Tattoo FAQ

What to do if there is a mole on the part of the body where the tattoo is planned?

One thing for sure: do not over-tattoo! Under unfavorable circumstances, moles can develop into so-called malignant melanomas, i.e. skin cancer. In most cases, however, you can often tell whether a mole is benign or malignant by its shape, color and borders - only if it is tattooed over is it of course no longer possible to examine it for these criteria.

As already mentioned: moles should never be tattooed over! Ideally, you should even leave a margin of about one millimeter between the tattooed skin and the mole so that you can observe the border of the mole.

Depending on the design, the template can also be applied in such a way that moles are outside the tattoo.

Another way to avoid mole stress is to have annoying pigmentation spots removed by a dermatologist in advance. The annoying pigmentation can be removed with a round scalpel during a short, outpatient operation. This should be done several months before the tattoo appointment to ensure complete healing of the affected skin area.
