Scar Camouflage, Stretch Mark Revision, and Paramedical Tattooing in Cincinnati
Skin Revision. Lasting Confidence. Natural Results.
At node & needle, paramedical tattooing is designed to restore confidence through evidence-based skin restoration. Whether your concern is scars, stretch marks, or pigment loss, our treatments combine clinical precision with artistry to create results that look beautifully natural.
Available at our Milford and Terrace Park studios, these services provide gentle, effective options for improving texture, tone, and color balance while honoring your unique skin.
What is it?
Paramedical tattooing uses advanced tattoo techniques to improve the appearance and texture of healed skin. By addressing tone, texture, and pigment irregularities, we help restore a more uniform and natural appearance to areas affected by surgery, trauma, or rapid skin changes.
Our Founder is a certified paramedical tattoo artist trained with Dr. Cecilia Rusnak, Nue Conceal, Terri Rice, and an artist with SagePro Elite. Advanced education includes vitiligo blending, wrinkle treatment, skin tightening, scar camouflage, and inkless scar and stretch mark revision.
Each treatment is customized for your skin type, tone, and goals. We use specialized tattoo techniques and custom needle configurations designed for scar tissue, achieving precision and control beyond what microneedling can provide.
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.

for Skin Affected
by Medical
Treatment or Aging
Skin that has undergone chemotherapy, radiation, or natural aging can develop dryness, fine lines, uneven tone, or visible pigment changes. These shifts often occur where the skin has lost elasticity or healthy circulation.
The solution? Inkless Rejuvenation
Inkless skin rejuvenation uses a tattoo machine without pigment to gently stimulate the skin’s natural renewal process. This technique targets areas of visible change such as fine lines, hyperpigmentation, or mild laxity, helping to smooth and refine the skin’s surface over time.Each session is customized for your comfort and skin condition, using advanced paramedical tattoo methods designed for delicate or compromised tissue. The result is softer, more radiant skin that looks refreshed and balanced while respecting your natural healing rhythm.
Our approach to scar camouflage and stretch mark revision
Each service begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess:
Skin tone and texture
Type and age of scar or stretch mark
Readiness for pigment versus inkless treatment
Many clients start with inkless revision to flatten and brighten tissue before transitioning to pigment work. You will receive a customized plan with session recommendations, realistic expectations, and complete aftercare guidance.
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
