Karina's Scar.

Many years ago, Karina suffered an accident that left her with burns on the front of both legs, particularly affecting the quadriceps area. Over time, the burns healed, forming keloids, a type of scar that is characterized by being thick, irregular, raised and with a different texture from the rest of the skin. Keloids can appear anywhere on the body where a skin injury has occurred, and in their case, they left a deep mark both physically and emotionally.

Karina, in search of an aesthetic solution that would allow her to regain confidence in her body, went to a tattoo artist who, supposedly, was a professional in covering scars. However, what promised to be a process of healing and transformation turned into a much more traumatic experience.

The tattoo artist, without the necessary experience and knowledge in this type of work, made the situation worse. The keloid-shaped scar added to a poorly executed tattoo resulted in an aesthetic disaster. This demonstrates the importance of using artists with experience and training in scar coverage. Tattooing over scars, especially keloids, is a technical and artistic challenge that requires skill, anatomical knowledge and precise focus for the result to be successful.

The Importance of Experience in Scar Tattoos

Gustavo Lesmes, a renowned expert in scar tattoos, took Karina's case as a personal and professional challenge. After carefully analyzing the situation, Gustavo relied on digital tools and his experience in artistic design to create a tailored solution. In these types of cases, there is only one chance to correct the damage, making every decision crucial.

Covering scars, especially keloids, is an art that requires pinpoint precision. Unlike normal skin, scars are areas where the skin is harder, raised and often more sensitive, making the tattooing process more difficult. Making straight lines, uniform shadows or attractive compositions in these areas is a challenge that few artists are trained to face. Gustavo spent time studying the texture, shape and behavior of Karina's skin before creating his final design, making sure every stroke was perfect.

This type of work requires a deep understanding not only of the art of tattooing, but also of human anatomy and skin textures. Gustavo highlights the importance of doing careful research before choosing an artist to cover scars. Many times, people look for cheaper options without understanding that a bad decision can have irreversible consequences. As in Karina's case, cheap can be expensive, leaving scars even more difficult to correct.

Common Causes of Keloids

Keloids can appear as a result of various skin injuries. They are common after burns, severe acne, chickenpox, body piercings, surgical cuts or trauma. People under the age of 30, as well as those of black, Asian or Hispanic race, are more likely to develop these types of scars. In fact, keloids are often passed down genetically. In some cases, people do not remember what specific injury caused the keloid to appear, which can make it difficult to treat.
