cheaper inks that do not get used much. The metal molecules are compounds such as iron oxide, chromium, selenium, aluminum, and titanium dioxide (although not in a lot of countries, as a lot of these things are illegal in most regions now). Occasionally, there is beryllium or antimony in trace amounts in some ink brands, depending on the laws in the country. Still, most do not have any toxic metals our cells and the immune system can't deal with in trace amounts, and many countries have banned them. Some of these are already endogenous or included in multivitamins to improve health, included in medications as fillers, vaccines, and other injectable pharmaceuticals as adjuvants and preservatives. Some of these sound nasty, but for comparison, our cells produce peroxide and formaldehyde and other things that lysosomes and other organelles can deal with. Our cellular system and genes can handle a lot and deal with corrupt or senescent cells, damaged or incorrect genes, inflammation due to aging, sunlight, and other natural stress, and more daily. We can even reduce or reverse these things with natural supplements or certain practices and change things epigenetically. I have several tattoos, including standard tattoos, traditional tattoos inked in Borneo/Sarawak with the manually tapped needle method, and I even have deep tissue tattoos where the needles are thicker and pushed much deeper, they create a scar, so if the ink fades or you get laser removal, it is still visible due to it being a scar because it is deep and essentially cut in. Tattoo aftercare is simple and hygienic with bepanthan cream or a high-quality tattoo cream that is made for tattoos and keeps the ink in whilst being antiseptic so no infection occurs. The key is don't get cheap tattoos and don't get them done by a professional artist who isn't both skilled and hygienic and look after it properly while it is healing, then you won't have any problems.
The Yakuza have resorted to purchasing livers in order to deal with their liver failure from full body tattoos. Tattoed skin does not sweat which can lead to liver toxicity and the need for liver transplant.

I have 23 tattoos and I found this very informative, thank you.
Im a tattoo artist and found this very interesting! Every time i felt i needed to comment something he would mention it, everything except why stretching the skin during a tattoo is so important? Its like drawing on a deflated balloon. If you dont stretch it out, it doesnt turn out right.
That makes sense! I've used a sharpie on a balloon & then inflated it for sure
Wow
Could that be explained or?..
I’m not a science teacher or anything but my guess is that the dense cells on the epidermis creates crinkles in the skin and the tattoo tool needs smooth surface to properly glide the ink. It’s like trying to iron a shirt that came right out of the dryer without straighten it out- the iron wouldn’t be able to effectively smooth out the wrinkles without you straighten out the shirt

saniderm's wound dressings really are magic for tattoo aftercare, i was so excited seeing that sponsorship! ive got several tattoos and used all different aftercare methods, and saniderm/tegaderm is by far my favorite. so comfortable, breatheable, and makes my skin so happy during the healing process. it seems to even reduce swelling, pain, and itching during tattoo healing too. very cool to see them sponsor your content!
Glad to hear that! We love Saniderm!!
Thank you for the love @Kippy!!! We're glad you like our product!!
fuck and i've just been using jergen's. i'm getting another thigh tattoo at the end of the summer, anything you would recommend?
@@whitemoonwolf13 definitely saniderm or something equivalent if you can get large enough sheets, its great stuff, antimicrobial (iirc), waterproof but breatheable, and can be left on for up to seven days without needing to be replaced. if you cant get it big enough, i reccommend tattoo goo's antibacterial soap and either vaseline intensive care (unscented), or original bag balm :)
@@whitemoonwolf13 Hey there! Like Kippy has said, Saniderm is a great way to heal your fresh tattoo. Saniderm uses a process called wet healing and, by doing this, speeds up the healing process, reduces itching and scabbing. The recommended instructions are to keep the first piece on for 24 hours since this will fill up with plasma. Take the first piece off, wash with antibacterial soap (Saniderm sells foam soap), pat dry, and replace it with another piece. That piece can stay on for 4-6 days. Afterwards, you can use moisturizer, like our all natural Sanibalm, to keep your tattoo hydrated for years to come! Hope this helps 🙌

This video isn’t necessarily saying tattoos are bad (relative term), but explaining how each anatomical layer works and why tattoos stay in place.
As a medical double major myself, this was a simple refresher.
Tattoos are bad!
I find it rather disingenuous that a person that should know the human body better than most is saying tattoos are neither good nor bad. Especially when you know for a fact that the body’s immune system actively tries to get rid of them.
