A medical tattoo artist is a specialist trained to restore natural features using advanced tattooing techniques, an understanding of anatomy, and the medical knowledge required to work safely on compromised skin. At Med-Ink, Alicia's specializes in compromised skin. Medical tattoo artists are often the final step after surgery, creating symmetry, correcting features, and neutralizing hyper‑ or hypo‑pigmentation. Using professional machines, fine needles, custom pigments, and medical‑grade serums, a medical tattoo artist can soften scars and recreate details such as hair follicles, belly buttons, areolas, and other natural features.

Paramedical tattoos can help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, burns, cleft‑lip scars, and areas affected by surgery, trauma, or medical conditions. Treatments can soften raised or indented scar tissue, restore missing pigment from conditions like vitiligo, recreate 3D areolas after breast surgeries, simulate hair follicles through scalp micropigmentation, and correct or recreate belly buttons in 3D. They can also enhance gender‑specific aesthetics, create symmetry, transform radiation port scars, and use specialized techniques to turn radiation markers into natural‑looking freckles.

Pricing depends on many factors, including the type of treatment, the size and age of the scar or area, and the number of sessions needed. This is why we offer free consultations to provide accurate pricing. A credit card is required to reserve your appointment and is only charged in the event of a no‑show.

Paramedical tattoos, or medical tattoos, are restorative tattoo procedures designed to blend scars, restore missing pigment, and recreate natural features after surgery, trauma, or medical conditions. This advanced form of micropigmentation blends artistic skill and medical knowledge to soften scar visibility, create symmetry, recreate features such as 3D areolas or hair follicles, and restore color where melanin cannot return. At Med‑Ink, we aim to provide support for both physical and emotional healing, helping clients regain confidence, balance, and a sense of wholeness

Most clients describe medical tattooing as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. Sensation varies based on the area being treated, but many people find it tolerable and worth the mild discomfort.

Medical tattooing is permanent, much like a traditional tattoo. And just like a traditional tattoo, factors such as sun exposure, skin type, and natural aging can influence the appearance over time, so occasional touch‑ups may be recommended to keep the results looking their best.

Med‑Ink is a restorative, paramedical tattoo practice specializing in scar revision, areola restoration, and post‑surgical aesthetic finishing. We provide trauma‑informed, confidence‑building care that helps clients feel whole and supported in their healing.
