• The skin has different shades on different parts of the body and may differ in one area. Therefore, make sure that your specialist uses not one colour, but several at once.
• While you are "wearing" a cosmetic tattoo, protect it from any aggressive influences and ultraviolet rays.
• Camouflage only areas that have been with you for more than 4 months - so you can be sure that the healing process is complete.
• Do not try to get a medical tattoo on pink scars. The colour indicates that the regeneration is incomplete, so you risk getting another injury.
