Camouflage tattooing is a specialized technique designed to blend scars, stretch marks, and skin discolorations with the surrounding skin, creating a smoother, more even appearance. Using skin-toned pigments, this treatment effectively disguises imperfections, restoring confidence in your skin’s appearance.
As a certified artist trained in NUE Conceal, I specialize in advanced camouflage tattooing techniques, tailoring each treatment to suit your unique skin tone and needs. To ensure the perfect match, I use a state-of-the-art skin tone reader, a unique tool that helps me customize and blend pigments to your exact skin tone, creating the most natural and seamless results possible.
Think of it as a more effective, semi-permanent version of concealer, giving you a flawless finish that lasts! After the healing process, scars and stretch marks are significantly less noticeable, empowering you to confidently wear whatever you love—shorts, skirts, dresses, swimsuits, and more.

To ensure the best results and proper pigment retention, it is crucial to follow these pre-care guidelines:
4 Weeks Before Your Appointment:
• No laser treatments, microneedling, or chemical peels on the treated area.
• Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds—skin must not be sunburned or irritated.
• If you have a history of keloids or hypertrophic scars, consult with a professional before booking.
2 Weeks Before Your Appointment:
• Discontinue the use of retinol, glycolic acid, or any exfoliating skincare products on the area.
• No self-tanning lotions or sprays—this can interfere with color matching.
1 Week Before Your Appointment:
• Stay well-hydrated and keep the area moisturized daily for better pigment absorption.
• Avoid any new skin treatments or facials in the area to be treated.
24-48 Hours Before Your Appointment:
• No alcohol, caffeine, or blood-thinning medications (unless prescribed by a doctor) to reduce the risk of excessive bleeding and pigment loss.
• No vigorous exercise before the appointment to avoid increased blood flow to the area.
• If the area is shaved, do so at least 24 hours before to prevent irritation.
By following these pre-care steps, you ensure that your skin is in optimal condition for the procedure, allowing for better pigment retention, faster healing, and the best possible results.
1. Consultation: We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your skin concerns and goals. We assess the area to be treated and select the appropriate pigment shades.
2. Color Matching: We have revolutionary skin tone device that reads a person’s skin tone.
3. Safety: Your safety is our top priority. We disinfect the area with alcohol before starting and use only disposable needles and instruments, ensuring a clean and sterile procedure.
4. Numbing: Numbing cream is not applied, as the procedure is generally not painful.
5. Application: Using precise tattooing techniques, we apply the pigment to the target area, carefully blending it with the surrounding skin.
6. Aftercare: We provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote optimal healing and long-lasting results.
7. Touch-Up: Since everyone heals differently, a touch-up session may be required. The deeper and darker your stretch marks or imperfections, the more sessions may be necessary. The healing process can vary, typically taking anywhere from 1 week to 3 months.

My Dearest Client,
Thank you so much for entrusting your skin with me. Now that we have completed your first session, what happens next entirely depends on your aftercare.
To prevent any infection, please take your time to read and follow this aftercare.
DURING THE FIRST 48 HOURS:
- Wash the area at least twice a day with antiseptic soap.
- Dry the area with toilet paper or a fresh, clean towel.
- Apply ointment (Aquaphor) 2x per day for 8 weeks (or until your next treatment).
- Protect the treated area by always wearing clean, loose shirt/jogging pants.
ON THE SECOND DAY AND FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS:
- Every 4 to 6 hours, apply the aftercare ointment to the treated area, stimulating the healing of camouflage scars. Ensure that your hands are clean and sanitized before applying to the ointment to prevent infection.
DURING THE FIRST 7 DAYS, PLEASE AVOID:
- Scratching
- Removing scabs
- Taking immersion baths (swimming pool, beach, bathtub)
- Going to saunas
- Allowing excessive sweating (workout)
- Exposing the area to excessive heat and suffocation (tight clothes)
THINGS TO AVOID:
- No saltwater, no exfoliation, no laser hair removal or waxing on areas for 14 days
- 1st 30 days, do not use sunscreen, sunblock, or any substance that contains vitamin D
- Sunbathing is strictly forbidden for the next 30 days.
- Do not shower with hot water as it may cause irritation for the first few days.
- Do not take vitamin D pills
- If there is any allergic reaction, please call your physician
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING HEALING
- The treated area may appear red and swollen immediately after the treatment.
- After 24 hours, the swelling will subside, but the redness may persist for up to 72 hours.
- Following 72 hours, the redness will gradually transition to a brownish tone (hyperpigmentation).
- Hyperpigmentation might persist for a period ranging from one to three months.
- If the treatment was performed on the legs, the healing process may extend up to six months, especially for individuals with darker complexions.
- Please refrain from being alarmed if the hyperpigmentation takes some time to fade; this is a normal part of the skin's healing process. To expedite healing, it's advisable to avoid foods and beverages high in sugar, as elevated sugar levels can prolong the healing process. Instead, focus on consuming vegetables, as many of them possess healing properties (consult your doctor if you have any underlying medical conditions).
- Smoking can also impede the healing process.
