Tattooing over open acne sores will spread bacteria throughout the wound created by the machine. I wouldn't want to risk that. If it just scars, you should be fine.

I don't think that a tattoo would be good over acne. There is some type of makeup that covers up acne though. It's called Dermablend.

i have actually done that...it hurts like a ***** over those scars and the artist may have a hard time getting good lines. in that case he'll have to go over it again. But if covering scars is what u want to do and can take more pain than what usually comes with a tattoo, then go for. it'll get covered up but u'll still have that puffy skin under it.

I would try my best to clear up the acne where you want the tattoo. Maybe try proactive. And for the record, tattoo needles are NEVER reused, if you don't see an artist take needles out of a sealed bag, leave! Make sure you find a reputable tattoo parlor.

i don't think it'll cover up the acne and it will most likely be painful. it may help with some marks and scars but not acne. if you wanted to cover up your acne, why not take medications rather than get a permanent tattoo?

youlle have to take very good care of it, the ointments on the tattoo need to be changed very frequently, and have someone wash your back gently with antibac and a hot wet washcloth.You will still get pimples under the tattoo as well.

No, it isn't safe. You could get an infection. That is one more reason why I think getting tatoos is not safe for anyone. You already have inflammed pustules on your back, and how would I know that the tattooing needle is properly sterilized before using again?

it would likely mess up the tatoo buzz buzz pop buzz pop. All that puss would mix with the ink and create a big gross mess. I don't think you would be able to get someone to do that for you.

um...i think that would hurt as hell! since the needle would be all over it, and kinda disgusting!...you should just get your back treated first and tehn you can get a tattoo...
