When a tattoo artist pushes the needles too far or at the wrong angle, they can cause tattoo scarring.The ink goes too deep into the skin and causes it to run into unwanted areas.The skin can be damaged by the needle.If you want to get rid of tattoo scarring, you can try concealing it, remove it completely, or heal it over time.If you want to prevent these conditions, you should always use an experienced tattoo artist, rather than giving yourself a homemade tattoo, and avoid tattooing thin skin.
Step 1: The tattoo should have some background shading.
Ask an experienced tattoo artist to add shading to the tattoo in order to cover up the scarring.A blow up is visible on the edge of a tattoo.You can either add or expand the tattoo.You could use background shading to cover the blow up.Pick a colour that matches the tattoo.
Step 2: Don't use a skin colored dye to hide it.
Some tattoo artists suggest covering tattoo scars with a skin colored dye.You shouldn't accept this advice.It will be very difficult to find a colour that matches your skin and this can make the tattoo look worse.
Step 3: Makeup can be used to cover up a scar.
If you want to cover up a tattoo scar or blow out with makeup, you need to put a primer over the area.Use a brush to apply a base foundation that matches your skin colour.You will want to put eye shadow on the area.Depending on your skin tone, choose a darker colour such as orange or pink.The ink needs to be covered with a dark colour.You will spray the area with hair spray in order to keep the colour on your skin.When the hair is wet, apply a concealer that matches your skin tone.There is a tattoo on the skin.
Step 4: Wait for it to go away.
Over time the tattoo will fade.Wait a year to see if the scars are still there.It is possible that the blow up will be dispersed over a large area that is no longer visible.A bruise may be mistaken for a blow.The tattoo will look fine if the bruise fades.
Step 5: Direct sunlight can be harmful.
Don't put the scar in the sun.The sun can cause scarred tissue to turn red, making it look more noticeable.Before sun exposure, you should always apply sunscreen to the scarred area.Reapply a sunscreen that is SPF 30 frequently.
Step 6: There is a scar and it is recommended that you apply aloe Vera to it.
It may be possible to reduce the appearance of scars by using a gel made from a plant.The gel from the plant can help heal the skin and reduce scars.2 to 3 times a day, apply the gel directly to the scarred skin.
Step 7: The area needs to be moist.
It won't remove the scar, but it may help to blend it with the surrounding skin.It is possible to reduce the appearance of scars by using Moisturizers.
Step 8: Try a laser tattoo removal.
Laser tattoo removal uses heat to break up ink particles.The process is expensive and takes a few rounds of treatment to complete.Depending on the size of your tattoo, laser removal can cost anywhere from $75 to $300 per session.Some tattoos can take up to 20 sessions to remove completely.
Step 9: You can remove a tattoo with dermabrasion.
Local anesthesia or a numbing spray will be used.A doctor will shave the tattoo down to make the skin look better.It's not as effective as dermaplaning, in which a doctor will use a tool to shave the skin down until a new layer is reached.Permanent scarring is a result of these procedures being done with tattoos that are quite deep.It will take a few weeks for the swelling and redness to heal.
Step 10: Consider surgery.
Some small tattoos can be removed by cutting them out and sewing them back together.The excised skin may need a skin transplant.This method has some minor side effects.
Step 11: An experienced tattoo artist is a good choice.
An experienced tattoo artist is the best way to prevent tattoo scarring.Do your research before getting a tattoo.Ask a friend for a referral if you want to search through the portfolio of potential tattoo artists.
Step 12: Don't get a tattoo on thin skin.
When working on thin skin, experienced tattoo artists can cause blow ups.Don't get a tattoo on your ankle or chest if you are worried about it.The skin is close to the bone.
Step 13: Don't twist or stretch the skin after getting a tattoo.
If you stretch, twist or pull your skin immediately after a tattoo, it can be worsened.You could unintentionally cause the ink to go into the wrong part of the skin.Don't pull the tattoo until it's completely healed.
