6. Is there any downtime after the procedure?
There is minimal downtime after the procedure. Clients may experience some redness, swelling, or tenderness at the treatment site, but this typically resolves within a few days. Most people can return to normal activities shortly after the procedure, although we recommend avoiding direct sunlight or certain skin treatments immediately after.
7. How do I know if Medical Body Blending is right for me?
If you are looking to address scars, skin discoloration, or other imperfections caused by surgeries, injuries, or other treatments, Medical Body Blending may be an ideal option for you.

8. What is the consultation process like?
During your consultation, you will meet with one of our medical tattooists to discuss your specific concerns and goals. We will assess your skin, review your medical history, and answer any questions you may have. Based on this, we will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

11. What happens if I tan?
The camouflage tattoo does not change color, so depending on how dark you tan, your stretch marks may become more or less noticeable.
12. How long will this last?
Technically, this is a tattoo, so it is permanent. However, all tattoos can change, fade, or alter over time due to sun exposure, aging, and overall health. You may need a touch-up in 3 to 5 years.
13. How many sessions will I need?
Every individual’s scars and stretch marks are unique, but most clients require 2 to 3 sessions on average. However, additional sessions are not mandatory.
14. Do you use any numbing creams?
Unfortunately, no. Since I work on compromised skin, I avoid using numbing creams to ensure there are no barriers that might prevent the ink or serum from being retained effectively.
15. Does it hurt?
Pain tolerance varies for everyone, but most clients rate the discomfort at a 3 or 4 on a scale of 1 to 10.

16. How long should I wait before getting into a pool or lake?
You should wait at least 30 days.
17. What happens if I get pregnant again or develop more stretch marks?
At the time of your session, I can only tattoo what is visible. If you develop new stretch marks, we will need to wait until they are fully healed before scheduling another session.
18. Can you tattoo over black ink?
No, skin-toned ink will not sit on top of black ink. Since the ink is deposited into your skin, tattoo removal is the best option before proceeding.
19. I’m always tanned—can you just match my tanned skin color?
No, we only match your natural skin tone to ensure the most natural appearance.
20. How long will it take me to heal?
Healing times vary for everyone. On average, most clients heal within 45 to 60 days. If you are prone to hyperpigmentation, healing may take 60 to 90 days or, in rare cases, longer.
