not sure what you mean by scaring were the scab came off or the milky look but if i'm what i think your saying is right then after a tattoo is done sometimes it will look a little scared and have a white haze over it not sure of the reason why but i have seeen this in some tattoos but it will all go away if you give it time
as far as tattooing over any scaring it can be done with no problem as tattoos are used to cover scares all the time so who ever told you it wouldnt take ink is wrong

Well I guess it isnt actually scaring, its just where the scar was it seems like a hunk gone its a small butterfly on my foot the milky looking color is what I dont like though.. Thanks for your response, I will see if I can figure out how to post a pic on here so you can see thanks again

If you have any scaring from a tattoo never go back to that artist!!!!

If after say 3-4 weeks you can feel lumps or raised lines the tattooist has dugg the needle in your skin.A tattoo should never resemble braile.

Give it a month and hopefully it will settle down. Smile

Hiya. Sounds like the spot where your scab fell off, Quite possibly would have been overworked when he coloured it? Generally if you see that wee white blotch. All the goodness thats meant to be in you artwork has fallen out during the healing process?
