Paramedical Tattoo vs Traditional Tattoo

What is the difference between the two?

Even though both paramedical camouflage tattoo and traditional tattoos are known to deposit some type of colour into the skin, they do it in different ways!

Let’s take a moment and delve into skin anatomy for starters:
- Although there are seven layers, the skin contains three major sub-divisions (pictured above):
The epidermis on top; dermal layer in the middle containing hair follicles and sweat glands; as well as an underling hypodermic layer comprising of connective tissue combined with fatty tissues.

Traditional tattoo ink is deposited deep into the skin and into the dermis. Pigments used for paramedical camouflage tattoo are deposited in-between the epidermis and dermis.

Paramedical camouflage tattoo is designed to be semi-permanent so it can be touched up as your skin naturally changes tone over the years. Placing the pigment into the epidermal layer will also look the most natural and fade over time. Touch ups are recommended every 3-5 years or as needed. Inkless camouflage is permanent as the skin has been remodeled and healed in the treated area.
