In this study, we have shown how particles in carbon black tattoo ink accumulate in the human skin dermis using fine-resolution atomic force microscopy, with which a single ink particle in the collagenous network can be imaged. This information further demonstrates that tattoo inks are nano-particles. Further, we have deposited a commercially available tattoo ink on a glass slide and calculated a range of volumes for single ink particles.
在本研究中，我们利用高分辨率原子力显微镜展示了炭黑纹身墨水中的颗粒如何在人体皮肤真皮层中积累，通过该显微镜可以对胶原网络中的单个墨水颗粒进行成像。这一信息进一步证明纹身墨水是纳米颗粒。此外，我们将一种市售纹身墨水沉积在载玻片上，并计算了单个墨水颗粒的一系列体积。
