About a year and a half ago Ubergeekgawdess had Tantan (at Infinite, Philadelphia) do the cutting that you can see healed on the left. Just now, on the right, Joy Rumore (at Venus, NYC) has added tattooing to augment the scar as it matures.

Awesome!

Absolutely gorgeous.
…But I don’t think it meshes well with the cherries she already had. Ah well, it’s still amazing work!

Does anybody have an idea of the pain level of getting scar tissue tattooed? I have a few scars I’d like to add some ink to, so I’m a little curious…

Christina: I found that the parts that actually tattooed into a bit of scar tissue were pretty painful but it wasn’t bad enough that I’d never do it again. Don’t let the pain level stop you because it is definitely bearable.

looks beautiful! i was looking for something like this but didnt really find much.. i can;t wait till i work on mine! (maybe 5-7 years. eep!) i wonder how it will be changing as the scar changes over time.. and also how the tattoo heals. i want to get the tattoo to go over some of hte scars on mine but it may not work.

I love the idea of 3D tattoos, like flock wallpaper or something, but prettier!
