Vitiligo Camouflage vs Regular Tattoo Myths: skin-tone matching is not decorative ink
Friends say “just tattoo over it.” Decorative black/grey ink and custom skin-tone camouflage are different goals. Vaughan clinic. 437-475-2757.
Decorative tattoo logic fails here
Cover-up art hides with darker or busier design. Vitiligo goals are quieter colour match.
Depth, pigment, and healing differ
Paramedical colour matching aims for soft blend under daylight — not graphic saturation.
Real results and real moments
Artist skill is not interchangeable
Ask for healed vitiligo or hypopigmented scar galleries, not only sleeve portfolios.
SKINEAV framing

Laser off later?
Removal is hard — assume long-term commitment.
How do I find out if camouflage suits my vitiligo?
