Tattoo over Scar

Can you get a tattoo over a scar? That depends on various factors, such as the type and depth of the scar, whether the nerves are damaged, and if the person is prone to keloid. Scar tissue can be tattooed, but it may react differently compared to regular skin tissue. The ink might not hold the same way, and the lines may not be as defined as on the surrounding skin. It's also worth noting that tattooing over a scar can be more sensitive and may require multiple sessions. Ultimately, the decision to tattoo over a scar should be based on the unique situation and the recommendation of a dermatologist. In some cases, like the one mentioned, the scar can be masked by creating a design that takes into account the scar's position and the movement of the muscles. In this particular case, a Japanese Tattoo Style was chosen, specifically a Koi Tattoo. The first session has been completed, and there will be more updates to come at Bardadim Tattoo in NYC.
