Tattoos over scars

Has anyone tattooed over a scar? Does it hurt more/less or even accept ink? I have a small scar from having a skin cancer removed (first one ever) on my chest and was thinking about honoring it. Any thoughts?

No offense, but the idea of honoring cancer... Not a good look.

No offense, but the idea of honoring cancer... Not a good look.No offense taken. Probably not the right word forit. Growing up in Florida I've lived all my life in the sun swimming and surfing. This is my first bit of skin cancer which I think is really impressive compared To a lot of my friends. Honoring is not a goodword for it.

I can't really speak much to tattooing over scar tissue, as I don't have any experience with it. But the idea of getting a tattoo as a sort of "F-you" to your cancer - awesome!I know that a lot of women with breast cancer who have had mastectomy get tattoos where their breast used to be. I personally find this to be an astonishing mark of courage and will. Maybe you should see if you can find someone who's had this done, then find out who their artist was.Good idea thanks. . :-)
