Is it a good idea to get a tattoo on a mole? This is a very common question among those who are going to have their first tattoo or who are thinking of going through a tattoo studio. Tattooing moles is not a good idea. Although moles are very common, since most people have between 10 and 40 moles, there are always doubts about it.
We must bear in mind that moles are growths on the skin. They occur when pigment-producing cells in the skin, called melanocytes, grow in clumps. The experts, when asked about the question of tattooing moles, are very clear. It is important that tattoos avoid mole areas, or on top of them. The reasons for this are quite clear.
Experts in dermatology point out that tattoo ink can prevent you from seeing whether the moles are normal or not, or if they are indicative of melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer. The benefits are minimal with respect to the damages that tattooing moles can have. Yes, the tattoo may not look as good but it is important to take into account the risks involved in this practice.
The tattooists with a minimum of rigor always they will advise their clients that it is important not to tattoo on moles. This is where the ability of tattoo artists to "integrate" the mole into the design itself or to capture the tattoo so that it is not necessary to inject ink into the mole area comes into play.
I used to have a mole on my face that I loved, but they had to remove it for health reasons. Now I only have a small, almost imperceptible scar. I would like to know if it is possible to tattoo a replica of my mole right there.
Thank you.
