You would probably still want to be selective about which tattoos you get and where they are placed. Each session can create scar tissue which could be noticeable even if the ink fades completely, and it can be harder to tattoo over scar tissue as well.
Scarring isn't guaranteed, and to a large extent depends on the artist knowing what they're doing, but still something to consider.
- chipotle2 10y agoYup. The prevalence of scars is also fairly unknown because, well, the tattoos are covering them up.
- lj3 10y agoWouldn't the scars show up after laser removal, effectively making laser removal moot?
- CydeWeys 10y agoScars are skin color though, not pigment color. Also they're not nearly as fine as the original tattoo was. What had bene an easily discernible intricate design in a high contrast color will end up as an indiscernible mush of near-skin-tone scar tissue, like a low degree burn that's healed.
- danieltillett 10y agoScarring is very specific to the individual based on their genetics and is not just due to the artist knowing what they are doing.
