On the website it said that vampires heal noticeably faster than humans, so my question is do tattoos go away faster on a vampire? throughout the years tattoos fade on a person because the ink breaks down as the body is trying to heal it because it is a foreign substance in the body. So do tattoos fade faster?

Tattoos fade because as the body continuously produces new skin, the older layers of skin slowly lift the ink to the outer layer and that skin flakes off as dead skin. A well done tattoo actually puts the ink on the inner most layer of skin, a badly done tattoo puts it on the muscle and tissue which is why those last longer. Quicker healing won't affect that as much as us being more durable would more likely make it last longer, if any thing.

the human immune system cannot break down the artificial pigment from the ink, this is why - for tattoo removal - laser light at certain frequencies (depending on the color of the tattoo) is used to disperse the dye particles to a size the immune system actually can transport, a result of the inflammatory reaction due to exposure to said laser light.

It has nothing to do with the immune system, they fade because of exactly what I said. The immune system doesn't even try to fight it, because the immune system doesn't see it as a threat. Tattoos do fade, it has nothing to do with the immune system, the human immune system can break down a lot of things but it doesn't break down the pigment because it doesn't see it as a threat. Read what I said you moron, I made it as simple as possible to understand.
