Is it possible to get stretch marks tattooed?

Indeed, it is possible to get stretch marks tattooed, both with a traditional design or with another that simply tries to hide the marks with your skin tone. This last procedure, as you can imagine, is very new and there are still few specialists who are dedicated to it.

What must be considered?

Tattooing stretch marks is something that must be very clear. That is why it is important that you follow this series of tips:

• Keep in mind that not all scar tissue can be tattooed. For example, if these are very recent marks (you will recognize them for having a reddish color or because they “stick out” from the skin, whereas the old ones are white), a tattoo can worsen the situation and interfere in the process of healing your body. Also, old stretch marks are much easier to tattoo than fresh scars. It is also not advisable to tattoo very deep stretch marks.
• You will not be able to determine the size of your tattoo. With this we do not mean that you have nothing to say about it, it is that the final design will depend on how far your stretch marks go. The tattoo artist may recommend changing the size for a better result.
• Remember that tattoos do not heal stretch marksthey simply cover them.
• Finally, look for a professional who knows how to tattoo scar tissue and who has a lot of experience. It is also highly recommended that you talk to your dermatologist about it.

What process do tattoos follow to camouflage stretch marks?

There are two possible processes for these tattoos. First of all, if you go for a classic design, you will hardly notice any changes. Nevertheless, Some professionals to hide stretch marks with ink of the same color follow a somewhat different process, with a tattoo gun that micropuncturizes the stretch mark and "paints" it with the ink chosen by the tattoo artist, which must be, obviously, the closest thing to your skin tone so that it remains a uniform tone.

Do stretch mark tattoos last forever?

Tattoos on stretch marks that are a "normal" design last the same as a conventional tattoo (That is, it depends a lot on factors such as how well you care for the tattoo, if it is normally exposed to the sun ...).

Instead, tattoos that camouflage stretch marks do tend to lose a bit of color over time or even, depending on the treatment, disappear after three and five years.

How much do they cost?

Stretch mark tattoos, being a different type of skin from the regular one, tend to be somewhat more expensive than the average, especially if it is a design that seeks to hide the marks with ink with the same skin tone. In this case the price is closer to a cosmetic treatment than a tattoo, and it is not uncommon for them to count in thousands of euros.

If I get pregnant, can stretch marks ruin my tattoo?

Like much in the world of tattoos, it depends a lot on the person and the weight they gain in pregnancy. In general, the design gives itself especially in areas such as the gut, chest or hips, but it can return to its previous state with the birth of the baby.

Of course, it depends, again, on the person and the type of tattoo. For example, large tattoos tend to warp considerably less than small ones.
