Scar Camouflage, Stretch Mark Revision, and Paramedical Tattooing in Cincinnati
Skin revision designed for healing, confidence, and beautifully natural results.
Our paramedical tattoo services offer a gentle, effective way to soften the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and areas of pigment loss. Each session is customized for your skin tone, history, and goals, blending clinical precision with artistry to restore confidence in your skin.
What is it?
At node & needle, paramedical tattooing is performed with clinical precision and artistic detail. Whether your concern is texture, tone, or both, we offer advanced solutions that create natural-looking results while honoring your unique skin.
Our Founder is a certified paramedical tattoo artist trained with Dr. Cecilia Rusnak, Nue Conceal, and an artist with SagePro Elite. She has advanced continuing education in 3D areola restoration, belly button tattooing, vitiligo camouflage, wrinkle treatment, skin tightening, and inkless scar and stretch mark revision.
Every treatment is customized to your skin type, scar characteristics, and personal goals. Our work is set apart by the use of specialized tattoo techniques and customized needle configurations designed specifically for scar tissue with a level of precision that microneedling cannot match.
Results you can see and feel.
for Scars or Stretch Marks with Texture
Raised, indented, or uneven skin can feel distracting or uncomfortable, even when the color blends in with surrounding tissue.
The solution? Inkless Revision
Inkless scar and stretch mark revision uses a tattoo machine without pigment, paired with a medical-grade serum, to stimulate your body’s natural healing response.
Using specialized tattoo techniques and specific needle configurations, thicker or textured scar tissue can be gently broken up, allowing natural remodeling to occur for a smoother final result. This process encourages new collagen and elastin production, helping the skin become softer, more even, and more resilient over time. Improvements develop gradually, with visible changes in both texture and overall appearance.
for Scars or Stretch Marks with Dark Color
Some scars and stretch marks remain red, purple, or darker than the surrounding skin, even long after they’ve healed.
The solution? Inkless Revision
Using a tattoo machine with a medical-grade serum, inkless revision promotes healthy cell turnover and improved microcirculation in the treated area.
We use specialized tattoo techniques and customized needle configurations to work precisely within the scar tissue, encouraging the skin to gradually normalize in color. Over time, this process helps soften the contrast between the mark and surrounding skin while also improving texture, tone, and overall resilience.
for Flat, White Scars
Flat scars that have turned white (or a lighter shade than your natural skin tone) can create a stark contrast against the surrounding skin, even when the texture is smooth.
The solution? Scar Camouflage
Scar camouflage uses custom-blended pigments matched to your natural skin tone to visually blend the scar into the surrounding area. We use specialized tattoo techniques and customized needle configurations to deposit pigment evenly into the scar tissue, creating a seamless transition between scar and skin.
This method is best for scars that are at least one year old, fully healed, and stable in color. The result is a softer, more uniform appearance that looks natural in everyday light.
Our approach to scar camouflage and stretch mark revision
Every service begins with a consultation to assess:
Skin tone and texture
Type and age of scar/stretch mark
Readiness for inked vs. inkless treatment
​
Many clients begin with inkless revision to flatten and brighten the skin before moving to pigment-based work. You’ll receive a clear plan with realistic expectations, session timelines, and aftercare support.
What to expect
Sessions are private, unhurried, and designed to support both physical and emotional healing. Most clients report minimal discomfort, typically under a 4 on a 10-point scale due to low nerve sensitivity in scar tissue.
After your session, we provide:
High-quality aftercare products
Healing guidance and check-ins
Support with tracking visible results over time
To ensure best results:
Scars/stretch marks must be fully healed and at least 12 months old
Camouflage treatments require flat, light-toned skin
Inkless revision may be needed first to prepare raised or pigmented areas
