Scar Camouflage
Tattoo NYC:
Expert Paramedical Tattooing

Scar Camouflage Tattoo involves a series of steps to effectively blend scar tissue with surrounding skin.

1.Skin preparation (the most important part)

• The skin should be healthy, calm, and well cared for before your appointment.

• Keep the area well moisturized for at least 7–10 days prior

• Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, or self-tanner on the area for 2–4 weeks

• Do not exfoliate, peel, or use active products (retinoids, acids) on the area

• The skin should be free of irritation, open wounds, or inflammation

• Healthy skin responds better, heals better, and holds pigment more predictably.

2.⁠ ⁠Avoid blood-thinning substances

To minimize sensitivity and bleeding during the procedure, please avoid the following 24–48 hours before your appointment, unless prescribed by your physician:

• Alcohol

• Aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen, naproxen)

• Fish oil, omega-3 supplements

• High doses of vitamin E

• If you are on prescribed medication, do not stop it without medical advice. Let us know instead.

3.⁠ ⁠Arrive well rested and nourished

• Eat a balanced meal before your appointment

• Stay well hydrated

• Avoid arriving on an empty stomach

• Being rested and nourished helps regulate blood sugar, improves comfort, and supports the healing response.

4.⁠ ⁠What to wear

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated and avoids friction afterward.

• For areola or chest procedures, button-down or front-opening garments are recommended.

5.⁠ ⁠What to expect emotionally

• Paramedical tattooing can be both a physical and emotional experience, especially after surgery or trauma.

• It is normal to feel:

• Nervous

• Emotional

• Excited and cautious at the same time

• We work at a calm pace, with intention and respect. You are always encouraged to communicate how you’re feeling during the session.

6.⁠ ⁠What NOT to do before your appointment

• Do not arrive sunburned or tanned

• Do not wax, laser, or shave aggressively right before the session

• Do not apply numbing creams unless previously discussed

• Do not schedule your appointment right before travel, intense workouts, or sun exposure

1. Pigment Matching Process: Identification of the closest skin tone for custom pigment creation.

2. Implanting Pigments into the Scar Tissue: Precision technique to infuse pigments into the scar.

3. Tools and Equipment Used: Advanced digital devices for precise pigment placement.

Individuals with flat, white scars seeking a way to blend them with surrounding skin may benefit from Scar Camouflage Tattoo. Eligible candidates should have fully healed scars with no active irritation present.

The duration of a Scar Camouflage Tattoo session varies depending on the size and complexity of the scars. On average, each session can last from one to three hours.

While Scar Camouflage Tattoo offers long-lasting results, it may fade over time due to factors such as sun exposure and skin regeneration. Touch-up sessions may be necessary to maintain the desired appearance.
