if our body replaces all cells every 7 years, then why tattoo stay?
the simplest version of that answer is- yes, you're right!
Tumblr media
the cells containing the tattoo ink DO periodically die and get replaced by new cells, but the reason this doesn't destroy your precious skin art is this- those cells are actually carefully passing the ink particles along to their successors when they kick it, so each new generation of cells picks up the same exact ink particles from their elders in a cycle of inheritance that only ends when you die!
Tumblr media
and the long version is, as soon as the tattoo gun fills your arm with ink, your immune system is on top of it; it sends a battalion of white blood cells called macrophages to the area, and they all gobble down the ink in an attempt to break it down and protect you! but. the ink particles are very large, and cannot be broken down by the macrophages, so once an ink particle is engulfed the macrophage that grabbed it is literally just stuck wherever it currently is in your skin and can't go anywhere or do anything else.
this is fine, the cell still gets nutrients and will live a normal macrophage lifespan, it just can't wander off and ruin your ink. but eventually, your trapped ink macrophages WILL die, and when they do they just kind of vomit their captured ink everywhere! whiiiich triggers your body's Intruder Alert defenses and sends a new set of macrophages to the area, who immediately just hork down the SAME DAMN INK PARTICLES and get stuck again. and on and on it goes, ad infinitum!

Sometimes when I sleep I crave pickles so what I do is I go to my pantry and drink all the viniger and then tickle my pickle to make up for my sad lonely life because I am so tired and I can't eat when I'm tired so I have to use other ingredients instead..

Yeah I loved this
Remember that time when Cas was about to finger dean on the side of the road but then dean smacked his hand and told him to quit it? I think about that scene every day
is there ANY other way you could have phrased this
