If you don't go that deep, the customer's skin will eventually shed the tattoo.

Why would the ink of permanent tattoos be deposited in the dermis and not the epidermis of the skin?
The epidermis sheds constantly, and so a tattoo would quickly disappear if that was where it was placed. That's why temporary tattoos and henna, which only affect the epidermis, are short-term decorations.
What layer of the skin is the pigment injected when permanent tattoos are made?
The pigment is injected into the dermis by way of the tattoo machine.
Why do tattoos stay in skin if skin cells are replenished regularly?
The ink is injected deeper that the layers of skin which are shed.
What layer of skin is the tattoo injected into?
­When you look at a person's tattoo, you're seeing the ink through the epidermis, or the outer layer of skin. The ink is actually in the dermis, which is the second layer of the skin. The cells of the dermis are far more stable than the cells of the epidermis, so the tattoo's ink will stay in place, with minor fading and dispersion, for a person's entire life.
Which part of the skin is injected with dye for tattoos?
The ink must penetrate the 3rd layer of the skin.Well, I heard it like this! There are three layers of skin, the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous,or the Fatty layer. The top two must be penetrated for the tattoo to stay...Whether the third layer is touched doesn't matter unless you flood it with two much ink which will cause staining on the surface of the skin in and around the tattoo. Hope this helps.....
What are tattoos made out of?
Tattoos are made of ink pigments embedded in the skin.
Do black light tattoos hurt worse then regular tattoos?
NO. Tattoos hurt because of the needle guns that puncture the skin to leave ink behind. Black light tattoos do not hurt anymore or less than regular tattoos. Their ink is what glows in black light, and it is very similar to regular ink.
How do tattoo's stay on you?
A tattoo is series of ink-injections into the dermis, which is your middle layer of skin (the outer layer is the epidermis). It stays on because it is injected so deep- but it will fade in time and with exposure to the sun, or with laser tattoo removal.
Why are tattoos permanent if the dyes are injected into the dermis?
Well, they're permanent only to an extent. Over a long enough span of time the pigment is broken down and dispersed into the tissue surrounding the design, thereby fading it. Also, if you were to be cut or scratched deeply on the design, the scar will form and will have little to no pigment along the wound so you will have to get it fixed from there. Also, once the pigment has been injected into the dermis and aftercare is being taken to it and too much aftercare ointment, specifically Vaseline is applied to the site, it will leave your pores open too much and there is a good likelihood that some of the ink will be drawn out during the healing due to this. But to answer your question, it is permanent since the pigment has been injected into the dermis and cannot thereby be extracted. This is why the only alternative to having a tattoo is to get it removed with laser treatment, which is quite painful, fairly expensive, and you have to go multiple times.
Are tattoos harmful?
Tattoos are harmful because you could get ink poisoning from the ink used. You could also develope an allergic reaction to the types of pigments used in certain colors of ink.
How do you die form tattoos?
You can get ink poisioning.
