Is it safe to put a sheet of graphene between skin and vital organs. Do the organs need the connection to operate and be safe?

An Organ-
It is a group of specialized cells that that combine together to perform one or more specific functions within the body.
Skin- Skin is the largest organ in the human body. Because our skin constantly renews itself and sheds 50,000 cells every minute. Over a lifetime, that piles up to 18.1kg of skin. Skin is the largest organ. If u go for the longest cell it's the neuron and the largest internal organ is liver.
Functions of skin-It protect most of the body's other vital organs, as well as its bones, muscles, ligaments and nerves, by acting as an envelope to contain them. Skin thus protects those organs from biological, chemical and mechanical attacks by outside forces. When the body experiences blood loss from a cut or other wound, skin's healing properties help to constrain the blood loss.
Skin also helps to regulate the body's temperature through dissipating heat and sweating to bring the body's temperature back to a normal range. It also protects the body against cold and against excessive amounts of water loss.

first question: why are you putting a layer of graphene between organs and skin?

i would say it wouldn't be a problem. The organs do not need the skin to be successful, usually the skin just acts like a friction barrier. So would it be safe ? um not sure. Do organs need the skin? no
