| Aug 9, 2015 at 23:52 | comment | added | jzx | @WYSIWYG Metal salt leaching would be interesting, but I think some of those issues might be better answered in a separate question. Some of that information is available in the sources I have added. | |

| Aug 9, 2015 at 14:11 | comment | added | WYSIWYG | It would be great if you could add citations because this does not sound quite intuitive. For instance, when you mention particle size and clearance from dermis has a connection, then add a reference for that. Also, you should add some reference for the particle size distribution of the tattoo ink. Most tattoo pigments are composed of metal salts, there is also a possibility of leaching (I am not sure how it does not happen. There are some reports on diffusion of tattoo pigment though) | |
