Also known as skin color tattooing or camouflage tattooing, scar camouflage is a needle and pigment technique that blends scars into the surrounding natural skin using permanent makeup pigments. Typically performed by a medical or paramedical tattoo technician/artist, skin repigmentation has become increasingly popular for its ability to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and other areas affected by hypopigmentation (read: missing color).

Just like other forms of paramedical tattooing, scar camouflage isn’t the same as a typical decorative tattoo.. Scars (from surgery or injury)
 Stretch marks
 Areas lacking pigmentation (from skin conditions like vitiligo)
