========================

Mark Bertram, 46, lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It’s life-changing but it’s not life-ending,” he says. “Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.”

46歲的馬克·伯特倫在2018年工作時失去了兩根手指的指尖，當時他的手被風扇皮帶夾住了。他說：「這改變了我的人生，但並非終結人生。現在工作變得更難了，一切都有些許不同。」

    After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking EricCatalano, an auto-finance manager turned tattoo artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in thestudio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink TattooStudio in Illinois. “Everything turned from funny to ‘wow.’”

在經歷了兩次手術和職能治療之後，伯特倫選擇以更積極的態度面對自己的情況，他委託艾瑞克·卡塔拉諾，一位轉行成為紋身師的汽車金融經理，為他設計指甲紋身。起初，這個主意讓工作室裡的每個人都覺得好笑，直到他們親眼見到最終的成品。「氛圍徹底改變了，」卡塔拉諾從他位於伊利諾州的永恆墨水紋身工作室回憶道，「一切都從原先的玩笑心態變成了『驚奇』。」

     When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails that looked so real no one could believe their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world. The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical tattooing. Now people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop. They enter Eternal Ink looking for the artistic healing they saw online. Using flesh-toned inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients’ view of themselves.

當卡塔拉諾發布那張紋身照片時——一對逼真到令人難以置信的指甲——他根本沒想到這張圖最終會被全球數百萬人看見。這張爆紅的照片將40歲的卡塔拉諾推向了醫療紋身領域更深處。如今，那些因為疤痕而生活被嚴重影響的人們，甚至遠從愛爾蘭而來，只為造訪他的店。他們走進永恆墨水紋身工作室，尋求在網上看到的藝術性療癒。卡塔拉諾利用肉色墨水和針頭，徹底改變了客戶對自身的看法。

   Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, Mississippi, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. She underwent countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip. “Plastic surgery gave me no hope,” she says. “So I looked for other options.” She ultimately traveled six hours for a session with Catalano. He camouflaged Pollan’s lip scar,giving her back a piece of her confidence. “You don’t understand until you’ve been through it,” Pollan says. “It made me have a different outlook on life.”

32歲的萊斯利·波蘭是密西西比州牛津的一名訓犬師，她在2014年被一隻小狗咬傷臉部。她進行了無數次手術來修復唇上的疤痕。她說：「整形手術沒有給我任何希望。所以我尋找其他選擇。」她最終開車六小時前來與卡塔拉諾進行一次治療。卡塔拉諾隱藏了波蘭唇上的疤痕，讓她找回了一部分自信。波蘭說：「你沒有親身經歷過就無法理解。這讓我的生活有了不同的看法。」

    Using tattoos to blend in rather than stand out is a relatively new field, but it is growing, thanks in part to interest in cosmetic and plastic surgery. In fact, Americans spent more than $16.5 billion on cosmetic procedures in 2018. After tummy tucks, breast augmentations, and other procedures, some patients want to cover the scars that are a product of such operations.

運用紋身來融入（而非突出）是一個相對較新的領域，但它正在成長，部分原因是人們對美容和整形手術的興趣。事實上，美國人在2018年花費了超過165億美元在美容手術上。在腹部拉皮、隆胸和其他手術之後，一些患者希望遮蓋那些因手術而產生的疤痕。
