I want to cover Keloids with a Tattoo. I heard this can be done. Do anyone know of any Tattoo artist that specialize in this in Southern California. I read of one in Northern California. Or can anyone refer me to someone for consultation.

ask your dr to treat it with kenalog-10,once the raised scar tissue has flatten treat it with scarguard, with tatooing you will run the risk of keloiding that as well.

Here's what you do. A keloid is just a scar that keeps producing MORE scar tissue, even after the wound has healed. A tattoo can effectively cover the kelooid, however the keloid does have the ability to keep changing/growing. So, before getting the tat, go see your physician and ask about having some steroids shot directly into the scar. This works like a charm! The keloid noticibaly shrinks and the steroid stops the overproduction of scar tissue. Then go get your tattoo. Hope this helps!

Make sure you have "Keloids" and not "Hypertrophic scars". Tattoo artist don't use to tattoo over keloids in fear of making it worst, some artist just make the tattoo around but not over the keloid. But some people with keloid problems can develop more keloids on healthy skin after a tattoo. Ask your doctor and dermatologist before doing something that might mutilate your skin permanently.

im a tattoo artist and i would refuse the tat it just wont heal right as scar tissue is non healed skin and skin which will never heal
my advice is if you want a tattoo so badly get it on a different area of your body

i dont think it will work, it will only make it worse. but if it does work, go in and say u want very very light pressure when applying the tattoo.
