TATTOOING ON SCARS ★ TATTOO ADVICE ★ by Tattoo Artist Electric Linda

[@shaggyrose7036]

Her voice is so kind I feel like I’m being talked to my high school guidance counselor

[@viktoria3822]

Hi Linda! Very cool video :) Actually the aim of my tattos were to cover up selfharm scars, and it worked. They were at least 2,5 years old and very faded, so it worked really well and I don't have to hide them anymore. I would recommend this to anyone who has scars and wants them to be not as visible anymore. Keep it up Linda

[@electriclinda]

+Viktoria Illich Thank you!

[@city_hippie1017]

Viktoria Illich I'm just saving up for mine they are like 4 years old and basically all faded all on my forearm

[@danielalopes6543]

Walter Charney same 🙏🏽

[@TachyonicBullet]

Was it more painful than without scars? Or does it feel different in a way to you?

[@shxwtydntcry]

Depression and self harm are very hard, but *we are heroes to live such lives!* 💪 Never give up, you're not alone and please watch my How to Stop Self Harming and Surviving Depression video to have some company and help! 💙💕

[@deejay4368]

I had a lot of huge scars from an accident that I got covered. I had to wait 5yrs before I could have them tattooed. So over the next 5yr (after the initial 5yrs) I got 30 tattoos. Each tattoo colouring was dictated by the scar. I worked closely with my artists and I listened to their advice. Best thing I ever did. Yes if I slide my hand over the scars of course I can feel them. But unless you know the scar is there (and you have to really look closely) can't see the scars at all. So happy and grateful dor the artists amazing work.

[@janehill322]

Hi, I was in a similar situation from a car accident almost 4 years ago and I really want to get a tattoo on my scars, but I'm afraid of the results should i also wait for 5 years? (sorry for my English if i made any mistakes )

[@qwertyuiop3201]

I was born without the belly skin so my intestines were exposed and shit. They pulled my skin together I guess, so I have a vertical scar in my stomach. I'm 18 now, and I want to cover it up but finding tattoos ideas is so hard and for what☠

[@totallynameless8861]

I love your voice; it's so soothing.

[@koivunen2489]

I had a small scar, it wasn't even that visible to others but it bothered me immensely so I had it hidden with a tattoo. There's no sign of the scar anymore and I'm a lot happier with it not staring at me.

[@Emily-ce7hd]

This is super encouraging. I've had some people say mine isn't really that bad, but it still bothers me and that's what matters. It's great to know that it worked for you!

[@sveaillbruck1644]

I have a brilliant work of tattoo-art on my wrist. I have some self-harm scars there and I covered it up with an elephant tattoo and the scars are hidden in the elephant's snout as wrinkles. Even if the light does show my scars it just looks like great 3D tattoo. 😊

[@floofthebird525]

Thanks for covering how tattoos work on scars. Since most mine are straight, thin slashes I'll likely design the tattoos that go over those so the outlines follow the scar and fully cover it to avoid any color shifting. Seriously, thank you for covering this topic, it'll help me plan my future tattoos.

[@samanthamiller5814]

It’s been 11 years since I had scoliosis surgery and I’m 23 now I’m officially getting it done this year I know spine tattoos are tough but I’m so brave nothings gonna compete with the pain that I’ve been though with my spinal surgery plus I’ve got my ribs tattoos so if I can handle 2 sessions for 4hrs on my rib tattoo I could definitely handle getting my spine tattooed there’s a story behind it all of my tattoos have meaning to them you make something that was the hardest time of your life into something beautiful ❤️💕✨

[@Olivia-sk5ws]

I am so happy to hear that I can get a tattoo over my scar. I have a huge scar on my thigh from childhood abuse. It is so hard to look at, so I am very happy to hear that I can cover it up. I just don't have the money for it and idk who is good enough to cover it up.

[@seaturtlepoppy7679]

Finally!! I got a lot of scars tattooed over 8-10 years ago and this is the first video that taught me something new! Thank you explaining why the older the better. I always figured it would be best to wait but never knew what was going on beneath the scar tissue.

