Scar Camouflage

Medical conditions and medication determine your suitability for cosmetic tattooing. Other factors that determine your suitability are whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding etc. Although, we will complete very thorough paperwork prior it's important that you disclose anything that may affect your suitability.

A scar camouflage tattoo involves a non-invasive procedure in which a trained paramedical tattoo artist skilfully applies pigments to seamlessly blend with the surrounding skin, minimising the visibility of scars. By using natural-looking skin tones, this procedure aids in reinstating self-assurance by effectively concealing scars caused by surgeries, injuries, burns, and skin irregularities

Yes, getting a scar tattoo camouflage is safe if done by a professionally trained specialist. Nevertheless, make sure to maintain good hygiene, utilize sterile equipment, and adhere to post-care guidelines to reduce potential dangers. Healing from a paramedical tattoo is usually the same as healing from a regular tattoo.

The pain is very minimal due to pre numbing creams as well as an aneasthric gel I use, It may feel like a scratch. Most clients tell me plucking brows hairs is more painful than their tattoo procedure.

You can leave the salon after your procedure and go straight back to work. The pinkness usually lasts only an hour or so for brows, eyeliner your eyelids will ‘feel’ a little more swollen than how they actually appear.

My equipment/tools are either disposable hand tools or my machine uses disposable parts, therefore every procedure is done using a brand new needle as well as the attachments, all of which are individually wrapped and sterile, all disposed of after each treatment - as per health and safety requirements.

Your skin type will guide Melissa with pigment choice as well as questions she will ask you on the day. Melissa’s range of pigments is vast.
