THINKING QUESTION (from previous page):
When you get a tattoo, would you expect the ink to be injected into the epithelial layer of your skin or into the connective tissue layer? Why?
ANSWER:
Tattoo ink would have to be injected into the connective tissue layer (specifically the matrix). If it were injected into the superficial epithelium then it would be lost as the skin cells died and fell off the body.