[@pictur3scrazy]

You look drop dead gorgeous in this video! Also loved the information as I got one of mine to go over some scars that were self inflicted in my youth. I’d rather have something beautiful and meaningful to look at instead of a past I don’t always want to remember. This video definitely made me rethink covering over my surgical scars though because they are fully healed, but very ugly and didn’t heal very flat. I can’t imagine any design would look good after hearing your points!

[@loganw5060]

I recently had over half of my collar bone taken out due to cancer. In a few short months I should be deemed cancer free! If everything goes to plan I would really like to get a tattoo underneath my scar. I don’t want to hide it, because it’s part of my story. Part of a huge event that took place in my life, and helped shape me into the person I am now. I do however want to get a tattoo underneath it. I’m not 100% sure what I want yet, but something to make the area look less harsh, and more beautiful. When I had surgery it kinda messed up some of the nerves so in some spots it’s more sensitive and In some spots is completely numb. Am I still able to tattoo over that. I know some spots will be more painful, but I’m wondering if it will mess up the tattoo in anyway. (Might be a stupid question but I want to be as informed as possible!)

[@mollykate422]

Crazy Cat lady congrats on your recovery!

[@MrJasonstorage]

Good for you!

[@Dianatheyoung]

I have a scar i want tattoed as well, wich is still connected to nerves, I'd like to hear more about it as well. Congrats on your recovery!

[@bluebee7281]

yo are you cancer free now

[@williamlight2393]

Hope u r doing well m8.

[@bienchencreates830]

Thank you for making this video! I want to get a tattoo on a scar on my back, but it's not old enough yet.. Guess I Just have to wait another two years! Thanks again for this information! Couldn't find it anywhere else!

[@JD-767]

Hi Linda, Can you do a video on cover ups? Like what is and isn’t possible, how you do them, how to cover dark tattoos and the current trend on covering darker tattoos with opaque grey which seems to be popular? Would be very helpful.

[@electriclinda]

+Jeremy Delaney i will :)

[@evren-tophermahns2693]

I want to get gold ink on my top surgery based off this story I heard about shattered pottery being reformed with gold, to show its breaking made it more beautiful. I don’t want to feel ashamed or like I have to hide the scars, but I want to celebrate what they represent. Thanks for the advice on going about that :)

[@No1hyp0cr1te]

i love that concept :)

[@beccadevito5597]

I love how you explained this. Well done.

[@climb318]

This is for anyone with big, hard, dark scars: give it time!! Yes, even more time. I have a lot of self cutting scars, but a couple are just way bigger than the rest. They were huge, hard, raised, and red. Years passed, and they stayed that way even while my medium scars turned white and soft and my light scars faded. 10+ years on now, and my big huge scars are still big and huge, but they did eventually get light and soft.

[@Isrjisoneavalable]

Some think raised scars can also be injected with steroids they basically melt the scar tissue making it flatter. Very painful but for me worth it

[@kurdaitcha5806]

I have self harm scars that I want to get covered but almost every artist I've approached in Adelaide, South Australia has been dead against it. Usually going as far as to insult me about it.

[@clownworldhereticmyron1018]

Damn really?

[@mikuenjoyerXD]

That's really shitty and you don't deserve that kind of treatment I'm so sorry...

[@Cookie54ize]

Kurdaitcha I’m sorry, that seems very cruel.

[@erin1532]

I used to be a severe self harmer and I’d love to put tattoos over them on my arms

[@nope6021]

I have a big scar going from my tailbone up to the base of my shoulder blades from a scoliosis surgery in 2015. In say 2 years or so I want to get a tattoo that looks like a corset back lace up (actually my mom's idea, she brought it up as a joke just after my surgery and I actually loved the idea I love victorian fashion and corset lacing) I want to get it crossing over the scar, like the ribbon crossing over and such and was sort of worried about it but it's good to know that you can get tattoos over scars under the right circumstances

[@765respect]

Cool idea. Did your surgery fix you scoliosis curve? I've been thinking to correct my curved back. It started curving when I was about 15 yo, am now 24.

