@nire wouldn't it just be like a bruise and be absorbed by the body (as a bruise is basically mild internal bleeding)

@geekylou yes, but it's higher than a bruise so white bloodcells would break it down slower, and I've a feeling clotting would make it textured

@nire i would think it would be absorbed fairly immediately? i thought the staying power of tattoos was due to some extent to how our immune system responds to the foreign particles

@shoofle right, but its also much more shallow than a bruise

@shoofle also the body is notoriously bad at breaking down thrombosed stuff :P
