What you need to know about scar tattoos
Want to get a scar tattoo but still have questions? Don’t worry: see the tips and recommendations of an experienced tattoo artist and understand what you need to know before heading to the tattoo parlor.
- Can you get a scar tattoo? According to the professional, you can! But the ideal is that the scar is at least 1 year old or completely healed. It is also important that the tattoo artist evaluates the skin to say if it is ready to receive the tattoo.
- Why is it important to have a tattoo artist or dermatologist evaluated? According to Lelis, depending on the depth of the scar, it takes longer to fully recover. In this case, if tattoo ink is introduced, the work may change as the scar tissue changes. In addition, each organism has its healing time and, therefore, it is not possible to establish a rule.
- How long after surgery can I get a tattoo on the scar? For the tattoo artist, the older the scar, the better, as the skin can adhere more easily. Normally, the studio works with a margin of 1 year, but again, it is imperative to have the evaluation of a professional.
- Can you get a keloid scar tattoo? According to Lelis, “it is possible, depending on the time of the scar and preferably with a medical report”. There are ointments on the market that help in the recovery of old keloids. Therefore, the ideal is to consult a dermatologist, do the treatment and only then tattoo.
- Does it hurt to get a scar tattoo? In the tattoo artist’s opinion, pain is relative. In general, the sensitivity is less at the site of the scars, but when it is covered, it ends up covering a larger area. So, she comments: “I would say it’s basically the same pain as any other tattoo”.
- What is the care of a scar tattoo? Lelis comments that the care is the same as for any other tattoo. In the case of keloids, she points out that “it is essential to consult a dermatologist and see if it is necessary to use any specific cream”.
Did you manage to clear your doubts? Before you rush to the studio, get an evaluation with your tattoo artist or dermatologist to understand what will be healthier for you.
