Once tattoo ink enters the body, it does not stay put. Beneath the skin, tattoo pigments interact with the immune system in ways scientists are only just beginning to understand.
Tattoos are generally considered safe, but growing scientific evidence suggests tattoo inks are not biologically inert. The key question is no longer whether tattoos introduce foreign substances into the body, but how toxic those substances might be and what that means for long-term health.
I have several tattoos in various areas. Some for the early 90s some from 2016. The newer ones occasionally have a burning sensation. Not often, maybe 2 or 3 times a year, just randomly. Makes me wonder if my immune system is attacking it once in a while
Every now and then the line work on mine feels raised very slightly, like whispering in braile.
This is the best poetry of 2026
Voldemort?
I get that same thing on one of my tats, I think I got it around the same time as well, it’s so weird.
