Art - How to create beauty from scars 💡

Hello Steemers,

In this society, the value of appearance acquires a great importance; the beauty and external appearance of the person are priority. Covering scars with tattoos is a tendency to attract more and more people, thanks to the democratization of this form of art long misguided. Let's learn more about covering scars!

If it is a discolored or pigmented scar, the color can be masked. If it is a scar in relief, you can not make the appearance disappear but cover it. It all depends on the scar. If it is cancerous, you should discuss it with your doctor as there may be a resurgence of cancer.

However, many women after having undergone a mastectomy, wish to get tattooed their chest. They can also go to breast reconstruction specialists, but they must first finish their treatment for breast cancer.

It is complicated for a tattoo artist to cover a scar. As in the case of a broken bone that has been re-soldered, the healed skin tends to be denser and stronger.

While it is easy to see for yourself the difference in texture between the undamaged skin and the scarred part, it is more complicated for a tattoo artist to explain to a neophyte how much it affects on how to work.

There are actually many types of scars that differ in certain aspects, such as tissue thickness, skin relief, texture or color.

For the tattoo artist, this typology must be taken into account during the development and then the realization of the tattoo (and a good tattoo artist will refuse to take the risk of working on a recent scar that has not yet stabilized).

It is also necessary to think about the choice of colors, whose texture can vary and be more or less difficult to work on smooth skin, and even more on a surface less homogeneous. This choice will also depend on the habits of the tattoo artist: some prefer to work with thicker inks, others with more fluid inks.

The pain can vary enormously from one person to another, we are not all equal before the pain, women resist for example better pain than men. A person can stay 12 hours without flinching, while another will not support after 30 minutes.

But overall, when working on scars, the pain is still important. It really depends on the origin of the scar, whether it is related to an accident or a disease. When it is linked to a disease, it is more difficult, the sessions are shorter. At the level of physical pain, as well as psychological, moral suffering. People can not necessarily cash 3 or 4 hours.
