Understand the Types of Paramedical Tattoos

Paramedical tattoos, also known as scar camouflage, are tattoos designed to camouflage scars and skin irregularities. In order to find a qualified paramedical tattoo artist, you need to research potential candidates and make sure they have the necessary skills and experience. It’s important to take the time to read reviews, ask for references from past clients and take into account qualifications such as certifications or awards.

Paramedical tattoos are a specialized type of tattooing that is used to restore the appearance of skin in cases of cosmetic or traumatic damage. There are three major types of paramedical tattoos: areola restoration, scar camouflage and vitiligo camouflage. Areola restoration tattoos are used to recreate the natural shape and color of the areola after a mastectomy. Scar camouflage tattoos mask the appearance of scars and can range from simple color matching to intricate shading and stippling. Scar camouflage can also be used to create a realistic result after top surgery or phalloplasty. Vitiligo camouflage tattoos are used to match the surrounding skin color for those with the skin pigment disease vitiligo. While the results of paramedical tattooing can be life-changing, it is important to consult a highly trained and experienced artist to ensure the best possible outcome.

Researching Qualified Paramedical Tattoo Artists

It is important to do your research when selecting a qualified paramedical tattoo artist. Look into any relevant associations and certifications, such as the American Academy of Micropigmentation (AAM) or the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals (SPCP). Doing this will give you peace of mind that you are choosing someone with experience and knowledge. Ask what certification(s) the artist has received for whichever treatment you are interested in. Did they train in-person? With the rise of online only training it is important to ensure that your paramedical tattoo artist has worked on human skin and has specialized training in the field. Paramedical tattoos are an advanced procedure and your artist should have taken specialized training. Additionally, you can read reviews online and ask around to find recommendations. It may also be helpful to visit their studio and talk to them directly, so you can determine if they are the right fit for you.

Questions to Ask During Your Consultation

  • What is the cost of the procedure?
  • What is the artist’s experience with this type of tattoo?
  • How long will the procedure take?
  • How many appointments will it take?
  • What is the aftercare for the tattoo?
  • Are there any risks?
  • Ask about insurance coverage for areola restorative tattoo procedures

Don’t forget to let your artist know of any current or past medical procedures, medications you are currently taking, and anything else you feel relevant!

Just like any medical treatment, the process of selecting and receiving a paramedical tattoo should be approached with the utmost care, research, and consideration.

Taking all these steps will ensure that you end up with an experienced artist who will be able to work with you throughout the process to make sure that your expectations are met and that you leave happy with your new ink!
