Specialist cosmetic tattooing to help blend depigmented areas with your surrounding skin tone — approached with honesty, care and realistic expectations.
Vitiligo Camouflage is a specialist cosmetic tattooing technique used to visually blend depigmented patches of skin with the surrounding skin tone. Using carefully matched pigments and a precise layering technique, Kate works to restore a more even, natural-looking skin tone in areas affected by vitiligo — helping clients feel more confident in their skin.
Every case of vitiligo is different, and results vary depending on the size, location and nature of the affected area. During a consultation, Kate will assess your skin and discuss realistic expectations, a recommended approach, and an estimated number of sessions before any treatment begins.
Vitiligo camouflage uses cosmetic tattoo pigments custom-matched to your surrounding skin tone, applied in fine layers to recreate natural-looking texture and colour variation. Because skin tone can shift with the seasons, pigment choices and technique are tailored to give the most natural blend across different lighting and tanning levels.
Kate assesses the affected area, discusses your goals, and carries out a patch test to check pigment compatibility and colour match before any full treatment.
Custom-matched pigments are applied in fine layers to gradually build natural-looking coverage and texture, tailored to the size and location of the area.
Results settle over the following weeks. Depending on the area, further sessions may be recommended to refine coverage and colour match over time.

Because vitiligo camouflage is highly individual, session pricing and the number of sessions required are confirmed during your consultation following the patch test. Bookings and payments are securely handled via Fresha.
As with all cosmetic tattoo treatments, the treated area needs to be kept clean and protected from direct sun exposure while healing, with pigment settling to its true tone over the following weeks. Kate provides full written aftercare guidance after every session. For general guidance, see our complete aftercare guide.
Suitability depends on the size, location, and nature of the affected area, as well as individual skin response. A consultation and patch test are required before any treatment to assess this on a case-by-case basis.
This varies significantly depending on the size and location of the area being treated. Kate will give you a realistic estimate during your consultation.
Pigments are carefully matched to your surrounding skin tone, but because skin tone can shift with seasons and sun exposure, an exact match in all conditions isn't guaranteed. Kate will discuss this honestly during consultation.
Most clients find the sensation manageable, similar to other cosmetic tattoo treatments. Comfort levels can vary depending on the treatment area.
Like other cosmetic tattoo treatments, results are semi-permanent and will gradually soften over time. Touch-up sessions can help maintain the appearance.
