A known fact about permanent tattoos is that tattoos fade naturally with age, as people age. This would mean natural tattoo removal occurs to permanent tattoos, but for some reason it does not. And the reason tattoo removal does do not happen naturally in our lifetime has to do with the depth of tattoo ink.
Another truth, many tattoo removal methods speed up the natural process of skin cell renewal (the continual cycle where older skin cells shed off, and are replaced with newer skin cells that too will then shed off and be replaced) to breakdown tattoo ink into small particles that are carried away during the cell renewal cycle.
The skin is made of two main sections called the epidermis and the dermis. Think of the letter D for dermis as down or deepest and the letter P in epidermis as being up or upper section.
The skin's upper epidermis is a much thinner section of skin in comparison to the deeper dermis section. The epidermis is the section of the skin where the skin cell renewal and removal cycle occurs.
Tattoo ink of professional tattoo artists is intentionally tattooed between the epidermis and dermis, surrounded by the skin's tough cellular matrix where skin cells renewal occurs at a much slower rate. The tough cellular matrix that surrounds tattoo ink molecules is resilient against breakdown explaining why tattoos remain in place within the skin for a lifetime.
Amateur tattoos on the other hand, do not use the same professional techniques to force ink pigment deep into the skin, creating tattoos with ink pigments that partially exist in the upper epidermis section of skin, and is more likely to breakdown as a result of cell renewal.
This is the reason remain permanent in the skin during a natural lifetime tattoos are permanent, and removing unwanted tattoos requires using a method of tattoo removal.
