Watching that removal in action is amazing. Also understanding the biology of tattoo removal is pretty awesome.

@@NyanNyanNyanNyanNyanNyanNyanN what 😂
As popular as tattoos have gotten with young people, I imagine removal is going to be a huge industry in 20 years.
I'm one of these "young people" you reference. My tattoo is a memorial tattoo for my sister who passed away. No laser removal in my future.
@@larissaalcorn3406 and that means tattoos haven't gotten more popular and that a lot of people won't regret getting them one day? Tattoo removal is a bigger business than it use to be and it will get bigger. Your tattoo doesn't change that fact.
My thoughts exactly. It's a very good investment for the future.
Depends if its a "I'm 18, tattoo time with some weird object, yet I can't afford $800 tattoo thats large and amazing so I'll get the large and somewhat good tattoo that just looks weird and makes people wonder who in the world thought a kangaroo looked amazing." or "I'm drunk AF, I'm getting a tattoo" kind of person. If a young person made it a impulsive decision, you'd probably see them in the surgeon's shop. Yet, if it was someone who actually thought about and put it to something like in @Larissa Alcorn kind of situation, they wouldn't decide to do something such as removing a tattoo that has purpose and means something to them.
That better mean the price goes way way down.
No wonder hard rock fans have tattoos.
They want heavy metal in their skin.

Kishore Shenoy This made my day XD
Wake me up inside
that's not heavy metal. that's more pop metal or something like that

What is a required magnification of the microscope to see them?
He's probably using a 1000x magnification. Most microscopes magnify 10x from the opticals, and I think he's using the 100x lens, do it ads up to 1000x. A lot of people will mistake 100x for the 1000x because they only read what's in the lens. Most microscopes have the 10, 40 and 100 lens to choose from, and since blood films don't have the tissue architecture compound to analyse, you magnify to the most you can to actually look at the cell level. But if you can get your hands on a 400x it's still perfectly good !
Yeah they're cute😂 Watch Cells at Work

Sometimes things are more interesting when you understand them on a deeper level. Laser Tattoo Removal for instance is basically deciding that you no longer want your tattoo so you want to help your body poop it out using incredibly complicated optomechanical phenomena. Wow... there's a sentence I never thought I'd type. I hope you enjoy the video.
thank you very much for taking time to teach us these things in such an interesting and capturing manner ^^ I appreciate it!
This is one of your best videos so far, Destin =D Keep it up.
I was also wondering why the laser tool had a scoop shape at the end. i would have expected something a lot more.... cylindrical? not entirely sure. Just curious.
maybe a combination of protection for the one handling the tool + distance from object-help?
One of my favorite yt channels.
So just as a clarification - Getting a tattoo is basically intentionally giving yourself an infection that your body's immune system will always be fighting...FOREVER?
Wouldn't that reduces the overall effectiveness of a person's immune system? Are people with large tattoos more susceptible to infectious diseases?
In one way the immune system is "trained" which keeps it alert, just like training your body helps the immun system. Could be very wrong, though
fozzibab I think there are a lot of things that make you susceptible to disease but considering that your body is already working 24/7 I wouldn't bet on it taking to much of the bodies time up. I think things like vaccines excite your immune system more than surface layer ink. There are also not a lot of large veins around the skin which I take as meaning that even if the body wanted to it couldn't send a lot of white blood cells at a time. As for sending lead through you immune system it may be an increase but I don't feel that it would be that detrimental to your health(long term effects are always possible) unless you are going through tattoo removal in which case a lot of harmful chemicals are being taken through your immune system.
fozzibab Maybe, maybe you are just making your immune system a little bit more alert with every tattoo by pumping up more white cells, so more tattoos = a tiny bit more efficient immune system ? Anyways I love my tats :)
MetallF Yeah, but if all those white blood cells are focusing on your tattoo, I dunno how effective they'll be when an actual threat comes by. It would be interesting seeing a study about this somewhere, comparing the immune systems of people with tats/without tats.
Sean Fronteras the difference is likely negligible to nonexistent, as someone earlier said the area of skin that gets the tattoo doesn't receive a lot of blood flow, and additionally the number of white blood cells that could possibly be concerned with fighting the tattoo is miniscule in comparison to the number in the human body. Remember, there are white blood cells all throughout your body, from the innermost parts of your torso to your fingertips. Most of the blood in a body isn't near the skin. Also, judging by the fact that a tattoo stops swelling and being irritated within days of application, I think it's somewhat safe to assume that the body simply acclimates to it, or at the very least stops attacking it vigorously.
4 days after I get a tattoo, TH-cam recommends this video.
Are they tracking me ?
Actually, yeah. Google as a whole does that, along with Facebook, and many other social media sites

