One of the most common questions we hear at Studio Evrē is, “Will my scar disappear completely?” The honest answer: no. But what we can do is make scars much less noticeable. Scar camouflage tattoos are designed to blend the color of your scar with the surrounding skin, helping them draw less attention.
What Camouflage Can Do
Camouflage uses custom pigment blends tattooed into the skin to reduce the contrast between the scar and your natural skin tone. It can:
Soften the appearance of flat, white scars
Make stretch marks far less noticeable
Improve symmetry or create a smoother "canvas" visually
What Camouflage Can't Do
Scar camouflage isn't going to erase your scar or stretch marks. It can't:
Flatten raised or keloid scars
Lighten dark pigmentation on its own
Change the texture of the skin
This is why we always evaluate your scar during a consultation to recommend the best plan. In some cases, scar camouflage might be the final step rather than the first.
Starting With Inkless Revision
For raised, dark, or unevenly textured scars, we often begin with inkless revision treatments. This non-pigment approach uses specialized serums and techniques to smooth, lighten, and soften scars naturally. Once the scar is ready, camouflage can create a seamless blend that looks even more natural.
Setting Realistic Expectations
The best results come from having a clear understanding of what’s possible. Many clients experience incredible confidence boosts with scar camouflage, but they also appreciate knowing what to expect from the process. During your consultation, we’ll walk through your specific scar type, healing history, and goals to create a plan that makes sense for you.
At Studio Evrē, we’ll always keep it real with you about what results you can expect so you feel informed and empowered throughout the process.
