Thanks everyone! It’s healing fine, just some dark pigmentation is going on right now, but its only several weeks old. I also wish scars looked like that forever…check for future pics of it healing up.

I’ve always loved the idea of a tattoo/scar combo. I don’t recall too many wehre the tattoo was done first though. I’m really interested to see the end result.