Best advice I've ever heard about getting a tattoo:
1. Decide on a design and a place on your body to get a tattoo.
2. Wait a year.
3. Decide whether or not you think it's still a good idea.
4. If yes, get the tattoo. If no, don't get the tattoo.
I have one tattoo on my leg, and I've had it for five and a half years. Never regretted getting it. I still love it today.
when I was 11 I asked my mom if I could get a tattoo, (my dad had a really nice small tribal tattoo) she said I had to think about it for a year before she approved. I'm 16 now and I still want one. its really small so she just told me a few days ago that I can get it for my 17th birthday. 😊 So happy!
Pretty sure you have to be 18 to get a tattoo.
+Spencer O'Dowd
Actually in the state of Hawaii, with parental consent and presence you can get a tattoo starting at the age of 16. I only know because my cousin got one. At least, I think it was my cousin.
Oh okay. In New England you can't do that.
Spencer O'Dowd Dang, that sucks.
This is the correct way to get people into laser clinics in my opinion. Explaining how it works is a big factor for many people considering cosmetic surgeries.
Disclaimer: Don't bite elephants
U have to blow them up first
Chris no elephants were harmed in this video 🐘
You'd probably hurt yourself more than the elephant if you tried to bite one
Now you tell me, it's a little late now
If all the laser does is shatter the pigment particles, then this would predict that there would be little visible effect at first and that the tattoo would fade over the weeks following the laser treatment, but what we saw was an instant fading of the tattoo.
The laser breaks the ink into very small particles. Since they’re are small and so spread out we cant see defined lines. The ink is now extremely spread so much you cant see it(or assmall darkened areas).Over time the liver filters out the small bits removing it from the body. The longer you live the less you’ll see.
Hey Lindy, did not expect to see you in the comments here.
The visable effect you see as a reaction to the laser treatment is damage to the skin, not the tattoo fading. The lazer 'shatters' the ink particles by rapidly heating them to very high temperatures.
I haven't had and removal done, but my tattoo artist also does removals. His machine has a air hose fitted to keep the skin as cool as possible during the procedure.
Also unlike getting the tattoo, removal takes many visits over a long period of time, some results may be seen on the first treatment, but depending on the pigments and their depth many rounds of removal may be needed!
@Lindybeige Love your videos man, wasn't expecting to see you here either. Cheers!
Lindybeige Lindybeige Yeah it seems there’s more to explain here.
Second video @SmartEveryDay ?
fuckoffjesus are u sayin the particles r broken into junks and don’t reflect their color anymore? Particles still there and get filtered but not visible?
"Trying to take a bite out of an elephant"
This guy really knows how to give an example that'll stick.
This was awesome! I have a half sleeve and calf piece and I totally agree with Destin. Wait till your mature because your ideas will change. I'm only 23 and I would definitely change some of my tattoos. I don't hate any of them, I would have just done them differently. Take your time, Love your idea, Know what your doing!
P.s. A word to those who are strongly against tattoos: Everyone is born with choices, no need to despise someone because they chose to put artwork on "their" body. Tattoos have been around for hundreds and hundreds of years. The only difference between someone with tattoos and someone without? A tattooed individual doesn't care what your skin looks like.
Don't hate me for the color(s) of my skin:)
yeah it's a bit more complicated than that. people do care if you wear a tatoo, specially in more formal enviroments. you're not gonna be taken seriously. you're basically handicapping yourself in exchange for some ugly (let's face it, the vast majority of tattos aren't pretty) doodling on your skin. i'm not strongly against it (as long as you don't cover yourself on them), but i would NEVER make one.
***** I'm sorry you feel that way. Us with tattoos aren't taken seriously because of people with views like yours. The ink on my body doesn't slow my work ethic or get in my way. My tattoos are memorials to me, I could care less if you think they're ugly...
***** That mentality is not only culturally specific but dying out.
RustyWolfFX To those of us a bit older, tattoos were rarely seen on regular people. Sailors and soldiers got them, and people who had been in jail. Now they are 'fashionable', which isn't really a valid reason to get such a long lasting thing done. Like it or not, people are suspicious of tattoos, from the jail tat, to self absorbed millennials who think they live in a consequence free environment. You don't, you knew society has an opinion about tattoos, and chose to get one. Society isn't going to change to make your life easier.
engineeredlifeform No, but society will change because they're becoming increasingly normal, and as they become increasingly normal people with tattoos and people who are comfortable with them are attaining higher and higher positions of power within the professional world.
The anti-tattoo mentality is dying, and has been for decades now. It's not our fault you're irrational, and stuck in your ways.
Interesting. How ever, since the metals goes through your liver, does that mean it will put some amount of extra strain on it?
Would this be a potentially risky process for someone with an already weak liver?
I was hoping to see an answer to this question
I was wondering the same
me too.. still waiting the answer..
I don’t know if this is the right answer because I admit that I know practically nothing on this topic, but I’ll put in my two cents. If you think about it, this is a very minimal amount of metal and as such, should have a very minimal strain on one’s liver. I would assume that this doesn’t have much risk as it’s such a minuscule amount of heavy metals.
I notice your comment it's interesting as many people use it for style what I'd they used natural colors may the risk will be less.
I love the enthusiasm Dustin brings to every video. always a great watch, please keep them coming

