Tattooing over scar tissue

Hi guys,

I'm sure that at some point this subject has been covered before, but I just
found this group, and not sure how to search the archives (if there is one).
So please forgive me in advance, and if there are archives, please point me
to where I'll gladly go through the information.

I have a 20" scar that I am going to be covering with a tattoo that was
drawn for me by an artist. The tattoo artist is in NJ, Keyport (FatKat).
I've seen their work, and picked the tattoo artist who's work I fell in love
with. It will take him approximately 4 hours to complete the coverage.

My concern is however, how will the tattoo take to the scar. The scar is
over 3 years old and I'm fair skinned, it's flat and is a straight line.
Have any of you experienced scar coverage and if so what is your experience.
Any feedback is greatly welcomed.

usenet isn't a "board," and we're happy to help people when they don't
ask questions they could easily answer themselves.

do your research. talk to your tattoo artist.

I have seen scars tattooed over and they usually aren't a problem, as long
as they're older and not raised too much. They can't be completely
hidden(usually) but can be worked into the design.

Shut up, idiot. Thanks.

Queen, when you say "questions they could easily answer themselves,"
does that include what to do with tattoos on earlobes? Because, you
know, that was something you could have probably figured out on your
own, right? Whatever. I was glad to assist and didn't see the need to
tell you to effing google it (your typically lisheep response).

Entertainment?

Hey, will you be incorporating the scar as a part of the tattoo or are
you trying to hide it? Duh, I guess "I have a 20" scar that I am going
to be covering with a tattoo" indicates that you're attempting to,
yeah, COVER the scar.

I have scars on my left forearm and a pretty decent one on my right
forearm as well. Alcohol am sto0pit. (Or at least it helps bring out
the seriously stupid in some of us.) Anyway, I've often thought of
creating a tattoo where the scar would be the focus rather than act as
camouflage.

I'm a comic book fan, so something like Wolverine on my forearm
tearing into it. If I was more of a Universal monsters fan then a
portrait of Frankenstein strategically placed over/around the scar on
my right forearm so it would appear on his forehead or neck? That'd be
rockin'. Okay, okay, dork alert!

I should have phrased it clearer. There will be coverage of the scar, there
will also be parts where the vine will go around the tattoo and *incorporate
the scar* into the artwork.

I don't see this as a dorky act at all :).

Thank you for the feedback.

At least I'm not one of the losers who has nothing better to do than
wallow in this cesspool of a group. Love the irony.

Hi Marie, and thank you for the reply,

No the scar isn't raised it's flat and for the most part straight, a result
of a surgery.

I found a bit more information in the links previously provided here as well
as another group which was
able to provide further information.

Thank you again
