Can I Cover Scars With Tattoos

SCAR COVER Up: roofing a scar with a tattoo
here's everything you demand to know

aye, It'south truthful, tattoos are quite invasive only dermatologists, as well, are starting to recommend this practice

even if they invade a torso by tearing its skin and permanently place pigments into the skin – and this could sound bad

considering cosmetic surgery can't always work miracles
because a tattoo is cheaper than surgery
because a tattoo is less invasive than surgery, anyhow

actually, tattoos come and assistance who, for some reason or other, has his body marked

a scar is always something aberrant, no matter how big or small, visible or not, it doesn't matter

it's an imperfection in a audio body
a distinctive feature that always attracts other people's attending
fifty-fifty unintentionally, even if they already know what this is all about

we call it "marvel" and human being is a fucking curious beingness

and so, even I – that I basically Beloved scars – I'thou attracted by them, my optics detect them straight abroad

of course, they are imperfections

and also our mind focuses on it, and the marvel increases

and who carries a scar knows it well

"HEY Y'all! My eyes are hither and not there!"
"look at my face up when you talk to me"
"what are we doing here? are we playing red light, green light? As soon as I turn around you stare at my scar?"
"I know…you are asking me which kind of job I accept but actually y'all'd similar to know why I have this scar"

curiosity…

and and so, even who, psychologically, overcame the trauma that brought the scar, he has to deal with other people'due south curiosity every 24-hour interval

"I'grand not just my scars…"

and what if that person has not yet overcome the trauma?
what if under that scar he sees that large emptiness that's hiding underneath?

or even worse, he lives that trauma again and again every fourth dimension he looks in the mirror?

I've heard hundreds of stories similar this…

that'south how I fell in love with SCAR COVER UP
falling in dear with the stories backside it
and and so falling for those glistening eyes that look in the mirror, in my studio, and for the kickoff time they look in the mirror and don't re-experience the trauma

for the first time, they don't meet all that'southward hidden behind

I fell in love with that outset time

LET'S GO! vamos, Information technology's a loooong story ^_^

Meridian QUESTION, here it is:

how soon can yous tattoo on height of a scar?

here is where I want y'all

THE Respond IS:
" nosotros demand to await a reasonable corporeality of time (at to the lowest degree iii-5 months) before the scar settles"

what does this hateful?
you accept to check the color of your scar, how it feels, if it still hurts and how much, if it still itches….this kind of stuff

the scar has a dissimilar evolving process and it's dissimilar for every wound, even on the same person
and for how long the scar remains active depends on your scar tissue but also on your pare elasticity and on the gravity of the wound or the trauma

it may accept from two months to 2 years

so there is not an accurate time, I cannot give you a perfect timing, just you can and y'all must keep an eye on your scar and judge it

every bit long as it is changing it'south not possible to get a tattoo for several reasons, such as:
● its color may change so the tattoo's colour in that surface area may be dissimilar from your salubrious skin, showing the scar
● its thickness may modify so the optical furnishings that will be required to cover the scar may look dissimilar
● just, almost of all, as long as the scar is evolving, if we invade information technology with a new injury, a very stiff reaction could exist triggered and the skin could react bad and create new keloid, reliefs, or cleft… completely! So, don't challenge it!

until your pare is quiet and calm, yous must leave it lone, just as soon as yous'll realize your scar is not active anymore – let a few months laissez passer, just to be safe – and so yous can peacefully get a tattoo ^_^

can all scars exist tattooed?

meanwhile… what is a scar?
"information technology is a desperate skin reaction to a big trauma"

and since at that place are several traumas that can drastically shock our skin, there are also dissimilar skin reactions to these ^_^

sometimes scars stay in relief, some others flatten out, others are hollow
sometimes they stay red, or turn white, or become brownish

then, can all scars be tattooed?
logically speaking, yep, BUT:

– first of all, information technology depends on your tattooist'due south experience and on his imagination on that project, perhaps 1 tattoo artist tin can practice information technology and another ane tin't

