What Do Stretch Marks Alter on Tattoos?
If you are thinking about getting a tattoo, but worried about the effect stretch marks may have on it, there is some important information to consider.
First is what will the effect an existing stretch mark have on a planned tattoo. The second consideration is how to plan around future stretch marks when getting tattoos on stretch mark prone areas of the body. The third is how to eliminate existing stretch marks and prevent the onset of future ones in order to not worry over them in the first place.
It is very possible existing stretch marks will have a visual effect on the end result of a new tattoo. The two factors that determine the degree to which it will influence it are the size and the age of the stretch marks. How do these stretch marks get their size? They result from a rapid stretching of the skin usually following rapid fluctuations in weight from pregnancy, muscle building, or rapid gain or loss of fat. Severe pulling forces on the skin will overcome the dermis' elasticity. When the elastin of the skin is broken, these unsightly lines appear. The degree to which the elastin was torn in the process will determine its ultimate size.
At first the lines will have a reddish or purple tint, and afterwards gradually fade to a lighter range. What is important to note is that if the stretch mark is light colored with little variation from the surrounding skin texture, the tatttoo will most likely be able to cover it without to much of a problem. It is the larger and deeper stretch marks that one should be wary of when deciding upon a tattoo or not. The ink may look differently on the two skin textures resulting in its inconsistent appearance.
Then there is the foresight of not getting tattoos where future stretch marks might appear. In certain cases, stretch marks forming over a tattoo can break can break its alignment, causing the image to look distorted. Common areas for stretch marks are the abdomen, arms, lower back, breasts, and thighs. For example, it is a good plan to avoid the stomach area if you are planning on getting pregnant. In any case, new stretch marks can easily affect existing tattoos, therefore consideration as to where they are placed should be a key factor in the decision process. The other way around this is to use skin care products that are proven to prevent the onset of stretch marks.
BIO BODY CREAM is a product of the BIOCUTIS skin care line which is specially designed to eliminate existing stretch marks and keep away the conditions that allow future ones to appear. It is made of only natural ingredients with one being a naturally occurring biological skin serum from snails that has highly effective regenerative properties. As snails travel on nude skin all over Earth's elements fully exposed to the sun, they are needing to constantly emit a skin serum to maintain their skin's health and their own survival. Since their skin is made of largely collagen and elastin like ours is, its regenerative components work to the same end for us when we apply it daily. The serum's ability to replenish skin back to its healthy and natural texture has been validated by scientists and MD's from some of the most prestigious dermatology services in the world. The stretch mark removal cream BIO BODY CREAM penetrates deep to strengthen the fragile skin where a stretch mark is located to regain the skin's firmness, strength, suppleness, and elasticity. In addition, it sustains the immune system so that it does not over-react to skin stretching and inhibits the release of the biological irritants involved in the onset of stretch marks, and promotes scar tissue removal within the dermis layer of the skin. In this way it gets rid of both new and old stretch marks and prevents stretch marks. Learn more about how our product treats stretch marks at our informative websites today!
