Tattoo's can often cover up scars depending on the condition of the scar, it is possible to cover-up a scar that has faded or isn't too noticeable in
the first place. It mainly depends on the age and flatness of the scar. If the surface is extremely raised, then that skin
may not accept ink. As far as covering up existing tattoos, that can definitely be done. Typically a new piece needs to be two to three
times the size of the original to achieve a successful cover up.
If
you have a fresh scar you can use Vitamin E oil on the scar to help soften the tissue.
This will help the scar during the healing time. Scar tissue heals differently
for everyone; some scars can take up to 2 years for the tissue to completely and fully heal.
