Cover a scar with a tattoo It is, for quite some time, one of the main reasons that leads some people to go through a study to mark some type of design on their body. Instead of resorting to other methods such as cosmetic surgery or any other equally expensive alternative, many people see tattoos and body art as a valid option to hide, or directly cover, a scar.
But, despite this unstoppable boom that the tattoos designed to cover scarsThere are those who have doubts about the possible risks or inconveniences that tattooing on a scar has. Obviously, the skin does not have the same characteristics compared to the rest of the body. Let's say "it's different." However, What do professionals say about it? Covering a scar with a tattoo has always generated debate about whether or not it is recommended to tattoo these areas.
La recommendation that is always given when covering a scar with a tattoo is that at least one year must have passed since the scar occurred. Some tattoo artists even recommend waiting a year and a half to ensure that the area is fully recovered and ready to face the process of making a tattoo. It is also often commented that, the more the scar resembles our skin tone, the better.
Tattoo artists, at least those with whom I have spoken, tell me that the scars that are most commonly covered are usually those of those "common surgeries". That is, we are talking about cesarean sections, spinal operations or even scars produced by burns or non-surgical (caused by a fall or due to self-injury).
