Camouflage Tattoo

We are matching a custom color blend to your natural skin tone. If you are currently tan we will have to wait until you are at your base color to give you the best and most natural blended results.

With that being said, if you tan after receiving the camouflage tattoo, the tattoo itself will not darken or change color, but your actual skin tone will. Since we are taking almost white stretch marks/scars and making them darker to match your base tone they will still be less visible than before.

This treatment is not painful, most patients describe the treatment at a 6 out of 10. We are still tattooing pigment into the skin, however not as deep as a traditional tattoo. At Gleam we offer pro-nox if needed for the most comfortable experience.

The cost will vary depending on the area you would like treated. Pricing ranges from around $600 up to $2,000 per area. We require a consultation prior to your treatment to assess that you are a good candidate for the treatment and provide exact pricing.

This is a real tattoo, so it is permanent. All tattoos change and alter over time from things such as aging, sun exposure and lifestyle. Some tattoos will need a touch up every 3-5 years.

On average everyone will need 2 treatments. This includes the initial treatment and the follow up treatments. In some cases a patient may need up to 4 treatments.

This treatment doesn't remove scars or stretch marks, it is just blending skin tones into the skin to make them disappear. The only way to fully remove stretch marks/scars is surgery. 

Camouflage tattooing is safe and effective for all skin types, however it works best on certain colors of scars/stretch marks.

There is minimal downtime following the initial treatment, for example you will not be able to shower the evening after or work out for two weeks post treatment. You can typically return to a normal routine two weeks following, excluding sun exposure. It can however take up to 45-60 days to fully heal. If you are prone to hyperpigmentation 60-90 days, and in rare cases longer.

You will see your full results after you are healed from your initial and touch up treatments.

Once an area has been camouflaged you will never be able to laser over that skin. This is due to the titanium dioxide in the ink. This is why we recommend receiving all your laser treatments prior to receiving the tattoo.
