SCAR CAMOUFLAGE TATTOO IN GRIMSBY

Scar camouflage tattooing is a type of paramedical tattoo that blends scars into your natural skin tone, making them much less noticeable.

We use medical-grade pigments matched to your skin and apply them with specialized techniques for scar tissue, creating a smooth, even appearance over time.

Pricing for scar camouflage at SKN Deep starts at $350+ HST per session, with your final quote depending on:

• The size and location of your scar
  
• The type of scar (e.g., C-section, stretch marks, surgical, trauma-related)
  
• The number of sessions required for a natural blend

Every treatment plan is unique. During your consultation, we’ll assess your scar, create a custom pigment match for your skin tone an optional patch test, and explain what to expect. You will also receive a clear quote and personalized scar plan to achieve your desired results.

Most scar camouflage tattoos last 3 to 5 years, and in many cases, even longer especially with proper care.

The longevity depends on factors like:

• Skin type – Oilier skin or higher melanin levels may fade slightly faster
  
• Sun exposure – UV rays can break down pigment over time
  
• Lifestyle – Frequent exfoliation, swimming, or chemical treatments can reduce lifespan
  
• Aftercare – Following post-treatment instructions ensures the pigment sets properly and lasts longer
  

Unlike traditional tattoos, camouflage pigments are designed to fade gradually and naturally, so your results always look soft, not harsh or overdone.

Touch-ups are rarely urgent, and when needed, they’re typically straightforward and low-maintenance.

We take our time to make sure your results are seamless, safe, and tailored to you. Here's a general breakdown:

Appointment Time:

• Most treatments take between 1.5 to 3.5 hours
• For larger areas (like stretch marks or multiple scars), you may need a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart for the best results

Each appointment includes:

• A thorough consultation and skin analysis
• Custom pigment matching to your exact skin tone
• The tattooing process, done with care and precision
• Aftercare ointment and a clear aftercare instruction guide so you know exactly what to expect during healing

You’ll leave each session feeling informed, supported, and one step closer to feeling more confident in your skin.

We get this question a lot and we understand, especially if your scar has physical or emotional sensitivity. 

Most clients repost the sensation to be more of a nuisance than actual pain. Although there are certain areas of the body that are more sensitive than others. 

• You might feel a light scratchy or vibrating sensation
• We do not use numbing cream as it changes the texture of the skin and can affect pigment retention

Your artist will check in to make sure you're as comfortable as possible during treatment.

Scar camouflage tattooing is for anyone who is ready to feel more confident in their skin again.

We hear from many clients who feel limited by their scars and we’re passionate about restoring your pigment and your confidence! 

You may be a great candidate if:

• Your scar is fully healed (typically 12–18 months old) and lies flat on the skin
• You have surgical, C-section, self-harm, or trauma-related scars, skin disease, burns
• You’re looking to blend your scar into your natural skin tone. Not erase it, but soften it
• You’re in good overall health and not prone to keloid scarring
• You have realistic expectations and value a natural-looking, subtle result

We’re trained to match all skin types, using a particular color-matching process to blend with your skin tone accurately.

If your scar is raised, red, purple, or actively healing, we may recommend waiting or exploring other treatment options first.

We’ll guide you through what’s best based on your skin and scar type.

Yes, our scar camouflage tattoo service works on all skin types and tones, from very fair to deep complexions.

Our paramedical artists are trained to work across the entire Fitzpatrick scale (I–VI), and create a custom pigment blend that matches your unique skin tone.

Because every scar and skin type heals differently, we start with a thorough consultation.

This allows us to look at your scar, talk through your goals, and plan the best approach for a natural, seamless result.

Your consultation is required before booking the series of sessions with no pressure to book.

Here's What to Expect During Your Consultation:

• Intro + Scar Assessment: We’ll explain the service and evaluate your scars to check for texture, color and document any important details.
