Show Tattoo Marks Irremovnhle. It is now claimed that tattoo marks cannot be removed from the skin, and in support of the assertion it is stated that a student at a Baltimore hospital recent- j ly cut from a dead man's arm a strip of : Sildn upon which a coat of arms ap- J peared. Beneath the skin tho design re- J mained visible. By degrees the flesh was removed, the design in India ink still re- . maining in sight until finally the lx.ne ' was reached. After a thorough spong- i ing, for the purpose of removing tho blood and pieces of flesh remaining, it : was found that tho representation still ', appeared. After cutting away a small ! section of the bouo the India ink mark ! was found to have not penetrated beyond. |
