![]() A very feminine graphic form, this Baroque lotus is a fine and exquisite choice for your tattoo.

And it respects the artist.A classic Baroque lotus that is not only intricately ornate, but also sensuous is what makes this tummy tuck cover up tattoo beautiful and charming. These principles may explain why placing scars on the boundary of- but not within- tattoos generates satisfactory, and often imperceptible, scars. Finally, strong line stimuli can make a weaker stimulus invisible we expect the contrast of tattoo, surgical scar, and skin to be a distractor from the scar itself. This is particularly true for gradients and shadows characterized by diffuse boundaries. Objects are better camouflaged in the context of a heterogeneous background. Pigmentation making strong edges near to or perpendicular to an object outline might suppress information about the true outline by providing disruptive information about non-coherent edges at erroneous locations. Object boundaries are harder to detect when they are the same color and intensity as their background. Disruption of object edge contours make it harder to detect. The science of camouflage is relevant to scar appearance. That is the take-home message of the story. In both cases, and inconspicuous scar is achieved, and the tattoo artist’s work will have been respected. Rather than putting a scar within a tattoo, it may be better to put a scar just outside the tattoo. After watching this video, hopefully plastic surgeons and other surgeons may think twice about doing this. In many cases, he or she will opt to take advantage of pre-existing tattoos. In most cases, the plastic surgeon will discuss optimal scar placement with the patient. So what’s the right answer? Obtaining patient consent alone, or respecting the tattoo artist? And of course, it is very inappropriate for a plastic surgeon to place an incision through a stroke created by his fellow artist. Even more so, it is unimaginable to tattoo over another artist’s work. For example, except for an artist’s sickness or incarceration, it is inappropriate to have another artist complete the tattoo that was initiated elsewhere. In fact, many rules exist amongst tattoo artists regarding etiquette and mutual respect. This is because a plastic surgeon will appropriately posit that this makes the scar relatively invisible, or at the very least, hard to see.īut I learned recently that this is disrespectful. In most cases, patients will quickly consent to placing a scar within the tattoo. However, this is, by definition, defacing somebody else’s artwork. The benefits of placing a scar within the pigment of a tattoo are 1.) scar inconspicuousness and 2.) the ability to tattoo over the scar. ![]() As the abdomen and arms are very common locations for tattoos and liposculpture, liposuction in these areas allow a surgeon to place a scar within a tattoo or outside the tattoo. If the optimal scar position lies along the path of a tattoo, it is better to change the scar position, or to sacrifice the tattoo? This becomes a very personal question.Įven more challenging are liposuction cases. However, for elective surgery, a challenge arises when there is an option for where to place the scar. In such cases, tattoos are an afterthought. In certain cases, like medical emergency and trauma, nothing trumps the importance of life and limb. Some of the masterpieces that come across my exam tables are impressive, to say the least.īecause we share the same canvas, struggles can sometimes arise wherein the path of the scalpel and the stroke of the tattoo may sometimes intersect. As with plastic surgery, the sophistication and technology of tattooing is evolving. ![]() They are accountable for permanent changes to the healthy human which imposes a lot of stress and excitement. The tattoo artist, like the plastic surgeon, takes pride in his or her craft. Tattoo artists and plastic surgeons share one big thing in common: our canvas is the human body. ![]()
