When camouflaging a light scar the artist is darkening the lighter scar to match the darker surrounding skin. This is done with a combination of diluted ink mixed to match the unique requirements of the client’s skin.  When addressing dark scars the artist is neutralizing/lightening the dark scar to reduce it’s prominence against the clients’ surrounding skin using specially formulated pigments to neutralize the dark appearance of the scars using principles of color theory.