Awesome. I always wondered how this was supposed to be done. It's amazing. Great video, mate!!
Got a question! Which colours are the easiest to remove then?
It depends on the wavelength of the laser and how they react with the chromophores.
SmarterEveryDay you're just showing off with the big words, lol ;)
Cecilia T. Clausen Black and grey.
Cecilia T. Clausen Black and Grey are the easiest ink colors to remove. Usually, a Yag(1064nm) laser works well for these. Green is the most difficult followed by light blue (Yag and Alexandrite lasers 1064nm and 755nm).Red/brown/yellow/orange respond well using 532nm laser.
***** I looked at this and I can't find this Jason Carter Tattooist any where, he supposed to be the tattooist that wrote this book. As for the product, some of the adverts for it are written in
very broken English, even the book 'get rid of tattoo' sounds like
broken English. This leads me to believe this is some kind of scam. I
tried to find photos or videos of people that had before/after shots.
There are videos with compilations of photos but I know for a fact that
some of the people in said video have had their tattoos removed by
laser. This further leads me to believe this is a scam. I also checked
loads of videos that were connected with tattoo removal and there are
numerous people suggesting this site, go and see for your self. Another interesting fact is everyone promoting this books site, even Stanley Hagen, only opened a TH-cam account yesterday. This book has 'SCAM' written all over it.

Just for your info, it wasn't actually removed. The discoloring was just the "shockwave" that was happening. It will go back to black after a few minutes and slowly the pigment will fade over an extended amount of time.
Fascinating and incredibly well done!!
I was reading a chapter "Lasers in plastic surgery" from my text book Grabb & Smith as i am a future plastic surgeon. I was wondering how it actually works to remove tattoo pigments by laser and your video popped up. The book explained the removal process the same as you and that senior plastic surgeon described (sorry forgot his name). Thank you so much and well done

