First of all, it's a machine, not a gun and really the needles are like little pins - they only go to the dermal layer of the skin which is the second layer and deposit pigment along the way that is around the pins. It is designed to stay there - not be absorbed by the body.
With a shot (injection) it generally goes into the muscle which is incredibly deeper and uses an open bore needle for the purpose of sending a medication into the muscle to be easily absorbed into the body. (Of course there are intravenous needles, etc. but you did say "shot.")

I believe a shot does because it has to inject something beneath the skin where as a tattoo gun just wants to penetrate a few layers of skin.

A shot penetrates all the layers of skin going into muscle, fat, or vein depending on the medication given. A tattoo gun only penetrates the skin.

a shot. A shot goes either into the muscle or into the blood. a tattoo gun just goes underneath the skin.

A shot because that goes into your blood stream. A tattoo gun doesn't even penetrate the deepest layer of skin tissue.

A shot goes into the vein. A tattoo gun penetrates just a few layers of skin. Shot goes further.

The tatoo gun only penetrates the first lay of the skin, or the epidermal leaving the pigment imbedded below. A shot penetrates through all layers of the skin, deep enough to reach the blood stream.

A shot. Hands down. If a tattoo needle is going that deep... you're in serious trouble.

a shot as in an injection (steroids, immunizations etc)?
The shot has to go completely into the bloodstream to get it inside your body.
The tattoo SHOULD only go to the second layer of your skin. if it goes deeper you get blowout as it spreads within the fatty layer of your skin.

a shot goes into your blood vessels..I would hate for tattoo ink to go in their too!
