Question:
i have some very promenant scars on my arm that are so bad that i'm wearing bands to cover them 24/7,they are self induced, (but not happening anymore), and i wondered after trying lotions and potions, would a tattoo cover them. ive gotten away with d bands this far but the questions as to why i wear them all the time are getting more frequent and invasive. i'm not proud of them and need an alternative to wrist bands. help!!!
Answers:
laser treatment can be costly-but so can tattoo removal if the tattooing over the scar tissue doesnt hold- or fades and leaves a mess. tattooing over scars is a touchy issue with tattoo artists.some will automatically say no. just like most of them will not tattoo over moles-beauty marks.
tattooing over keloid scar tissue (raised scars) wont hold up 90% of the time. its uselss really.
your best bet is to shop around at your local shops and conversate with *experienced* tattoo artists about thier professionall views on it. and thier experiences tattooing over it.
you definitley do not want an artist tattooing over your fragile scar tissue if they have never done it before! it can just turn into a bigger mess sometimes.
