Rubén's scar: A Testimony of Improvement and Art on the Skin.
Story of Rubén, who transformed his burn scars into a work of art. After 7 sessions and years of searching for a solution.
Gustavo Lesmes
Rubén's story is a clear example of how a tattoo can go far beyond the aesthetic; It can become a powerful tool to transform the emotional and physical scars we carry. Every tattoo tells a story, and Rubén's is one of resilience and renewal.
When he was only 8 years old, Rubén experienced an accident that would mark his life. I was at a family barbecue, enjoying a sunny afternoon with friends and loved ones. At one point, an adult, without realizing that little Rubén was nearby, carelessly turned a pan of boiling oil. Unfortunately, the liquid fell on him, causing severe burns that left permanent scars on his body.
The burns were deep, and the pain was indescribable. Rubén was rushed to the hospital, where he spent months in treatment, including multiple procedures and skin graft transplants. Over time, the physical wounds healed, but the scars stayed with him, both on his body and in his mind, constantly reminding him of that tragic incident. For more than 25 years, Rubén lived with scars and keloids that covered part of his body, a reality that was difficult for him to accept.
Despite this, Rubén never stopped looking for a solution that would help him reconcile with his body. Finally, after a long journey, he found in the tattoo the answer he longed for. It was then that he fully trusted the team at our studio and, in particular, Gustavo, who took on the responsibility of transforming Rubén's scars into a work of art.
The process was not easy. Before starting the tattoo sessions, a meticulous study of anatomical drawing and prior fitting on the scars was carried out. The perfect way to camouflage and transform those deep marks into something Rubén could wear with pride needed to be found. This pre-analysis took a full week of planning.
Once the design was approved, a total of seven sessions were held, each lasting between 5 and 8 hours. It was a long and demanding process for both Rubén and our team, but the final result was exactly what he had dreamed of for so many years. In the "before" photo, you can see the scars that Rubén had to endure for more than 25 years. And in the "after" image, you can see the final result: a scar camouflage that is now part of your skin in a harmonious and artistic way.
Rubén was not alone on this trip. His family accompanied him throughout the entire process, providing him with emotional support at every step. Their presence was essential so that Rubén could feel safe and confident while transforming such an important part of his life.