How can anyone look at this and objectively say tattoos are good or not bad, especially when you realize they’re functionally useless? They do nothing except to elicit a certain aesthetic.
Saying that something is functionally useless only bc it serves a certain aesthetic purpose is to say that art is useless and unnecessary to humans. @@dukeonwheels
@@Laura-ob4om That’s reaching. Art is necessary. Tattoos are not. The human body and its design is a work of art in and of itself. Putting tattoos on it is akin to vandalizing a building with spray paint. But it’s even worse because you’re purposely introducing a foreign, inorganic substance into the body that it is not designed to break down. How the body responds to tattoos should be a telling indicator of how they should be treated.

I’ve had a couple tattoos now, and I can personally attest to saniderm. Great product, and water proof, so you can shower with it. Great video, learned a lot about the anatomical side of tattoos.
This is what I am calling perfect teaching & knowledge transfer. Clear, understandable and freaking interesting. Even for a foreigner like me. It's a pleasure and joy to watch. You must have the luckiest students.
I have learnt so much from this. It made me fall in love with science all over again after graduating university for over 5 years now.
I feel exactly likewise, Adaobi. As a PhD graduate in communication sciences in speech therapy since 2019, till date I still feel like a student. I enjoy every bit of it. Very well presented 👍🏾
I’m Nigerian/British, btw 😊
“But it’s anatomy so it’s technically is under the classification of being awesome”
yea
Mantap 👍🏼
@Regular Gamer No I don’t like men but thanks for the offer
Best quote ever
This a very educational video. I've been tattooing for 27 years now and I found it awesome.
he talks about it with so much passion unlike most teachers which just made very interested in anatomy
They should start having people like this male passionate videos about various subjects and show them in schools. Teachers just play the videos and handout quizzes. RUclips taught me more than anything in school
Everyone: learning the science behind tattooing
Me: omg is that skin real???
😆😆me too
it’s from a cadaver or a corpse
@Brooke Buzzies yeah :// med students are rly used to cadavers bc we have to conduct experiments on them but putting a trigger warning would’ve been rly helpful
@Brooke Buzzies I think it would be reasonable to assume that on an anatomy channel, you’re going to see real human body parts. That’s kind of the point. The warning is in the very name of the channel. (Honestly not trying to sound rude. Just logical.)
@Brooke Buzzies Well, sounds like you already know what anatomy channels are appropriate for your sensitivities.
Fascinating! I don’t desire a tattoo, but if you’re going to have one, it’s good to know what your tattoo artist should also know. Knowledge is s good thing!
My anatomy and physiology class in high school years ago was never this interesting. These guys do a great job explaining everything about the human body. Love these videos.
Kinda helps when you have a whole cadaver lab at your disposal.
Press "F" for all the white blood cells that got assigned to hold the tattoo.
F 😂
Yes, and think of how those white blood cells could be helping the body instead if there is ever any sickness/infection in the person's future lifetime.🤔😎✌🏽
@@Aaron-TheHandsome fuck it dude tattoos are rad
@@vis-- I guess you are right, antigens produced for microbes that enter our body are only produced when the microbe actually enters it, but the only line here is that if your immunity system is already weak, the amount of antigens produced could be less and not be able to contain a virus/microbe
so no i don’t think having tattoos would affect the efficiency of other white blood cells when there’s an infection
I had a medium sized upper arm tattoo disappear completely. Years later I had another done in nearly the same place and that one faded away completely as well. On number three now and the only thing I've learned is that tattoos get more expensive the older you get.
I knew a guy who couldn't keep red ink. All other colors held just fine with the expected aging, but not red ink. Maybe you guys have some weirdly strong white blood cells?
"stop...get some help"
Stab wounds stay forever. Ugly 50yrs ago. Ugly now. Guy didn't charge me to do it
You are poising yourself.
That's inflation for you.
Thank you. I did not know this. I will now proceed to live the rest of my life not regretting that I never got a tattoo.
Are we gonna talk about how amazing this channel is in teaching us the correct information, not only that but he is able to use real body parts and human skin for the demonstrations
It's crazy how I learn more in a youtube video than I do in biology and an actual health science class
never thought about tattoo artists having to take into account varying skin thickness before! Very interesting :D
ruclips.net/video/w86rotpPU1Q/видео.html
A party trick in our studio was guessing peoples lifestyles and jobs/careers by the makeup of their skin!
