Camouflage Tattoo

 

Do you have scars, stretch marks, or areas of uneven pigmentation? A camouflage tattoo is a specialized technique that blends skin-colored pigment into the skin, reducing the visibility of discoloration. At Angelina Tattoos, we customize color-matching pigments to create a seamless, natural appearance for all skin tones. Plus, a second retouch session after 2-3 weeks ensures even blending and long-lasting results.

 

 

A camouflage tattoo, also known as paramedical tattooing, is a technique that deposits custom-mixed skin-tone pigments into areas of the skin with discoloration. It helps conceal scars, stretch marks, vitiligo, and other pigmentation differences, blending them with the surrounding skin.

 

• Typically lasts 3-5 years, depending on skin type and lifestyle.
• Fades gradually over time.
• Touch-ups help maintain an even tone.

 

A camouflage tattoo is ideal for anyone looking to reduce the appearance of:

 

• Scars – From surgeries, injuries, burns, or acne.
• Stretch Marks – Blends faded stretch marks with natural skin tone.
• Vitiligo – Evens out depigmented areas for a balanced look.
• Hypopigmentation – Covers patches of lighter skin.
• Birthmarks – Softens and blends noticeable differences in skin tone.

 

 

At Angelina Tattoos, we use advanced color-matching techniques to blend the pigment with your exact skin tone.

 

1. We analyze your natural skin undertones (warm, cool, or neutral).
2. A custom pigment blend is created to match your unique skin color.
3. The pigment is applied directly to ensure a perfect match.

 

Unlike traditional tattoos, camouflage pigments are designed to fade naturally and adapt to the skin’s subtle changes over time.

 

 Before the Appointment

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before the procedure.
• Moisturize the skin daily to ensure it’s hydrated.
• If covering a scar, it must be fully healed (at least 12 months old).

 

1. A numbing cream is applied for comfort.
2. The artist carefully matches and applies the pigment to the affected area.
3. A micropigmentation technique is used to blend the pigment seamlessly.
4. The session takes 1-3 hours, depending on the size of the area.

 

• The treated area may appear slightly darker or reddish for a few days.
• The pigment settles and blends over the next 4-6 weeks.
• Some areas may require a touch-up for even coverage.

 

Following aftercare instructions is crucial for best results.

 

• Keep the area clean and dry for the first 48 hours.
• Wear loose, breathable clothing if the treated area is on the body.

 

• Avoid scratching, peeling, or picking at the area.
• No swimming, saunas, or direct sun exposure for at least 1 week.
• Avoid intense exercise that causes heavy sweating.
• Do not use healing ointments as they may change the color of the pigment. Let the skin heal naturally.

 

 

 

A follow-up session is essential to perfect the results.

• Scheduled 2-3 weeks after the initial procedure.
• Adjusts pigment intensity for a flawless match.
• Ensures even blending and corrects any areas that didn’t retain pigment well.

 

Skipping the touch-up session may result in uneven color fading.

 

Yes! At Angelina Tattoos, we use hypoallergenic, medical-grade pigments and follow strict sterilization protocols. Our experienced artists ensure a safe, comfortable, and natural-looking result. A patch test is available for clients with sensitive skin.

Most clients report minimal discomfort. We use a numbing cream to ensure a pain-free experience.

Initial healing takes 7-10 days, but full color blending is visible after 4-6 weeks.

Avoid makeup, lotions, or creams on the area until fully healed.

Pricing depends on size, complexity, and color matching. Contact Angelina Tattoos for a consultation.

It’s semi-permanent, lasting 3-5 years before gradual fading occurs.
