Ink Illusions has 13 years experience working with all skin types to produce results consistently.

We also teach our methods to other practitioners and clinics.
Have a look above and below at some before and after photos on how we can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks in as little as one or two sessions by tattooing either with scar repair serums or tattoo ink, or sometimes even a combination of both. The same methods can also be used to improve the appearance of surgical and injury scars. We can also camouflage vitiligo with custom-blended skin tone tattoo ink.

What is Stretch mark camouflage tattooing?
With stretch mark tattoo camouflage, we implant (with tattooing techniques) a custom blended skin tone ink in to your stretch marks to help them blend in more and therefore become less noticeable. We do this in a natural way so the ink doesn’t look obvious and so that it will fade slowly over time (usually 3-10 years).
How many sessions of stretch mark tattooing will I need?
How many session you will need to stretch mark tattooing will depend on many different variables.
Usually 2 sessions of stretch mark tattooing are required for the complete result. This will depend on many factors such as your skin type, ink retention, age, body’s immune system, lifestyle, activeness, and following aftercare. Sometimes the skin will need preparing for inking first with MCA inkless tattooing / needling. In many cases this is enough to improve the stretch marks without the need for ink, but some clients will still need ink afterwards. If the stretch marks are wrinkly or deeper than the surrounding skin, then you will definitely need MCA inkless tattooing first (formerly known as dry-tattooing).

Is stretch mark tattooing suitable for all skin types?
If you have a dark skin type and are prone to hyperpigmentation, then there is a risk that any sort of needling (including tattooing) can cause further pigmentation to be stimulated. Obviously this pigmentation is needed in lighter stretch marks, so we can use this to our advantage. However, usually a patch test is carried out of inkless MCA needling and a colour match test to see which treatment may be best suited.
If you have very pale skin, there is a possibility that the ink will be noticeable due to the transparency of the skin and not all pale skin types will be able to have treatment. We would have to do a colour match test to assess the healed result.
How long does it take to see results after stretch mark camouflage?
This depends on your skin type, your immune system, your health, your lifestyle, following your aftercare, your age, and if you are prone to hyperpigmentation. With stretch mark tattoo camouflage, it usually takes 60 days at least for the colour to have completely settled. If you have the inkless method of stretch mark camouflage (also known as Inkless Stretch Mark Revision ISR), this is usually 6 weeks, although this can be significantly longer if you are prone to hyperpigmentation.
Can I completely get rid of my stretch marks?
It is not possible to remove stretch marks completely. It is possible to shrink and smooth them, as well as bring back natural pigmentation, sometimes with the help of tattoo ink. We can disguise stretch marks and improve their appearance but understand we can’t get rid of them completely. Some people have an amazing result, even after 1 session, but this varies from person to person for the reasons explained above.
For the best chance of improving your stretch marks, Ink Illusions has years of experience working with all skin types, so with us you would have the best chance of improving your confidence.