How'd everything turn out?
@@mitlanderson I told him but he dismissed it. He's currently having lung problems to where he was hospitalized for 2 weeks (not covid). But I still find it interesting that there could be a connection. Heavy metal poisoning is no joke!
Wow.. I am afraid you are right..
This video was very informative. I love it!
You did an awesome job explaining everything!!
Now i certainly now i will not get a tattoo ever
Im with you man. Heavy metals... kinda doesnt look healthy for liver.
modisp So I'm not sure about this, but it is most likely safe. Those heavy elements are bound to other elements to form molecules. As long as that bond is strong enough so your body can't split it up, you should be able to excrete that molecule as a whole. Heavy metals are dangerous because our body has a hard time getting it out of the bloodstream and other places. The extra elements in the molecule can act like "handlebars" so it can easily get disposed of. That's also how the drugs that are supposed to get heavy metals out of your system work.
But still. No thanks to tats...
modisp hevay metals ain't good, but in the ink it's a very little amount of heavy metals which isnt "lethal"
You ingest and excrete heavy metals all the time, keep in mind.
If you eat fish you are ingesting mercury. If you eat beef you ingest copper. If you eat most meats you are eating some kind of heavy metal. Same for some plants depending on how they are grown and where they are grown. Despite common belief we do need some heavy metals in our body and our body has ways to use it when consumed through the mouth. Now as someone with tattoos myself. I haven't had any infection or any health problem from a tattoo. I have a half back tattoo. Now keep in mind. You don't want to go in and find out you are allergic to zinc as you have gone most of your life without ever touching the stuff.
Generally that is the worst that tattoos have done to people... allergic reactions.
I feel like if I know you at a microscopic level now. Good video as always.
I love how he’s always smiling
Question: if the ink is heavy metals, is there a possibility of poisoning yourself by covering yourself with tattoos or is the real danger lies in the removal process? Or is there not enough ink to even worry about it?
Additionally... does laser removal bombard your body (liver) with a sudden dose of heavy metals? In other words, are you safer/better off not doing large removal sessions at once?
BLUEROCK Interesting concept to think about. The heavy metals might be removed from your skin, but at the same time, would be brought to the liver, which might get overwhelmed. I think that these sessions happen in different periods of time, as in you would get some of it removed, wait a while, then get more of it removed, as to not only not damage the tissue, but also your liver as well.
No, you're not going to poison yourself by getting a lot of tats simply because that ink, as explained stays beneath your skin and your body removes it so incredibly slowly (the fading) that you're not going to get any kind of ill-effects from it. As for the risk of removing the tattoos, there is some but that is mitigated by the fact that they do tattoo removal in multiple sessions instead of all at once. It gives the body time to process and recover.
3:50 that's basically agario

ME: WATCHING 10/15 VIDEOS A DAY
Thank you for this video it's been really helpful and informative!!
It’s 12:16 am on a school night, I haven’t slept in days, and I still don’t regret watching this video.
Man, your videos are so cool and well constructed. I really feel like I'm getting smarter. The only problem is that it's not everyday ;p
why am i watching this only now. it's so well done and i loved learning more about this topic
Very informative, just found your channel. Looking forward to more vlogs from you!
Wow. This is fantastic. Definitely in my top 5 favorite episodes that you've done.
Koz4Christ - MC Server Tutorials You are everywhere O.o
***** Like a ninja :-P
Since your white blood cells are trying to take away the ink constantly. Does this mean that getting a tattoo weakens your immune system?
No.
Craig Duffy It could be argued that a tattoo might strengthen you immune system. An immune system that isnt used would weaken over time. Just like how being a germophobe and disingecting everything can actually cause you to become more sensitive to germs. If your body's systems dont get used, your body reduces those systems and uses them less.
Zeke Aeloen Your body produces antibodies for germs. That's why you strengthen your immune system through vaccination. That's not what happens with tattoo inks. Here you're only stressing it for no reason.
That's a very good question actually! I'd hope Destin could see this and help us out with it more. Anyone else want to know this?
ErebosGR It's hardly stressing it, and even if it was, it wouldn't be bad for you.
Millions and millions of people have tattoos all over the world and I have never heard anything about it weakening their immune-system.
thanks again destin for helping make me smarter every day!
Thank you so much I am about to get a removal and you just made it so easy for me I was so scared
That audiobook is now a Film XD
The 3D image of the tattoo needle puncturing skin, made my soul hurt.
That’s so interesting. I knew almost all of it already but it’s just amazing.
A few years ago I listened to The Martian while parked along side the Moree Solar Farm in Australia. The area is rough redish gravel. It feels like there's no one else for miles. A storm came in and the wind over the panels made an eerie howling sound. It was the certainly the most immersive reading experience I've ever had. I highly recommend it
QUESTION: What does the liver look like on someone who has just had a large tattoo removed?
Woah... now I want a microscope
dtorr_1 I've got one and it's cool af!
Get one, its a great investment and lots of fun!
As a matter of fact, we now do have paper microscopes available and they are so cheap. Just Google foldscope.
Thank you, this was very cool! I love your videos!
Superb video very well researched and I’m glad I never got a tattoo when I was a youngster back in the day 😁
