Most tattoos tell a sentimental story. This episode tells the story of what happens in our body when we get a tattoo. Alex Machado, a tattoo artist who has been in the industry and tattooing for 28 years, describes the anatomy of a tattoo. He explains where the ink goes in the skin, how the body accepts the ink, and how and why a tattoo really is permanent. Alex also details how different it is to tattoo various skins, such as wrinkly or thick skin.
While the audio quality isn't what you are used to hearing from The Anatomy Nerd Podcast, I encourage you to be patient and tune in to this fascinating and fun episode. Alex has a lot to share, and we tried our very best to get clear audio.
