FAQs - paramedical tattooing
What happens if I tan?
Your tattoo will not change color at all, so depending on how dark you get when you tan will determine the overall contrast between your natural skin tone and your tanned skin.
How long will it last?
Technically this is a tattoo, so it will be permanent. With that being said all tattoos change, fade, and overtime due to aging, sun exposure, and health, you may need a touch up in 3-5 years.
how many sessions will i need?
Everyones skin, scar or stretch marks, are different so it’s hard to say but typically you are looking at 2-4 sessions! Once you book a consultation with me your overall timeline can be better determined!
does it hurt?
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but the average pain on a scale from 0-10 is about a 5 or a 6. Some of the most sensitive areas include: behind the knees, flanks (love handles), around your ovaries, under arms and ribs! Again this is all based on personal pain tolerance levels. Also, a helpful tip is to NOT book during your monthly cycle! Not only does it take longer to heal but you also have a lower pain tolerance and thinner blood.
HOw much does it cost?
During your first consultation price can be better determined due to me being able to look at your skins stretch marks or scars, thus I will be able to give you a more accurate quote. The investment ranges in price.
What happens if i get pregnant again or get more stretch marks?
I am only able to camouflage the stretch marks that are visible during the session. With that being said, if you do get pregnant again or get more stretch marks, everything is documented so we can go back in and touch things up once you are healed.
Can you tattoo over black ink?
No, I cannot tattoo over black ink. Camouflage tattooing doesn’t cover like makeup does, the black ink will still be visible under the skin and to the naked eye.
How long will it take me to heal?
Everyones skin heals differently so it is hard to give a specific timeline for healing. On average it takes 45-60 days to completely heal. If you are someone who is prone to hyperpigmentation then you are looking more at 60-90 days. There are also some rare cases that could exceed 90 days until you are fully healed.
