I had surgery a few months ago, I had my appendix taken out. Do you think its a good idea to get a tattoo over it? I already have a little butterfly right under the scar which is like 2-3 inches long.

Since you have a small butterfly, you can add a pretty flower...
Just wait till your scar is completely healed.
And keep in mind that cover up tattoos hurt like hell!

I love all my tattoos. However, work does not. I have to wear a thick-banded watch on my right arm just a little higher than where a normal watch would sit, because work disagrees with me on tattoos. Not all jobs are like that, but many places are. I think that's what people are getting at when they say to get them someplace that can be covered up. When I'm not at work, I don't cover my tattoos. I think tattoos can make a person more beautiful, even if it's only because it's something that has meaning to that person, and gives them confidence. Tattoos and piercings would never effect what I think about people. When I look at old pictures of myself, where I'm missing a tattoo or piercing, I think I look so naked and awkward. I think that my tattoos make me more beautiful and show off my personality more.

It's best to wait a year before doing anything on scars. You'll also have to find a good artist as scars don't absorb ink as well and a special technique is used for tattooing them. You might have to have it tattooed twice to get the color right.

Nah... don't think so.
Scars change color & sometimes shape, especially in that area of the body. Any tattoo in that area may not look the same in a few years.
Let the butterfly fly solo!

when it's healed, sure if that is what you want...but keep in mind a tattoo is more painful when done on or over scar tissue. so it might hurt worse than the previous one....personally i don't think i would....your scar might be smaller than you think, wait and see how it heals.

yes you can tatoo it to cover the scar if it's totally healed.

You cannot tattoo over scar tissue because the skin
is to thick to tattoo thru....
