Skin & Shades Studio, a new establishment specializing in paramedical and camouflage tattooing, has officially opened its doors in San Joaquin County. The studio, located in Stockton, held its ribbon-cutting ceremony on Sunday, marking a significant step forward in the field of permanent makeup and restorative care.
Paramedical tattooing is an advanced technique designed to camouflage scars, stretch marks, and skin discoloration by applying skin-colored pigments. This innovative approach is revolutionizing the world of permanent makeup, offering individuals a powerful tool for restoring physical integrity and supporting psychological recovery after trauma. In addition to camouflaging imperfections, paramedical tattoo artists at Skin & Shades Studio can recreate the appearance of certain body parts using realism techniques. One of the most impactful applications is the creation of 3D areola tattoos, particularly meaningful for breast cancer survivors. These tattoos help restore not only physical appearance but also a sense of confidence and wholeness for those who have undergone mastectomies or other reconstructive surgeries.
"Many people wear their scars proudly to remember their journey, but in many cases, scars can be negative reminders of traumatic events, or they may leave someone feeling different," said Jennie Rodriguez, owner of Skin & Shades Studio. "I wanted to provide a unique service that helps restore someone's confidence."
Rodriguez emphasized that paramedical tattooing represents a new frontier in both cosmetic and restorative care, providing individuals with an opportunity to reclaim their appearance and, in many cases, their emotional well-being.
Jennie Rodriguez, who founded Skin & Shades Studio, holds certificated training in various aspects of paramedical tattooing, including camouflage tattooing, dark scar neutralization, stretch mark/scar revision, and areola tattooing. She is a licensed tattoo artist in San Joaquin County and also possesses a master's degree in health administration.
Skin & Shades Studio offers a transformative service in a setting that resembles a spa environment. Licensed by the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department, the studio provides treatments such as the revision of scars and stretch marks using pigments and healing serum, skin-color camouflage of scars, stretch marks, and discolorations, neutralization of dark scars, and 3D areola tattooing. These treatments can be applied to scars from various sources including burns, surgeries, injuries, acne, self-harm, and former drug injection use.
Located at 37 W. Yokuts Ave., Suite B, Studio 5, Stockton, CA, inside Sola Salons, Skin & Shades Studio is part of a building that houses small independently owned salons and studios. For more information, visit www.SkinShadesStudio.com.
