Colour Correction

Colour Correction is a specialized cosmetic procedure aimed at restoring or altering the colour of tattoos that have discoloured or faded over time. This treatment is particularly effective for tattoos that have developed a blueish hue. Over time, tattoo pigments can break down due to factors like sun exposure, skin type, and the quality of the original tattoo, causing a change in colour. In such cases, colour correction can help to revive the tattoo's appearance. The procedure involves the application of different pigment colours to neutralize or override the discolouration. If a tattoo has turned blue, for example, a professional may use orange or red pigments to counterbalance the blue tones. In some cases, they may also use a technique called 'tattoo over,' which involves applying a skin-toned pigment over the old tattoo to soften its appearance before adding new colour. The goal of colour correction is not just to cover up the faded tattoo, but to work with it to create a renewed, more appealing aesthetic. It requires a deep understanding of colour theory, as well as skilled application techniques, to ensure that the new pigments blend seamlessly with the old tattoo and the surrounding skin. As every tattoo and person is unique, it's crucial to consult with a professional who can assess the state of your tattoo and devise a personalized colour correction plan. It's important to note that some tattoos may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results, and certain colours and pigments may not be entirely correctable.
