No. Tattoos are not inkied into bone, that would be horribly painful and dangerous. Theye are in you skin, not bone. The reason long-dead corpses have been found with tattoos, is because those corpses were mummified, meaning they didn't go through true decomposition and their skin remains, allowing us to see their tattoos.

Does you nose grow when your dead?

The nose bone doesn't go anywhere when you die (I assume you mean after decomposition). The base of the nose is part of your skull and made of bone, but the bottom half, the tip, is made of cartilage. Cartilage will decompose as it is a tissue, not bone.