– scars that are besides much in relief or as well hollow may be hard to cover and if they are really as well much, maybe it'southward better not to do it

usually, equally far equally my experience is concerned, there are a lot of artful treatments that tin can improve the state of a scar without removing it completely, and that'south where the tattoo comes in ^_^

– another times, instead, it'south non worth trying because of the spot in which your scar is, perhaps it'south a weird and unusual spot and placing a tattoo there wouldn't be an aesthetical surplus for your torso, indeed, it would effect as something dumped there, and of course people will keep staring at y'all

very often in these cases, it is necessary to tattoo a wide expanse of body in guild for the scar to exist completely covered and even so have a overnice tattoo, so it'due south up to your whether yous're ready or not to have a big tattoo

tin stretch marks be tattooed?

of course!

stretch marks are considered small scars, not due to external injuries but mainly to internal body changes and they can be tattooed equally well ^_^ y'all yet have to take into consideration that the area could exist quite wide so a graceful and lovely squiggle would not be enough

which are the possible side effects of a tattoo on a scar?

equally we said, a scar is a strong skin reaction for a big trauma and I would like to tell you something…the skin has the retentiveness of an elephant

information technology never forgets anything

the skin is touchy

the risk of placing a tattoo where it has already been offended, is that she could go even more than offended

so, here's a big tip:
Selection A TATTOO Creative person THAT HAS A Low-cal Affect

it is necessary to tattoo carefully, with no blitz, giving the peel all the time it needs to accept the tattoo

if the tattooist has an heavy hand and he's in a hurry, it is very probable that the scar may have a bad reaction

anyway, in general, for all the rules well-nigh how to pick the perfect tattooist, the one that is right for you, I wrote a  VADEMECUM ^_^

what does it mean that a scar may react badly to a tattoo?

at all-time, it means that it doesn't accept the color or information technology accepts information technology only partially and everywhere around the scar you will take a good tattoo merely not on top of the scar ^_^ non nice

at worst, instead, the scar tin can reactivate and get worse, i.east. rising once more and increase in volume, starting a new flow of alter and product of collagenous and elastin fibers, with a probable increment of keloid ^_^ I wouldn't say prissy, either

and so, the large hint even so is: find a tattoo artist with a light touch, who is not in a hurry, merely who can devote plenty of time to this project and who has some experience on tattoos on scars

is a tattoo unlike on a scar than on good for you skin?

yes, the scar tissue is totally different from good for you skin
sometimes it's very hard and spongy, but most of the times it's very fragile and frail even if the underneath tissue is hard and spongy ^_^

a good hint is to start with a well detailed pattern of the tattoo so the tattooist knows exactly what to do on the scar and go on with a minimum number of passages

good for you peel tin handle a lot of passages, one on height of the other, in club to create different effects of color and details merely scar tissue is more frail and can handle just a few passages

then, an authentic design is a great help

does a tattoo on a scar injure more?

good news: in most cases, NO ^_^

scar tissue is still peel, a hard and thick layer of peel, not touched by blood vessels and non filled with receptors, every bit it usually is ^_^ so, in nigh cases, you will feel a large difference betwixt healthy peel and scar tissue, in a positive style ^_^

with 17 years of experience in this field, but i client felt more pain on his scar than on his good for you skin because he had a very deep scar, due to a gunshot in his side

so less than ane% by my own internal statistics ^_^

what happens while tattooing a scar?

cypher weird, I'd say ^_^
all normal, on the finished tattoo you can see something weird though

yes because scars aren't reached by blood equally healthy pare, so, while the surrounding peel turns cerise because of the tattoo, scars do non turn ruddy

so, equally soon as the tattoo is finished, scars may seem more showy than before

because they are white and shiny – and a picayune more than swollen than the healthy skin since they are more sensitive- while all around the skin is phosphorescent cherry-red ^_^

I should like to tell y'all this right away, earlier getting a tattoo, because if I don't warn yous and then you expect at your finished tattoo on the mirror and you lot freak out, you lot faint and you lot feel bad considering your dreams have just been crushed

no, don't worry, in a couple of days the whole area volition be soothed, the redness will be gone and the scar will disappear ^_^

is it necessary to embrace the whole scar with the tattoo?

not always, in fact, most of the times it is not necessary, here's an case:

what? can y'all non run across the uncovered scar?

