If you look at this picture here you can see that the tattoo ink goes into the dermal layer and the blood veins are in the subcutaneous layer.

This also explains why tattoos don’t come off when we shed our skin – only the skin in the epidermal layer regenerates.

Like Jenny said, it is all to do with how deep the ink is injected into the skin.
Here is a crazy video of the most tattooed man on the planet and what he would look like without his tattoos.

Tattoos have been around for thousands of years. Some of the ancient bog bodies preserved in the UK and Denmark preserve not only the skin but also tattoos. The tissue that makes-up our skin is very tough, so when ink is placed within the skin, it can be permanent.
