Can I get a tattoo on a scar?

The existence of scars brings great damage to people's image, because the surface of scars is irregular and looks very disturbing. Therefore, most people with scars on their bodies hope to use some methods to remove the scars, but the effects of various methods vary. Let’s take a look at whether you can get a tattoo on a scar? I hope everyone will read the explanation

From a professional point of view, it is not possible. Considering the external environmental factors and the surgical facilities during tattooing, it is very likely that the original scar will be infected by adverse factors in the air during or after the tattooing process. If other things proliferate, it will affect the health and appearance of the body. It is recommended to go to a regular cosmetic surgery hospital. Nowadays, plastic surgery technology is advanced, and scar removal should be no problem. Moreover, some regular cosmetic surgery hospitals now also have tattoo projects.

Before you start covering your scars, you need to know these things first.

1. How long has the scar been there? --Before using a tattoo to cover a scar, the scar should be at least one year old. New scars that are still red or pink are not suitable for tattoos. If you must get a tattoo on such a scar, it will be a very painful thing. New scars are very repellent to tattoo pigments. Therefore, getting a tattoo on them is a waste of time and money. Therefore, my advice is not to use a tattoo to cover new scars. Wait at least one year. The older the scar, the easier it is to cover it with a tattoo.

2. Consult a doctor - If you really want to use tattoos to cover scars and can endure the pain of the entire tattoo process, the next step is to consult a doctor about the relevant situation. Because your doctor may know more, he or she will tell you the medical measures involved in the entire tattoo process and will provide the best advice. He or she will also tell you which tattoo artist has successfully performed scar coverage on other patients, so you will know which tattoo artist is most suitable for tattoo coverage. However, if the final doctor tells you that tattoo coverage cannot be performed due to medical reasons, then it is best to consider it again.

3. Consult a good tattoo artist - If your doctor tells you that there is no problem with tattoo covering, then the next step is to consult a good tattoo artist. Because it's important to make sure the tattoo artist knows exactly what they are doing, especially when dealing with a particularly complex scar. Ask them if they have ever done scar coverage before. If they say they have, ask them to show their relevant tattoo works. Many tattoo artists will have photos of their scars before and after coverage. By looking at their photos, you can judge the quality of their tattoo coverage technology, and you can also clearly see the difference before and after coverage.