EXACTLY! Your middle is stupid and remains enthralled by the start thing it sees

information technology doesn't get beyond the tip of our nose

(as I explained in the article Go A TATTOO WHERE You DON'T LIKE YOURSELF)

and then, sometimes you can cover a smaller surface area, leave behind some spots here and there, because no ane will NEVER detect it from the outside

NEVER

I swear

pinky promise

but you will

you know that at that place'southward a scar there, you know it well, past heart, even if you've e'er wanted to forget it, you know it perfectly

and you see it everywhere

even when information technology'due south totally covered

so, the choice is yours, you tin get out some spots hither and at that place to let prevail the aesthetics, the dynamic and the curviness of the tattoo, just if you can't stand to run into something that nobody sees just you lot, then fine, it's totally correct

and so you can encompass it completely ^_^

look at this picture:

it's merely the empty and schematic drawing of the future tattoo, but a few line tin already play a joke on your eye and make a big scar pretty much invisible ^_^

HERE'S A TIP, though:

over the years, you can always add together something to a tattoo, but you can't remove from it

So, if you're indecisive, start with a smaller tattoo and if a month or two afterward you are non happy with it, y'all can e'er go dorsum to the tattooist and add some details ^_^ tin't you?

does the healing of the tattoo changes for a SCAR Embrace Upwardly?

YES

yesyesyeeeeesssssssssss

it doesn't seem much just really you take to pay a fiddling more than attending

the pare is more than fragile and touchy, remember?

so you should devote more attention to brand sure it doesn't go offended

HERE is my Mail service TATTOO VADEMECUM with all the info about a proper tattoo healing

a BIG TIP that I give you lot is TO CLEAN YOUR TATTOO TWICE A DAY,rubbing it properly and loosen all the clusters of platelets

this really helps the healing

2nd TIP: use an elasticizing foam in addition to the moisturizing cream for the healing of your tattoo

y'all surely already know some elasticizing creams – does Rilastil ring a bong? – it'southward the same foam you used in the healing phase when y'all tried to flatten the scar as much equally you could, rubbing your scar twice a twenty-four hour period

If y'all pare subsequently the tattoo gets a little touchy and maybe thinks to develop some keloid, with these creams you volition help it to calm downwardly, this has the same effect as a bouquet of roses or a box of candy ^_^

finally, true but not always, Sun IS FORBIDDEN

as well as during the healing of your trauma

the sun may permanently stain the scar tissue, just like those night chocolate-brown scars, and we don't really want our skin to be stained, correct?

allow's say nosotros didn't wait that dark dark-brown color while designing our tattoo and that dark brown isn't besides an piece of cake color to cover

so, I'd say that if your scar is in an area of your body visible in the summertime, and then it's better to choose winter months to go a tattoo ^_^

usually summer and spring are the best seasons to go a tattoo, because your pare is much thicker and stronger during these seasons – you know how your hands turn into in wintertime, don't you? – but the lord's day is likewise a scar enemy

then, two options:

-if your scar is in a specially hidden spot and you're non a lizard, then getting a tattoo in spring or summer is great

-if you lot are a lizard, instead, and your scar is in a visible function of your body – like an arm, for example – then it's better to wait for autumn or winter

anyway, it's very likely that – compared to good for you pare – you may demand to go the tattoo on your scar touched up

because the healing is more frail

and your peel is more delicate

and scar tissue may heal in a different mode than healthy skin

then, don't panic if a calendar month later you lot volition notice a fiddling flaw, it tin can happen, we are humans and nosotros are unpredictable just like our skin ^_^

when is it possible to bear on up a tattoo on a scar, if necessary?

