Wolf ’s experience with tattooing on atypical skin tissue
allows the artist to have the same comfort and skill as any
artist would with “regular” skin, however, Wolf recognizes
that a scar’s origin requires specific physical considerations.
“Scars and wounds can come from so many places. If
the scarring comes from a skin condition that I don’t have
enough education about, we need to discuss what it means
to go through a medical professional to find out whether
or not it is appropriate or safe to be tattooing,” explains
Wolf. Similar to the regular tattoo process, drawings and
designs remain the core creation of covering scars, but with
definite differences. With a textured skin, the perception
of the tattoo varies from one angle to another, therefore,
a coverage that features organics and nature figures will
result in more detailed coverage, because of the natural
imperfections such images contain. Wolf explains, “Nature
works well simply because we don’t notice scars the same
way as if it were, say, disrupting a word.”
Although challenging and more painful, scars tissue
coverage is “not unbearable by any means”, and where
creation meets uniqueness, Wolf offers clients the freedom
to set the consultation in the way that they want, in
respect for all individualities. At the heart of this shared
adventure and joint performance, communication and
understanding are key.
Intimate in its capacity as a shared experience, Wolf
