Ink for tattoos is not like other types of inks. Ink prepared for drawing colorful tattoo designs is actually a suspension of pigment in a carrier solution. Carrier solution's function is to mix the pigment evenly. It also helps in smooth application of the tattoo ink.
Inks for tattoos are inserted inside the skin by puncturing holes. The pigment particles are sufficiently large in size so that they are not broken down by the body's defense mechanism. Since the tattoo ink stays in the second layer of the skin, tattoos stay intact for a lifetime.