[@eatyorvegies]

I love this idea! My daughter, 19, has a massive scoliosis scar. I really want her to get something cool to cover it, but she's not into tattoos.

[@jothipalanichamy7940]

Tattoo clinic address

[@Tyler-Woody]

I’m in a similar situation! Did you end up getting it ?!

[@nope6021]

@@Tyler-Woody Haven't gotten it yet because I can't afford it lol. And it'll be an insanely painful placement because it's over metal, on scar tissue, on the spine. ... but I do still intend to get it when I can lol.

[@IslesGirl3]

My mom's colleague (teachers) got into a bus accident with her students on a field trip. Sadly some students died. Her colleague had a scar on her ankle from the event and it was a physical reminder of that painful day. So she went to a tattoo shop and instead had it covered by a rose. She wanted something beautiful there to cover the reminder but to also honor the lives lost. Tattoos really can really make beauty.

[@williamhalliday6911]

What about the scars on my broken heart ?🤔

Get over yourself

[@akstolvan284]

firstly- thank you so much for the video! I looked up "advice on tattooing over scars" yours was the first that. kind of just caught my eye :) Love the tatts by the way! note: don't read if sensitive to topics of PTSD & self harm... Thank You. just looking for some honest advice on this one without putting pics on the web LoL ? - - - so, brief intro before my question...I've been put through a lot physically to the point many people thought it was just extensive self harm until they saw the actual extent of where and how deep the tissue was damaged when I had enough one day and decided it's hot, I'm tired of long sleeves even on a hot day and threw caution to the wind sense I had finally accepted what happened and how i looked even healed up. Until my friend saw me walking and stopped just to say (not quite exact words as this is a public place haha ) "hey good to see you out and- wait, I thought you did those yourself.. but, just look at your back, chest, WTF did they do to you!? Sorry... I just figured you had some bad depression S--- going all this time". it back-tracked me 3 years of working on my PTSD and transitioning back into society after what happened. From there you can likely picture the type of scars I'm talking about trying to go over... it's so uneven and covers about 65-70% of my back and 80% of my arms up to my shoulders even the rest is about as bad too.. just a lot of intersecting scars that ranged from "they healed over about same as my skin" to "they healed up INDENTED" and others "they healed up RAISED" in the SAME fn area... :( it's been 2 yrs sense that mentioned backtrack- I've been home almost 5 years now.. Finally looping back around to getting ink done now that the scars are how they are, I've tried just about everything else while they were still too fresh to get tatts over anyways (and a few more methods even once they were cleared for inking per se), and it's what I originally wanted to do once the skin closed up and I could. haha... ANY ideas on coverage for this or even multiple tatts that just distract from the overall "walking carving board" look? if not it's okay. I know in my case it's more extensive than most could picture normally. I've done tatts on other people with some smaller more concentrated areas that seemed to heal up like mine but, yeah. :( (took a bit for me to type this even but it's the e-net: you don't have to see me and those face to face know this stuff without having to know me just by seeing me... so.. if you read this Electric Linda- thank you!

[@tella6630]

I know this is a very old comment but I was very touched by everything you said, sending you all the love and hoping you're in a good place 🙏✨

[@_VaIiant]

You are true Viking beauty!

[@No1hyp0cr1te]

Your analogy was really great - thanks, Electric Linda!

[@AtheistAI]

Thank you Linda, you have given me some hope. My wife was very badly (third degree) burned and has had 2 skin transplant surguries 7 transplants in total for her neck, chest, sholder, and uppper left arm. and i'm still trying to find some sort of thin to improve her quality of life. I cam across your video and it made me think of options I had not previously concidered. Now we do live in Japan, and she is Japanese so maybe if I can convince her that she will not be concidered the proporty of the Yakuza maybe there is hope. (it sucks but prostitues that are enslaved to the Japanese yakuza do have major tatoo's). Not meaning to sound down. Your video is a real UP. for me. Thank you for opening my mind to possibilities.

[@danroth4315]

When you are talking , all I can see is your eyes and they are mesmerizing. I meant no disrespect. I love all your videos.

