So I have debated for quite some time on tattooing over a scar I have. I found a great artist with 20+ years experience that has does this before. I have done research on here and I know it has been asked many times before about tattooing over a scar. Mine is over 20 yrs old, flat, not very red (except a spider vein), and the tattoo artist thinks is possible.

I have included pics so I can get advice on a few things.

A. Does this look like something that can be tattooed over?

B. I also want advice/ideas on a tattoo, I am pretty much set on a dragon. I’m thinking red and blue as main colors possibly with a background to add depth.

My first idea and I actually took the pic of a “fake tattoo” years ago was two dragons with their tails intertwined over my scar with them going out from the center but a symetrical style. I understand that the pic I have included with this fake tattoo is very flat, I would want more curvature in the dragons (I think the fake tattoo was designed for and arm).

My second idea is one dragon that starts out on my shoulder/arm area and goes across my chest with the head covering my scar.

What does everyone think? Advice? Suggestions? Thanks!

P.S. For some reason it is not letting me add any attachments, possibly I can start the thread and add them after…

Yeah it looks like it would be able to tattoo fine. The only problem with tattooing on a scar is that it doesnt hold ink as well so make sure the tattooist has done it MANY times.

I have a scar on my chest that was caused by a tattoo gone bad had had it re tattooed about six months after looks just fine you cant see the scar but you can still feel it.
