I swear this guy just explained more to me than teachers ever did about the human anatomy

"We are gonna use REAL Human skin " Me:Ah yes my favourite

I remember a cadaver I had the opportunity learn from years ago. They had multiple tattoos on their body. Remember our TA pulling the skin back so we could see the tattoo on dermis. What we didn't expect was seeing evidence of the tattoo ink embedded in the muscle layer. It wasn't all of the tattoo but you could definitely make out the basic shape of the tattoo.

I served in the US Navy from 1964-1968 but never got a single tattoo. As a Hospital Corpsman (Medic) I learned a bit about what injecting ink into you skin can do and avoided them, even when I was a bit drunk.

Would love to see what happens when you get stretch marks.

My mother donated her body to science out of nowhere. I’m watching these to try to come to terms and get more comfortable with it.

I love my skin just the way it is, spotty and wrinkly.

One of the reasons I was to resist the temptation to own a tattoo. Today it is rare to find people without tattoos.

Summary: So a tatoo isn't just some drawing on your skin, all your cells (macrophages/white blood cells) in your skin are actually constantly working to contain the ink on the same spot because the cells can't get rid of it but don't want it to spread either.

me waiting for him to actually tattoo the skin

This video answered so many questions and explained very clearly! Could you do a video on how laser removes the tattoo? That would be interesting!

Your videos are all so informative and interesting. You do an amazing job explaining things in an engaging, easy-to-understand way. I’m not in the medical field; I just like learning new things. Thank you for taking the time to put this content out there.

This guy seems so happy and passionate about educating people! His demeanor makes me want to keep watching

Whenever I see body parts that belonged to an actual person, I always ask myself "how did they die? Why did they choose to donate their body? What was their life like? What kind of person were they?"

That was interesting. I have a small tattoo on my wrist of two paw prints about an inch apart on my right wrist. I got the tattoo about 12 years ago. I've noticed that there is a pale bluish tinge in the skin between and surrounding the paw prints. There is also a decorative filigree pattern that goes around my wrist and the edges of that are blurred too, particularly where the lines are very thin or two lines are close together. The skin is pretty thin there, especially on the inside of the wrist, and now I know that the ink in the tattoo has 'blown out' into the hypodermis. Watching this and learning about how the body is actually responding to the ink is enough to put me off getting any more tattoos. I have 3. That will do!

Why can't Life Science at school be like this though😭so practical and easy to understand

"Don't worry, I can handle criticism. I have pretty thick skin." The skin in question: 14:35

My brother in law is a anthologist, one time while he was working in ER a patient came in with a gun shot wound the surgeon having to repair the wound damage had to cut open the tattoo laden victim and after sewing the patient back up did not get the tattoo realigned because of removed tissue. Needless to say the victim was more upset about the tattoo than being nearly killed from the gun shot.

My tattoos have blown out and I always felt it was bc of the locations where my skin is thinner. Now I know, another great video. Honestly, I can't get enough of this channel atm!!
