When a person gets tattooed, the tattoo ink is dispersed about a millimetre under the skin and remains in a layer called the dermis. The dermis is under the epidermis, the visible layer of the skin. When a cover up tattoo is inked over an existing tattoo, the existing tattoo is not actually replaced rather its pigment is mixed with the pigment of the new tattoo.
