There are actually many factors that affect tattoos. Apart from the tattoo technique, the ink used, and other factors, there are actually many personal physical factors that can also cause various differences after tattooing or even after tattooing.
1、Tattoos near joints
Generally speaking, tattoos near joints, especially on the extended side (outside) of the joints, are more likely to produce concave and convex scars due to the continuous stretching and pulling of the skin under long-term joint movement. This characteristic may not be obvious during tattooing, but when removing tattoos, the stimulation to the skin is greater than when the tattoo was removed, so it is relatively easier to produce convex scars during tattoo removal.
The closer the scar is to the joint and the more frequently the joint is used, the higher the chance of it occurring.After all, the characteristics of each joint are different. According to our past experience, the joint area where tattoos are often performed is usually the one with the highest incidence of scars at the base of the thumb on the back of the palm. This may be because the base of the thumb joint is used frequently and has a larger range of motion. The proportion of convex scars on finger joints and tattoos on fingers is relatively low, which may be related to the larger range of motion of the joints.
2、Covering tattoos on scars
In addition, many people also use tattoos to cover various scars.For example, irregular contracture scars from burns, scars from various traumas, such as scars from surgery, knife wounds, abrasions, etc. However, since scars are formed by connective tissue repairing the injured part, just like the use of putty to fill the damaged sheet metal of a car, even if the surface is smooth and not obvious, it is after all a tissue of different material, so the effect of tattoo removal will definitely be different.
Anyone who has actual experience of getting a tattoo on a scar will know that because the connective tissue is different from normal, uninjured skin, there will be a certain difference in the color of the tattoo; and this difference will be even more obvious during tattoo removal treatment.The penetration of laser light will be significantly different in areas with obvious hypertrophy of connective tissue (for example, if a part with obvious hypertrophic scars is treated directly with vaporized fractional laser without other treatment methods, the treatment effect will be significantly worse than other parts). Therefore, in areas with relatively obvious scars, the difficulty of tattoo removal will increase significantly, not only will the number of times required increase, but the effect of each treatment will also be worse than that of scar-free areas under the same conditions.
Summarize
From the above, we can see that the difficulty of tattoo removal in some relatively special parts or parts with past scars will definitely be more complicated than that in general parts. After all, every person and every tattoo is unique. If you want to achieve the best treatment effect, you will need a certain amount of time and patience, as well as good communication and cooperation with the doctor. The doctor who treats you can find the most suitable treatment method for each tattoo during each treatment!