We can tell a lot by someone's skin and the variety in how it is to work with and how it responds is huge and very interesting! I'm a decade in to tattooing and still come across new skin types and clients all the time!
One of the most important reasons to not get a tattoo is that the ink is not regulated, or controlled in any way by any government agency. You just don't know what they're putting under your skin. It could be automotive pigment, paint pigment, or who knows what.
I'd be more worried about the food we eat every day, bud. Much, much worse for you
OMG!!! As an esthetician, SMP specialist and microblader, this is such an AMAZING video and to see how the ink actually gets deposited in the dermis is mind blowing. 😍👏🏽. I’ll start sending this video to my clients to explain how SMP and microblading differ from tattooing. I ❤️ this channel.
I have microblading and no tattoos .
I'll be glad, when tattoos are as temporary as a hair service, like "permanents" etc.
If you want to keep it, get a youchuo, or let it completely fade
It may even bring more money to tattoo artists
The presenters of this amazing channel/programme of education, are amazing.
The jargon is authentic put in a sequence that’s so easy to understand and it’s sprinkled in a way that’s not overwhelming.
Great presentations guys. I really enjoy watching you at work. There’s a real art to presenting without having to compromise the real terms.
Firstly, I think biology teachers should show this video in classes. It's super fascinating and will capture a kids' attention. Secondly this video has answered every question I've wanted to know about tattoos and then some. Thank you! 8mill views is not enough.
Very interesting, especially about skin thickness and blowout. Tatooing requires much more knowledge and finesse than I originally thought.
is it bad that I kinda feel sad for the body trying to protect me so much😭🥺
take good care of it ❤️
You'd probably be sadder if it didn't
@@hooligansauce9652 I would probably be dead faster than sad
@@78_mary31 not necessarily there are plenty of people immune deficiencies, and other health issues. Aids is a thing.
@@hooligansauce9652 I am talking about the whole system . Like the cells repairing itself and replacing everyday to keep us away from decay. Not just immune lol
Now i I wanna see how the cells in “Cells at Work” would react to being inked
That sounds like a great idea!
That anime has a lot of potential... they should do more seasons... a drug addict cells... would be so eductational andmaybe add some story on the persons's body something like "Osmosis Jones" (Bill Murray like-character or so)
OMG YES
@@PippeML so sorta of like code black?
For real
I’ve been in the process of getting tattoos removed. I’d love to hear how removal happens/works 😊
I asked him to explain that as well. I just completed 10 rounds of the PICO Laser removal and mine is 95% gone.
Yup! Mine is about 90% gone now lol
I’ve been procrastinating on what could/should be my last session. The pain sucks even with numbing lol
What does that cost, generally speaking, and does it cost more than getting the actual tattoo? I realize this is a broad question, but any information would be helpful. I assume it's multiple sessions depending on the ink choice too.
@@mkl5448
Cost depends on the size of the tattoo. I’m removing 4 small ones and it’s about $160 a session. I’ve had 5-6 sessions and might need one more (if I choose) So, yes, it’s more expensive than the tattoos I have.
2:00 in order to get your close up to get into focus, you must put an object behind the subject "skin/epidermis".
This makes me wonder if a person with a lot of tattoos has a slightly weaker immune system since the body has to waste energy throwing white blood cells at the ink to contain it, and replacing those cells over time.
Your body is a mechanism meaning your immune system never stops working irregardless of what it is especially something it's commonly used to /seeing
I had the same thought.
Well i have 2 tattoos on arms and since last year when i get my first tattoo and then second fww months later. Surprising my immunity system is way bwtter than it was before. + I losed good amount of weight and since start of last year i wasnt ill not even little , even though i runned in winter , or was out in rain or when wind was strong
@@redeye8386yiu must've live healthy enough before?
@@AstroNero. nah was fat and didnt exercise back then
So a tattooed persons white blood cells will just stay put, holding down that ink for all their life time? That's a full time job with no pay. That's punishment.
eh ya kidneys and liver and constantly dealing with the after effects of a good night, my white blood cells get to look rad for a while. Like cmon, a white blood cell colored black? SO much bragging rights
Hey, I've even got pink ones! (Cherry blossom) Think of it more like a lifelong flash mob. 😂
So *that's* why my body hates me... 🤔😂
@@daddybendover69 Oh yeah im destroying my body using drugs, tats, piercings, you name it. Im so raad yo!
@@HH-ni5hm lol you're not clever
If this guy was my teacher at school, I’d probably be a doctor by now.
