Is there a difference between scar tissue and regular skin in terms of how it tattoos?

I don't think so it depends on how you position the design.

Scar tissue.

Waiting for my camera battery to charge. Great link xoxoxoBruce
If I said no to all the questions can I still get a tattoo please please please? ;) Picture soon, scar is over 2 years old and not very noticeable maybe I just want a tattoo, you know being an attention whore and all :P

Maybe incorporating the scar into the design rather than trying to hide it, might be cool.
You can email me the picture and I can put it up for you.

Yes that was my idea F3 that's why I chose the peacock maybe the feathers have the right shapes. The photo makes it look worse than it does in person LOL not many people notice it or all people are really polite ;) I don't really want a bat tattoo ;)

I am off to work now...

If you like the peacock how about a phoenix?
Courage in adversity, rising from the ashes?

Cloud had one - because of her terrible burns.
My evil ex had one too, but don't let that put you off.

About 3 weeks ago, I had a lotus done on my inner arm (it's on my FB, and I'm willing to share if you want to see). I found my artist by asking friends who had ink, and getting their recommendations on not only studios, but artists at that studio. I then went to their website and looked around, seeing what they offered, and if they seemed to be a reputable studio.

I drew my own art, so I took it down, showed it to my artist (who had more ink than skin), we talked about it, tweaked a little bit, and it took about 45 minutes to do all of it.

I would definitely recommend that you talk to them about the coverage for your scar tissue - sometimes it holds colors differently - so as the art ages, it may look a little...odd. However, that said, I've seen some gorgeous chest pieces for women who have had mastectomies, and they did vine work along the surgical scars.

Make sure that whatever you get speaks to you - that it tells part of your story - you'll be living with it for a long long time. The lotus - yes. We won't talk about my elmo ;)

That scar looks like a dragon.

It's a shark!

No really, it says scorpion to me. Or an eagle in flight.

Is this a Rorschach test?

:lol:

I think Cloud had a peacock covering her scar tissue. she had her own website/blog thing somewhere. If you can track her down she might be able to help.

Don't tell her I sent you

Thanks Monster

Sundae I saw some Phoenix tattoos a bit masculine but nice, I like this too but it may also be a bit masculine roosters are supposed to be for bravery and valor. I don't subscribe to cock fighting but I admire the tenacity much like a Beta [Siamese Fighting fish] I just wonder about saying I have a fish on my leg or a cock! ;)
