Your skin. Your story. Your choice.
You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your scars. If you’d like to cover them with a tattoo, we’re here to help you feel comfortable and confident in your skin again.
At OEK Factory in Berlin-Mitte, we specialise in scar cover-up tattoos: we tattoo over scars with individual designs that work with your skin and reflect your style.
We approach every scar with care, sensitivity and no judgement. Share as much or as little of your story as you feel comfortable with.
Every scar is unique. That’s why we look at yours first, and tell you honestly what’s possible.
Send us a photo of your scar, privately via WhatsApp or through our form.
We check whether your scar is ready and suitable for tattooing. In person at the studio, if needed.
We show you what’s possible and develop the design with you. No pressure.
Your artist tattoos your piece, calmly and with as many breaks as you need.
Usually once it has fully healed: flat or only slightly raised, no longer red and no longer tender to the touch. For many scars that takes around a year, sometimes longer.
We’ll look at your scar and tell you honestly whether now is the right time or whether it’s worth waiting. For fresh, raised or growing scars, such as keloids, please check with a doctor first.
Many: surgery and C-section scars, accident and burn scars, self-harm scars, and stretch marks too. What matters is that the scar has healed. Whether and how it works for yours, we’ll tell you once we’ve seen a photo.
No. Share as much or as little as you like. For the design, what matters is the placement, the size and how the skin feels, not the story behind it.
A tattoo can cover a scar very well or work it into the design. The texture of the skin stays, though, and may show in certain light. We’ll tell you beforehand what’s realistic.
It varies. Scar tissue can be more sensitive, while some areas feel almost numb. We work at your pace, and breaks are always fine.
Scar tissue often takes ink differently from untouched skin. That’s why we choose the design and technique to suit your scar, and plan a second session for touch-ups if needed.
It depends on the size, the design and the work involved. In the free consultation you’ll get an honest price range.
Your photos stay with us. We only show before-and-after pictures with your explicit consent.
Or book a consultation to explore what’s possible. We’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
