Frequently asked
How soon after a scar forms can I tattoo over it?
Wait at least 12 months from the scar's formation. Tissue is still settling before then. Some scars (keloids) may never tattoo well.
What styles work for scar cover-ups?
Watercolor, fine line botanical, and realistic blending all work well. Avoid bold-line block work that emphasizes the scar's edge.
Should I see a specialist?
Yes — find an artist with experience in scar cover-ups. The technique differs from standard tattooing.
