This lovely client came to us with a very special project! 🌸
She wanted to find a way to mask the scars on her stomach, so together we decided on a floral composition that follows the natural curves of her body.
The idea wasn’t to make the scars completely disappear, but to draw attention to the flowers instead.
So, can you tattoo over scars?
Yes! But there are a few important things to know before getting started.
Scars need time to heal.
We can’t tattoo over fresh scars. They need to be fully healed and mature, which often takes years, sometimes longer. The scar should no longer be changing in colour, texture or appearance.
Not every scar can be tattooed.
It depends on the type of scar, its depth, thickness and how the skin has healed. Some scars are flat, while others are raised or have an uneven texture. Each one needs to be assessed individually before tattooing. This is why we have free consultations available!
The healing process can be different, too.
After tattooing, the scars may temporarily become more raised, red or swollen. This doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong! Scar tissue can take longer to settle, sometimes several weeks or more.
A tattoo can mask scars, but it can’t erase them.
The texture of the scars will remain, but a carefully planned design can help make them less noticeable. Instead of focusing on the scars, your eyes are naturally drawn to the tattoo.
This project is still in progress, with one side left to finish, but we already love how it’s coming together!
Do you have scars you’d like to incorporate into a tattoo? Come for a consultation, and we’ll be happy to discuss what’s possible!
