Multiple sessions may be required.

*Stretchmarks need to be light in colour, not darker than the surrounding skin tone. Dark scars can be lightened but will take multiple sessions.

Are any of the scars “raised?” Or are they flat and flush with the skin? If they are raised, look into our Scar Revision service to change the texture first!

Scar & Stretch Camo Frequently Asked Questions

How Do Camouflage Tattoos Work?

These tattoos are commonly used for scarring, pigmentation loss and stretchmarks. Camouflage tattoos involve custom mixing a colour that blends with your natural skin tone to disguise a scar or skin imperfection. We tattoo conservatively, ensuring we see what it looks like healed before proceeding with “layers” to ensure the most natural result possible. As such, multiple appointments are usually required for optimal results and coverage.

Can you perform scar camouflage on any skin type?

There are many factors such as the skin type, skin colouring, contrast between the mark and skintone, age, and texture that determine if someone is a good candidate. Send some pictures via email to determine if you’re a candidate for this procedure and to receive a quote. This required for all clients prior to booking.

Does this treatment remove stretch marks?

Other than a tummy tuck, or the literal removal of skin, there is no proven way to remove stretch marks. The Stretch Mark Camouflage Tattoo only helps to conceal and diminish the appearance of stretch marks so that they are less perceptible to the naked eye. Think of it as having a filter, taking away the white contrast of your scars.

How will I look immediately after? What is the healing process?

There is little to no downtime for this procedure as most often it can be covered with clothing. You can go back to work. The treated area will look red and raised depending on the type of service you get. Aftercare is explained to you to ensure best healed results.

How quickly will I see results from my procedure?

They are many variables, however usually the colour stabilizes after 3 months. If you have a darker skintone, you may experience some hyperpigmentation during the intial stages of healing and it may take a little longer to see your healed result. During your consultation, we can discuss and assess your skin’s estimated timeline and variables.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your specific case and desired result. Usually it will take more than one session, as the initial session is done conservatively to see how it heals and to adjust the colouring if need be for subsequent sessions.

Can I get the treatment while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Our highest priority is the safety of you and your baby therefore we are unable to treat you while pregnant or breastfeeding. We look forward to treating you once you are no longer breastfeeding.

Can I get tattooed if I'm already tanned?

We prefer to match only your natural skin tone, and require that our clients postpone their session until their tan has faded. This ensures that we are able to custom blend an ink color that will look most natural whether you’re tanned or not.

What happens when I tan?

Your camouflaged stretch marks and scars will not change color. If you tan, your skin’s overtone will darken, but your stretch marks will remain the same color as your natural skin-toned ink tattoo. Overall, your stretch marks will still be camouflaged because the “white” is no longer there. In short, there’s less of an obvious contrast.
