i have a small cluster of faded stretchmarks on the right side of my lower belly (pregnancy)14 yrs ago, i love to wear hipsters and my stomach is toned but am slightly conscious of them, ive recently thought of having a tatoo there to cover them. Will this cover well? are there any problems covering stretch marks? There not deep just shiny!!!!

Hi there. I just had a tattoo done on Friday to cover my stretch marks and it looks amazing. I had just 4 light stretch marks on each side of my belly (about 3" long each) and I can barely see them at all now. I will say that it was the most painful thing I have ever done. I have 3 other tattoos including a very large piece on my lower back and having my belly done was by far the worst one to have done. Well worth the pain, though. I suggest going with a busy design...I had vines done on my belly. It is a pretty big tattoo and took about 3 hours, but I love it.

I HAVE STRETCH MARKS ALL OVER MY BODY AND THEY ARE REALLY DEEP AND BROWN SINCE I AM BLACK. I DID HAVE A PERIOD WHERE I HAD THE ROLLERCOASTER DIETS WHERE I WOULD LOSE WEIGHT THEN GAIN IT BACK. I USED COCOA BUTTER FOR A PERIOD OF 2 MONTHS AND I HAVE NOT SEEN --ANY--RESULTS. I LEARNED FROM A TRUTHFUL PERSON ON A STRETCH MARK SITE THAT THESE CREAMS DON'T WORK. DON'T BE FOOLED LIKE ME. I SUGGEST A DOCTER'SOPINION OR USE MERDEMA A GOOD STRETCH MARK CREAM RECOMMENDED BY DOCTERS. SO REMEMBER COCOA BUTTER DOES NOT WORK. THANK YOU.

Cocoa Butter DOES work. your skin is either too badly damaged or you gave up too soon! everyone i know says it works and so do i. try getting a laser skin peel like for removing wrinkles and tattoos.

Actually, cocoa butter is very good for preventing stretch marks, because it is such a good moisturizer, but beyond that, it should be known that it can't fade stretch marks, just prevent.

I am a girl of 17 years old I was obese when i was younger and lost alot of weight due to bullying this finally made me more confident but not the fact that i was covered in stretch marks, did not make me happy. My back is the worst as I have to always keep it covered and my Arms, so i cant wear short sleeved tops.

i have stretchmarks, they never go red or purple or whatnot but they look like scars. they are awful and i am getting the point where i am going to top myself. i feel as if i cant go out anymore. they are on my boobs which i can only notice at the moment but i know as soon as i gain weight they will go deeper. i use baby oil to moisturise they day and night. it is on my mind all the time. please help me find a cure so they will completely disappear. if they dont go i will kill myself, they are ruining my life

when i was about 12, i went through the " chubby stage". i then began to get stretch marks on my " love handles", thighs, and under my arms. it made my life so hard. I'm so self conscious about them. I'm now 15, and i haven't works a bikini since i was about 8 years old, i don't even want to wear tank tops out the house because of them. its ruined my life. i think I'm going to start saving money so i could get laser surgery . i cry almost every night because of these stupid stretch marks..
