A cesarean scar is not a simple mark on the skin; It's much more than that. It is the signal that has left the birth of your baby and that sometimes removes very deep feelings in women who have given birth in this way.
There are women who perform tattoos on the caesarean section scar, either because they want to hide it or, on the contrary, because they consider it a way to embellish it and pay homage to their motherhood. Or maybe, why not, for both.
Hide it or beautify it?
Behind every cesarean scar there is a powerful story. Happy stories, and unfortunately also sad stories, but stories always marked by the great power of the birth of a human being.
Most of the time it is done in a transverse or horizontal cut because it is the most resistant scar and the least damaged. For aesthetic reasons, the cut is below the bikini line.
Although the vertical cut is discouraged because it cuts more fibers, there are times when it should be done in this way, for example when there is a placenta previa or when it is necessary to remove the baby as quickly as possible.
A way to reconcile with the brand and heal the wound
There are women who do not like their scar because it is very visible or they have no positive feeling towards the brand, and they turn to the tattoo to reconcile with it and see it as a work of art. They want turn a brand that produces pain in something beautiful and symbolic.
There is great debate on this matter, since there are those who believe that women should learn to love their scarbut the truth is that It is a very personal process. Each mother is free to choose the way she wants to reconcile with her scar, with or without tattoo.
When can you get the tattoo?
You must wait at least one year from the birth of your baby so that the skin is well healed and healthy.
It is recommended that you consult with the doctor or tattoo artist beforehand in case there is any problem in tattooing directly on the scar. In that case, as reported in the shop of specialized tattoos Logia Barcelona "you can make a drawing that complements the scar", although you have to think more carefully what to tattoo and how to integrate it so that it is equally beautiful and special.
The tattoo on a scar it can be more painful because the tissue is even more sensitive, so you should also consider it when making the decision.
Of course, if you are going to do it make sure it is a site with a good reputation and with all the necessary hygiene and safety guarantees.
