Tattoo to cover Cristina's scar
What to do when a tattoo studio doesn't have experience covering scars.

When Cristina was 18, she self-harmed, creating countless cuts on her forearm.
These cuts caused scarring in the form of lines, which are whiter than her natural skin color, making them more visible.
She went to a tattoo studio to have the scar covered with a tattoo. The problem is that the tattoo studio had no experience in scar coverage or advice.
The result is what we see in the first two photos; the tattoo artist failed to consider several solutions and failed to properly adapt to the scar shapes.
In this case, Gustavo Lesmes was in charge of retouching what already existed, giving it more life and adding more details to the scars still visible on her skin, as they were very evident, even with the old tattoo.
In this way, the problem Cristina had been trying to solve for many years was satisfactorily resolved.
