If you are deciding upon a tattoo on an area of your body that has stretch marks or in the future may have stretch marks, please consider the following information.
First is what will the effect an existing one will have on a planned tattoo.
Second is whether future ones will affect already existing tattoos.
The third is how to eliminate those already existing and prevent the onset of future ones in order to not worry about them from the beginning.
It is very possible existing ones 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 their size and their age.
How do they 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 amount of elastin 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 it 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.
The deeper and darker stretch marks are those that one should be very cautious of when deciding upon a tattoo.
The ink may look differently on the two skin textures resulting in its inconsistent appearance.
One can plan around the effect of future ones by getting tattoos in areas that are unlikely to be affected by them.
In certain cases, those 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 idea avoiding the stomach area if you are planning on getting pregnant.
In any case, new ones 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 their onset.
