--TATTOOING OVER SCARS--

After an accident or surgery,an unsightly scar may remain.Once it has fully healed(12 months)a scar can be effectively concealed by a tattoo.The tattooing process is the same as for any other area of the body,although the colored inks may need acouple of sessions to become fully established and outlines may appear abit blurred than they would on undamaged skin.Some people who have had such a tattoo have shared with me a feeling of empowerment and feeling beautiful again.

Check with your physician if the scar you wish to cover is pink in color or is sore or painful in any way.If so,this scar may still be healing and it is unwise to tattoo it at this stage.You should wait at least 12 month after a scar has occured before attempting to cover it with a tattoo.Also check with your physician whether a keloid,or raised area of scarring,is suitable for tattooing.
