Paramedical tattoos

What are they:

Paramedical tattoos, often referred to as medical tattoos. They are a specialized tattoo procedure designed to help restore the appearance of the skin after trauma, surgery, or other medical conditions. These tattoos can cover scars, discolourations, or missing areolas after mastectomy, and help to provide a realistic appearance.

The Benefits:

The benefits of paramedical tattoos are numerous. Firstly, they enhance self-esteem and body image, helping individuals feel more confident in their skin. Additionally, they can aid in the emotional healing process by allowing people to reclaim their bodies after medical issues. Paramedical tattoos also offer a non-invasive solution for those who may not want to undergo further surgical procedures. Ultimately, these tattoos serve as a powerful tool for both physical and emotional recovery, making a significant difference in many people’s lives.

The Cost:

Due to the unique and personal nature of each tattoo, we are unable to offer standard pricing. Rather prior to the tattoo session, a consultation will be scheduled to discuss your specific design, during which detailed pricing will be provided.
