Tattooing Over Scars

  

Tattooing Over Scars

     Some people decide to tattoo over scars because they are not satisfied with how their skin looks scarred, while others may have been involved in an accident or their skin is scarred because of surgery or a disease. In these cases, getting tattooed over scars can mean reclaiming back their body and self which is meaningful to them and it helps them feel better about themselves and their well-being. 

    Tattooing over scars is doable but it can be more challenging than tattooing over unscarred skin. Tattooing over scar will likely make procedure slightly more painful than it normally would be as the skin is more sensitive. Scarred skin is less able to absorb ink and the ink tends to more irregularly settle in scar tissue than it does in unscarred tissue. Ideally the scar should be two years old but a minimum of a year is mandatory for tattooing over. Other things to put into consideration is that if done incorrectly there is a possibility that tattooing over scar can cause more scarring, and that the color of your tattoo could bleed.        

     In closing, if you are considering getting a scar tattooed over, you will want to work with an experienced artist that is familiar with scar types/ tattooing over scars and can help you come up with the best design for your scar coverup. Getting a tattoo is a big commitment and you want to make sure that you are ready to proceed forward with it as well as being mentally prepared. 

Getting Tattooed During The Covid-19 Pandemic

  With the Coronavirus outbreak came the fear of going out and enjoying their lives or doing things they found pleasure in before the pandemic hit. Many people have reconsidered or postponed getting a tattoo during this outbreak because they are not aware or educated on the steps that a studio takes to protect the health and well-being of its clients. We at Lucky Bamboo Tattoo have not experienced a single case of Covid-19 transmitted since the outbreak began as we do everything possible to ensure the cleanliness and safety of everyone we come in contact with. 

 

  We always take the necessary steps and precautions to guard against pathogens and cross contamination, it's nothing new to us as before, during, or after the global pandemic outbreak.  We sanitize and disinfect all of the tools and surfaces after each use and use barriers and disposable items to ensure that the environment is clean, safe and up to standards. We go above and beyond the health department standards and regulations to ensure that necessary steps of cleaning and sanitization are utilized as health and safety of our clients has and always will be important to the owner and the staff of Lucky Bamboo Tattoo.

    One of the things we noticed is that our business didn't slow down at all during the outbreak and we have been full speed ahead at making our clients dreams come true one tattoo at the time and we have no intentions of slowing down. We as Lucky Bamboo Tattoo pride ourselves on cleanliness of the studio and friendliness and attentiveness of  all our staff members to our clients needs.