Hi Electric Linda! Love, love, LOVE your videos!! And your ATTITUDE!!! Learning more about the tattoing world every day, and love the education!!! Thanks!

HEY Linda just wanna say thank you for sharing this. I do have self harm scars and this video helps me a lot! Thank You🙏🏻

[@jillpeterson2071]

Im a recovering addict (I.v. drug user) & have a lot of old track mark scars I really want to cover. I hope I will be able to. I won't even wear short sleeves in the summer I hate me arms.

[@jbot91]

Same:( I wanna get a sign that says "sold to the salt mines" over them. Like from the pinocchio cartoon when they turn into donkeys lol. That's a good idea right:)

[@jaclynkiser24]

I was ran over by a full size passenger van when I was 9(26 year's ago). Due to this, my entire left calf, and my entire right elbow+ (about a 3rd of my arm) are heavily scarred. I chose to not get plastic surgery to cover them up despite it being heavily encouraged by my Dr's. I've now decided to get those area's tattooed. My main reason is due to placement in relation to my current, and planned tattoo's. Aside from funding( if I had no spending limit, I'd already be covered), my biggest hesitation is simply tolerance of the pain because of the scars sensitivity. Other concerns I had were, texture interference and uneven pigmentation.

[@mikailasmiles1359]

This is the exact video I was searching for! Thank you so much

[@CardioCaffeineQueen]

This actually perfect for me right now. I was just declared cancer free from MPTC agressive thyroid cancer. It was 3 months ago from my TT surgery & they want me to wait atleast a year. I don't want to cover it up, but build it into my scar as my cancer journey/raise awareness. Thank you!

How about stretch marks?

[@emjenkins464]

I've got a hollow in my left thigh because if a bad delayed reaction to steroid injections used to treat my arthritis when I was first diagnosed (we think it dissolved the fat and it's not coming back). The area also has stretch marks and pock marks from childhood chicken pox. I want a wildflower/s in there to show that I have grown and endured through my pain, and come out a better person

[@nicolasy3392]

I just watched your entire playlist of tattoo advice and this is the biggest question I have, since one of the tattoos I want to get is to cover up a scar on my shoulder that holds really painful memories for me. Thank you so much for your videos, you have a new sub! :)

[@xrhstoskati5632]

You are amazing for doing this video. This is very helpful. One thing I want to ask you ; does it hurt more if you tattoo a scar than it normally does?

[@juliepearce1564]

Thank you I'm looking at having a tattoo lilies down my arm to cover scars that look like self harm scars which they are not they are from a bad skin allergy I had 16 months ago I've waited so long so they can heal you have answered most of the questions I've been concerned about so thank you very much. By the way I love your channel

[@dreyhawk]

I'm glad I found this. I have surgical scars on my hand/2 fingers that are thin lines. I was thinking of having them turned into a vining plant..or.. the x-ray of the 2 fingers showing the joint replacements.

[@deniseroe5891]

Thank you for this. I am 2 1/2 years on a shoulder replacement and think this would be a good spot for a tattoo in remembrance of my dad. Now to decide what I want. My moms is a hummingbird on my left shoulder and this will be on my right side. BTW: you are so pretty and love the tattoo work.

[@dreaaa818]

Your neck tatt looks so sicc😍😍😍😍Over all your so beautiful and I love all your tatts

[@safiad5361]

I used to self harm and I recently got one of my forearms tattooed. Being right handed, my left arm is the worst and I was told it would be difficult to get a tattoo there, even though my last scars are 9 years old. My right arm is not as badly scarred, I got a tattoo there and boy did it hurt. Even worse than my ribs. I don't know if it's because of the scars or what but it was so bad. I don't want to cover my other arm though for some reason... I've learned to live with my scars.

[@alipaez9829]

what a good advice video, thank you so much!

