The mark will disappear quicker than if it was left to heal naturally. It is also important to use heat safely as it can also lead to burns. Never use heat that is too much for the skin and if it is painful remove the heat source immediately.

Many people have tattoos and never actually understood how tattoos last. Tattoos are permanent. A needle goes into the skin at rate of hundreds of vibrations a minute. The needle goes through the top layer of the skin, which is called the epidermis, and goes deeper into the skin to the dermis. The ink particles are huge for the white cells to remove. The dermis is balanced so the ink will last forever. Fading in the tattoo may occur as you grow older, but to remove a tattoo, you need to have a chemical peel, dermabrasion, or a laser procedure, which will take years to disappear.

First Aid for bleeding begins by calming and reassureing the victim. Next lay the victim down to reduce the chance of fainting by increasing the blood flow to the brain. Elevate the bleeding area when possible. Clean and remove loose dirt away from the wound. If an object such as a knife, stick, or arrow becomes embedded in the body, do not remove it. Doing so may increase the amount of bleeding and cause more damage. Place gauze and bandages around the object and tape the object in place. Put pressure directly on an external wound with a sterile bandage, clean cloth, or even a piece of clothing. Direct pressure is best for external bleeding, except for an eye injury. Maintain pressure until the bleeding stops. Do not peek at the wound to see if the bleeding has stopped. If bleeding continues and soaks through the material being held on the wound, do not remove it. Simply place another cloth over the first one. Be sure to seek medical attention.