after 6 weeks, it would be the all-time moment

non earlier because the skin might nonetheless be also fragile to handle a second invasion

non later because the skin may settle also much and the colors – even though we'll be using the same ones – could appear different in a post healing phase

I don't know if I fabricated myself clear, here's an instance:

imagine that y'all'll go two identical black t-shirts and you'll hang them exterior exposed to all kinds of weather, sun, pelting, etc.… but within a week of each other

obviously, the t-shirts would always turn out differently, time goes by and y'all can never catch upwardly

as everything else in life, by the mode ^_^

are there blemishes that can be seen in a postal service tattoo stage?

obviously, there are

scar reliefs or hollows obviously aren't covered by a tattoo

in that location are lots of optical effects that somehow hide them, but if yous expect at information technology in backlight, from the side, well, yous will notice them!

the volumes remain unaffected, so from a certain perspective you'll always exist able to meet them

but : PIUTTOST CHE GNITA 50'Due east' MEI PIUTTOST, NO?

every bit my grandma used to say speaking our local dialect: anything is improve than nix, isn't it?

then, if the 80-90% of the imperfections are covered, and only some of them stay, isn't it better than earlier?

I don't know, of course you're the ones who have the final say, case to example, psychology to psychology

but if the scar is very sunken or a lot in relief

then it's ameliorate not to cull these practices

tattoos tin't piece of work miracles

then if the pattern of the scar has deep book changes, messed up ups and downs, instead of improving, the situation could get worse making a mess and attracting other people's eyes on it

my tip? look for a good tattooist, someone with a lot of experience and that you trust and ask for an advice, then ask advices to other tattoo artists – e'er look for experts, scoundrels will e'er tell you that something is impossible, if they don't know how to practise it

THE Terminate.

it'south the end of technical stuff, but….

There'south another question that has no reply:

WHAT WOULD You SUGGEST TO COVER MY SCAR?

in this example, a tattooist cannot answer you offhand, with a picture show sent through social networks

Starting time OF ALL: choice the tattooist that you similar, someone you really trust and that you know he tin can surely do something yous like to satisfy you

read my article – if you oasis't washed it still fifty-fifty if I have already recommended it to you – to observe and choose the best tattoo creative person

look at his pictures, randomly pick 10 of them, similar the last ten, and remember of how many of them y'all like

iv-6-8-all of them?!?!?!

so yous'll know how many chances he has to make you happy ^_^

and once you've chosen the tattooist…trust him/her

tell him/her your story, what you desire to tell with your tattoo and together y'all will spend hours trying to figure out what and how to tattoo and define all the technical details

retrieve almost what you want to tattoo, not what the tattoo would comprehend, because it'due south the tattoo artist's job to figure out how to use what you like to cover your scar ^_^

that's what I'd do

that's what I actually do with my clients ^_^

I spend hours and hours chit-chatting before starting designing and I define every technical particular before starting tattooing

and don't ever forget:

Yous DIDN'T SIGN Whatever CONTRACT

If y'all go to the studio and everything is ready, but you're not ready for it, you lot can always say no

"no, I don't experience like information technology, I'm scared"

covering a scar with a tattoo can really modify your life

the majority of scars that are covered by a tattoo are psychological rather than physical and they are invisible to the eye

so, don't exist afraid to say no if you feel that it is non the correct time

and on the other manus don't be afraid to bound, changes can be beautiful as well ^_^

anyway, here's an useful article that volition help yous deciding what to tattoo: WHY Exercise You TATTOO?

ok, now we really are at the end

do you take any other questions I haven't answered?

write me ^_^

with love, but always mocking

Lady Sara

mail scriptum: in case I was the tattooist you take chosen to cover your scar, hither yous tin can observe all the info
