Tattoo Idea?

So I broke my Femur two years ago.. I've had a lot of time to think about having this scar, and I finally had my last surgury in August (or so I think). It's time to start thinking of the tattoo to make it look less ugly.

How would something like this look? (this is just a rough photoshop image)

P.S. The stable scars (the dots on the sides) will heal up soon... And it will eventually look cleaner.

I have no idea... but I know a girl that got a zipper on her scar for her shoulder surgury... And it turned out pretty good.

Listen, he specifically said that they said you can't do it.  Check his post.  And I remember an episode where they did tattoo over a scar that a girl had on her back.

well sorry mr i am so smart... to be honest though as a common sense point of view, i dont think the scar tissue would be able to absorb the ink, but i unno maybe im just stupid just like the guy above me said..

my friend has been a tat artist for years and he tats over scars all the time. Its just a matter of how long you wait to do it. The longer you wait, the better the tattoo will look because the scar has healed and settled.

I know a lot of tattoo artists wont even consider tattooing over a scar. The make up of a scar is different than normal skin...ie its a keloid so it wont tattoo like the normal skin next to it. Thus even a good tattoo artists work can look horrible if it crosses a scar. I know plenty of kids with tattoos that work around their scars but very few who have them over them and those usually look terrible.

i don't know about you, but from my ACL scar that thing is so sensitive and hurts like a bitch whenever i touch it. i would die from pain if i ever got something tatooed on it. but good luck with that. plus ink probably isnt good for it. it is a sick idea tho!

Actually, all the nerves around the scar were 'destroyed' when they cut and stapled it back. So it won't hurt at all.

I'm having trouble finding a tattoo artist that will do it. A lot of them are kinda scared to.

dont tattoo over a scar. ive talked with a few people back in burlington who definately know their shit (yankee tattoo), definately not recommended. itll look like shit fool. especially with something as detailed as a skier on that skier, you wouldnt be able to make things out really.

I'd say don't because the risk of getting it all fucked up and having it look like shit for the rest of your life is way too risky.

Uh, have you noticed the scar he's putting it on? I don't think he really gives too much of a shit if it doesn't turn out perfect...

Go into an reputable tattoo shop and ask them what they think of the tat shops on tv. It's tv FGT.

Yes you can get tats on/over a scar.

only problem with that is, it really doesnt do you the job of covering the scar, and making it any bigger would look dumb because its not proportional... but still, fuckin go for it!

I'm not trying to Cover the scar at all.. and that is just a 5 minute photoshop of an idea of what I would like.


And it's a pretty gnarly scar, I had an allergic reaction to the dressing they used when they stapled me back up, so I'm not really looking for the most "clean" tattoo ever.
