I have a good number of cutting and scars that have been successfully tattooed over. It hurts more, but a skilled tattooer will be able to take care of you. This is coming from someone with raised and thick scars as well as faint ones. Both look awesome tattooed now. The thick raised scars hurt like a m€~%|>{>,%\€|er to tattoo, but Its worth it. Also having my tattoos absolutely keeps me from cutting. Whenever I'm tempted, I just think of the time and energy that went into the beautiful artwork. As well as the catharsis of getting them put on. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