[@M0rbiddd2]

In a couple days I'm turning 16 and getting my first professional tattoo. I've thought about it for almost a year now and it's going to be my great grandmothers signature since she pasted back in August. I used to self harm and I have a couple scars where I want the tattoo to be and I'm really hoping that part of the tattoo doesn't fade more than the other part over time because of the scar even thought it's already 2 or 3 years old. I'm also hoping to get a full forearm tattoo to cover the major self harm scars I have and by that time it would have been about 5 or 6 years old for when I want it (around 18) and since a lot are for deep I'm so scared that it'll be more visible than it is now

[@kurdaitcha5806]

You're still growing at 16 tho, it's probably gonna stretch.

[@genevagardner2876]

Hi Linda, I would really love to know how you think using water colour on and around keloid scaring 3plus years most 5 years

[@solegmnz6619]

Hi Linda, what do you think about camouflage tattoos for stretch marks? I mean the ones that try to match the color of your skin. There's people claiming it changed to a lighter or darker color and looks worse! Does it depend on the ink components? Thanks for your honesty!

[@phantomwolf3300]

I had an accident just over a year ago at work, lost a thumb and they placed it into my leg, applied leeches for circulation and they wanted a toe to replace a piece lost in the accident, I declined, so the got rid of the rest of the thumb and it left a 30cm scar on my leg , I have real trouble looking at it, both my hand and leg, just an ugly reminder of the accident, I wanted to get it covered with a tattoo to help me psychologically get over it but I don't know if I can bare looking at it for years since you say its recommended time, I also have bad lungs and don't get out all that often anymore which for an adventurous soul like me can be awful, thanks for the advice, you look like a wonderful talented lady so I will try my best to wait and seek a good experieinced artist like yourself and find a design that flatters the scar and my personality, thanks again for answers x

What about tattooing on top of a partially lasered tattoo? Do you have to walk around with a shapeless blob for three years before incorporating it into a new tattoo? Or are scars from laser removal not that deep?

[@celli874]

You can

[@Tronderose]

You shouldn't get any scars from laser removal - at least I didn't. But yeah, I've been walking around with a blob for years :') I have a video on it if you're interested

[@minitiger3309]

Thank you sweetie, you answered my question

[@hele4299]

Thank you so much for this video. You really brought my hopes up. I want to get my SH scars camouflaged with a cheery blossom tattoo next year. Just wondering: about how much will it cost to get your whole wrist tattooed?

[@Tronderose]

Only your tattoo studio can answer about the cost. It depends on size and detail, or if the studio charges by the hour.

[@heatherqualy9143]

I see someone else asked this, but I didn’t see a reply, and I have a similar question. 6 years ago I had a double mastectomy. The scar lines are very thin and close to my skin colour. I am not trying to cover them, I don’t mind them, the tattoo has nothing to do with my cancer. I wanted to put a tattoo there because it represents the people closest to my heart. But the scars made some areas dead, some more sensitive, and some areas which feel dead on the surface, but painful if you hit it hard. Will a tattoo hurt more if it goes here? Especially since I have no fat, no cushioning there now. It is flat to the bone.

[@jesss3914]

This was super helpful! I've been considering getting a scar tattooed but it's not all the same color (it's not all my skin tone color if that makes sense) so I wasn't sure if it'd be okay to get tattooed 😳 it's months old but looks like its healed well and after watching this video I feel more informed ❤ so ty!

Hi..I want to ask you..do you have some experiences with tattoo and acne skin? thank you :)

[@loganw5060]

Natalie Feriancek I’m not a professional by any means, but I did have SEVERE cystic acne on my back and check that left scars. I have talked to a few tattoo artists about possibly tattooing over some of it. I would recommend going in and showing a tattoo artist where you want it, and explain your concerns. If you have any pimples or anything that’s an open wound they can’t really tattoo over it. If all you have is scaring then they might be able to. If it’s flat or even slightly indented it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. If it’s really raised from the skin then it becomes a problem. I hope this helped! Good luck!

What about scars from picking? (dermatillimania) These are flat white round scars. Can those be covered up with some kind of design too? Thanks

Hi, what about varicose veins? Lower leg, shin. Any problems with going over that? Thank you pretty one.

I believe it similarly works on stretch marks ?
