I always come back to this healed facelift camouflage before and after. 1 restorative needling session, followed by 3 camouflage pigment sessions spaced 6 weeks apart is what contributed to the above before and after.

I really am so deeply grateful for the trust and expression I am able to have with my clients and this line of work.

Colour matching is where every pigment camouflage treatment begins. Prior to tattooing, we mix and test shades directly beside the scar in natural light so we can see how each one sits against the client’s own skin.

The next two slides explain what we’re actually looking for when we do this, and why it shapes the way we tattoo.



When we assess skin we’re looking at two things; overtone vs undertone. The overtone is the surface colour you notice first, how light or deep the skin is, while the undertone is the hue sitting underneath it, which can be warm, cool, neutral or olive.

Scar tissue often loses some of both, which is why it can look pink, white or silvery against the surrounding skin. If we only matched the overtone, the treated area could heal looking flat or ashy, so getting the undertone right is what allows it to blend back in with the skin around it.

This photo was taken straight after treatment, so the redness you can see is completely normal and settles as the skin heals. Rather than trying to achieve the final colour in one appointment, we build on the base value noting overtone gradually over multiple sessions.

Pigment softens as it settles into the skin, and working this way means we can look at the healed result each time, adjust the shade if needed and keep the outcome natural and controlled.

“Titanium dioxide is bad” discourse is so tiring.

Titanium dioxide (CI 77891) is one of the most extensively studied pigments in use today. It is an inert, insoluble mineral pigment, the same one found in mineral sunscreens, and it forms the base of most skin tone pigments used in camouflage tattooing.

In paramedical work, it is not optional. Scar tissue often heals paler and denser than the surrounding skin, and titanium dioxide provides the light-reflecting base that allows a skin tone to hold over it.

Yes, it has limitations such as stability in structure, unforgiving when over-saturated, and it can darken under laser removal. But every one of these is known, explainable and avoidable.

When camouflage heals yellow, ashy or overly visible, the cause is almost always the colour match, saturation or depth, not the chemistry. Blaming an ingredient is easier than addressing a global gap in training.

If you are considering camouflage, ask your artist or educator:
• How is my colour match formulated?
• What level of saturation will you use?
• What depth does my skin require?

The negative discourse is tiring, the ingredient is not.

In paramedical work, it is not optional. Scar tissue often heals paler and denser than the surrounding skin, and titanium dioxide provides the light-reflecting base that allows a skin tone to hold over it.

Yes, it has limitations being it is highly stable, it is unforgiving when over-saturated, and it can darken under laser removal. But every one of these is known, explainable and avoidable.

When camouflage heals yellow, ashy or overly visible, the cause is almost always the colour match, saturation or depth, not the chemistry. Blaming an ingredient is easier than addressing a global gap in training.

If you are considering camouflage, ask your practitioner:
- How is my colour match formulated?
- What level of saturation will you use?
- What depth does my skin require?

There’s a trend going around called the opt out list (contrary to the opt in) where people are naming the beauty standard propaganda they’ve stopped falling for, so here is the paramedical tattoo edition from Resolute Repair’s perspective.

An opt out list of the lines this industry keeps repeating that I won’t be repeating to you.

Self-care looks different for everyone. Sometimes it's restoring colour to features that have faded. Sometimes it's enhancing what's already there so you feel more like yourself again.

This isn't about changing you. It's about supporting you in feeling confident in your own skin, whatever that looks like.
When you've spent years putting everyone else first, taking a few hours to prioritise yourself isn't silly. It's necessary.

If you'd like to learn more about lip blush reach out for a complimentary consultation.

As we close out this year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what this year has taught me about the work we do here.

Growing this year has meant aligning more deeply with what Resolute was founded on and stepping further away from the typical beauty and PMU landscape. Resolute is built on an unwavering commitment to self-confidence through tattoo. Not the kind of confidence that comes from chasing perfection, but the kind that's built on trust, integrity, and slow, intentional care.

Every consultation I do is mandatory because I genuinely want to educate each person who walks through my door. It's a complimentary 45 minutes of my time, whether you choose to book with me or not. You deserve to understand what's possible, what's realistic, and whether this is right for you.

I'm deeply conscious of motivation. In an age of escalating beauty standards and quick fixes, my role isn't to feed into that. It's to bring back your confidence naturally, to help you feel like yourself again, not someone else's version of perfect.

And integrity, always. I'll be the first person to tell you that results take time, money, and equal dedication from both of us. I'm the one asking you to wait for your skin to heal naturally between sessions, not rushing you back for more appointments. Your healing matters more than my calendar.

This isn't a back-to-back service model. This is careful, considered work that honours your story, and it's built on mutual respect. I value your time deeply and will continue to expect the same in return.

I'm holding these values close as we step into the new year, and I'm excited to bring some new changes that reflect them even more deeply.

To everyone who has stood by Resolute so far, thank you. Your trust means everything.

With warmth,

Demi.

Choosing the right camouflage artist can be tricky, but your consultation is your most powerful tool.

At the conclusion of your consultation you should feel informed and empowered to take the next step. Here are some suggestions on what to ask your artist:
1. Education matters. What training do they have, and how do they stay current? Techniques evolve, and your artist should too.
2. Understand their approach. Do they use inkless tattooing, strictly pigment, or a combination? Their aesthetic philosophy should align with your goals.
3. Transparency is non-negotiable. Ask to see real results, understand pricing upfront, and get realistic timelines.
4. Think long-term. Are they confident in how your results will look not just today, but 10 years from now?

The right artist won't rush you, instead they'll welcome every question, take time to walk you through their process, and help you understand what's realistic for your unique situation. They'll educate, not just sell - they'll listen to your concerns and respect your hesitations. This is a partnership, and the consultation is where you discover if it's the right fit.
