Tattoo?

Hey guys I have a question for you all!  After my tt and butt lift I am stuck with a scar that goes all the way around me.  The tummy one does not bother me because it is low down, but the one on my back is higher up and shows if I wear lower cut pants and sit down.  I have considered a tattoo to cover it.  My hubby says no, but I think if it is tasteful, it could be very nice looking and much better than an ugly scar sticking out.  Not that I go around in really low pants, but even normal cut jeans slide down when you sit and sometimes your back shows!  And also at 38 years old is a tattoo tacky?  What do you all think?

Thanks for your opinions in advance.

I'm 39 Wendy and I have a tattoo, plan on getting a "sexy" ish second one to celebrate when I get there too! Lexia

Hi Wendy, I have four tattoos and I didn't get my first one until I was forty!!  How long has it been since your TT? It might hurt a little getting a tattoo on a fresh scar.  Also, how much do scars tend to fade on you after a couple of years?  Just a couple of things to think about. Good Luck, Joni

UMMMM I WOULDN'T DO IT....I HAVE COUSINS THAT DO TATTOOS AND THEY WOULD DO MINE FOR FREE IF I WANTED ONE...BUT NO WAY!!!!!  JMHO

HUGS

I have three tattoos. They are all on my wife. Ahmed

I am 37 and just got my first tattoo TODAY!  It is a butterfly on my ankle it is cute cute cute!  I love it and it didn't hurt that bad, i was ready for full pain and it wasn't like that at all.   I wanted to get one over my scar but they won't do it....not sure why but they wouldn't...... Good luck and if you want a tattoo I say go for it!  You only live once!

Whats the matter with you Wendy? Why would you even consider getting a tacky old tattoo ~you should consider getting a fresh new sexy one lol. Not all tattoos are tacky some are very nice. Look around see what you might like. Imagine what it might look like on you. Ask questions like how well will it cover up the scar tissue? How long will it take to complete(how many sessions). How painful is it. How much will it cost? How long for it to heal up? How much to remove it if after it's all said and done you change your mind. What kind of scars will a removal leave? Show your husband pictures of what you want to have done. Maybe have someone make up a temporary tattoo for you to try out. See if you like it and want to live with it for the rest of your life. See how hubby feels about the temporary one. If you really like it and it won't cause problems between you and your hubby then go for it. Best wishes to you. God bless, Annette

I think the question isn't what anyone else thinks about it, but whether ot not it will make you happy. It's on your body. If it will make you love your body a little bit more, then I say go for it... ~raphie
