Camouflage tattooing is a specialised technique that utilises specially formulated pigments to blend stretch marks and scars with the surrounding skin, resulting in a more uniform appearance. The camouflage technique is designed to mimic the disposition of skin, aging and blending to provide long-lasting and natural-looking results.
