Stretch Mark Tattoo Camouflage in Edmonton

Stretch marks are indented streaks that appear on the abdomen, breasts, hips, buttocks or other places on the body. They are a common skin concern affecting people of all ages and genders. Whether they result from rapid weight gain, pregnancy or even growth spurts, these lines on the skin can often leave individuals feeling insecure or limited in their wardrobe choices. However, Studio Vanassa is here to shatter those limitations and offer a transformative alternative.

The cause of stretch marks is stretching of the skin. Their severity is affected by several factors, including your genetics and the degree of stress on the skin. Your level of the hormone cortisol also might play a role. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands.

Although stretch marks are typical, most people wish that they could make them permanently disappear. There is an entire industry built around creams, lotions, and even surgery to help conceal these imperfections, but a Brazilian tattoo artist developed a much simpler, more effective solution that Vanassa has learned and now offers here at Studio Vanassa in Edmonton, Alberta!

If you have stretch marks you want to camouflage, we can colour match your skin tone to colour correct the area so it blends into your surrounding skin tone. It disguises skin that is missing pigment or colour is different than surrounding areas. Vanassa uses flesh-coloured ink, a customizable mixture to achieve a tone similar to that of the client’s skin, to hide stretch marks. We cover the discolouration of stretch marks with a soft pigmentation so they are less visible. Once the tattoos have healed, the client’s skin appears smoother, and after 60 days you can sunbathe without the risk of spots developing. If you have a lot, or just a little, our professional paramedical tattoo artists will work with you to ensure the best results in a compassionate and confidential environment.

Stretch Marks are typically lighter or white when Stretch Mark Camouflage is considered. Therefore, there’s a large contrast between your natural skin tone and the white stretch marks. Once you’re healed, your stretch marks look just like your natural skin tone; leaving you with less of a contrast between your stretch marks and your tan.
