Stretch Mark/Scar Camouflage
The Stretch Mark Camouflage Tattoo conceals and reduces the visibility of stretch marks, acting like a permanent filter that diminishes the white contrast of scars.
What is Stretch Mark/Scar Camouflage?
The Stretch Mark Camouflage Tattoo is a transformative procedure that offers a solution to those seeking to minimize the appearance of stretch marks. This innovative technique effectively conceals and diminishes the visibility of stretch marks, making them less perceptible to the naked eye.
By skillfully blending pigments to match your skin tone, the tattoo artist creates a natural and seamless camouflage effect that harmoniously blends with the surrounding skin.
Think of it as having a permanent filter that takes away the stark white contrast of your scars, leaving behind a smoother and more even skin surface. Whether you want to address stretch marks from pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or other factors, this tattoo procedure offers a discreet and effective way to enhance your skin's appearance and boost your confidence.
How It Works
The stretch mark camouflage tattoo is a specialized procedure that involves working with unique and individualized factors. While we strive for exceptional results, it's important to acknowledge that this process is not an exact science.
We are dealing with compromised skin that has transformed into scars, and each client's stretch marks present a distinctive canvas for the tattooing process. As a result, the outcomes and healing time may vary from one client to another. Our goal is to provide the best possible results, understanding that every stretch mark is distinct and requires personalized attention to achieve the desired outcome.
How quickly will i see results?
Individual skin characteristics and various factors play a significant role in the healing process after the stretch mark camouflage tattoo procedure. Variables like age, diet, hormones, overall health, sun exposure, and more contribute to unique healing times, making it challenging to provide an exact number of days. On average, healing typically takes around 45-60 days.
However, for those prone to hyper-pigmentation, which results in darker scarring, the healing process may extend beyond the average timeframe. During your consultation, we can thoroughly assess your skin's condition, discuss the potential variables, and provide an estimated timeline tailored to your specific needs.

How long will the results of the procedure last?
The Stretch Mark Camouflage Tattoo is a penetrative skin treatment that’s only been around for 6-7 years. According to our industry, it will last 5 years, or more provided that the correct after-care procedures are adhered to.
You may or may not need a touch up after 5-6 years. Remember, a stretch mark is a scar and so the skin is trickier to penetrate. In addition, as we age, all tattoos transition and change on our skin because there’s less elasticity and melanin production. This can affect your stretch mark camouflage tattoo, as well.
Is the treatment suitable for all skin types?
In most cases, yes, the stretch mark camouflage tattoo is a suitable treatment. However, there are a few exceptions. For optimal results, your stretch marks and scars should be at least two years old, lighter than your skin tone, and fully healed. To assess your candidacy for this procedure, we recommend booking a virtual consultation, which is mandatory for all clients. During the consultation, we can determine if this treatment is the right fit for you and address any concerns you may have. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.
Will it hurt? Do you numb your clients?
The Stretch Mark Camouflage Tattoo is a penetrative skin procedure so a small amount of discomfort will be experienced. Usually on a scale 1-10 (10 being most painful), the average consensus is a 6 or 7.
At our facility, we avoid numbing our clients to ensure the purity and precise insertion of pigment into the scar. Please note that pain sensitivity may be heightened during your monthly cycle, so we recommend scheduling your session or touch-ups accordingly. Your comfort and the quality of our procedure are our main priorities.

There’s little to no downtime. Most clients can resume work the same day, or even fly home after their session. It’s normal to experience redness and swelling immediately after the procedure for 1-3 days.
For the first 3 days, you’ll be given strict instructions on how to minimize inflammation, speed up the wound-healing phase, and how to “ice” the area and keep it clean.
Over the next few weeks, the redness will dissipate and go through a variety of shades (from dark to light) until your skin heals. We’ll be in contact with you every step of the way.

While Laser Treatments do work on stretch marks by damaging the skin’s outer layer and forcing it to heal itself, they do not put color back into the skin. So almost all clients who get Laser Treatments for their stretch marks still have noticeable stretch marks. In fact, many of our clients have had many
Laser Treatment procedures prior to walking into our studio. Another huge difference is the cost of that treatments. Laser Treatments could run $1,000 to $3,000 per session, and can easily end up costing the client over $10,000 overall.
