Thanks for the answer. Well i did the tattoo on monday so three days passed. I cant stay still… but i’ll try not to sweat to much until the end of the first week.

First part is over.
In couple of weeks he’ll finish the flame with the yellow colour. And shading ofcourse.

That would be great. Do you have an example?

A couple things to keep in mind when you want to tattoo over a scar; The scar should be at least a year old, preferably even more. This is to ensure that the skin has healed properly over it, if it still gets red, it’s not healed enough. I’ve had surgery scars tattooed over, one was no problem at all, but the other one I did have trouble with right after the surgery (my sutures broke and I got nerve damage due to an infection in the wound), now that scar on the other hand…. Hell on earth. It’s been 6 years and the skin is still far too fragile to properly hold a tattoo, not to mention it hurts so horribly bad over the spots with nerve damage :p

And, if it’s a keloid scar. If it stands out etc it will be harder to tattoo over, again, it depends on the scar.

Hard to tell on yours due to the low quality of the picture, but I think you should be fine.

Hey, thanks for you post.

I had surgery 3-4 years ago. The scar is really flat as said already, but it becomes red under the sun ofcourse, but i guess that’s normal.
Now i’m looking what to put on. It’s a awkward place to put a tattoo. The scar is a little of bit oval so i might put a banana or something 🙂 (kidding).
