I had a skin infection that after it cleared up, it left a discolored mark, my question is this..I want to?

cover the area with a tattoo..Can this be done? will a tattoo artist even do it? They might think I have some disease or something. Is it safe to tattoo over discolored skin?

Some people claim it cannot be done; however, i have a half sleeve on my left arm (tattoo extending from shoulder to elbow). At the shoulder blade i have a scar from when I was given my polo immunization. The artist claimed that the tattoo would not cover it; however, I can no longer find the scar.
Reply:I would not do that just yet. Because there might be some infected particles in your skin right now, and polluting them with ink would not be a great idea.
Reply:ive seen people get tattoos over scars so i dont see why they couldnt tattoo over that. i have discolored skin on my ankle from a scar that was itchy when it was healing, it comes from scratching it alot. my doctor told me that i killed my pigment cells from scratching.

Reply:Salcura Intensive spray healed up my red-purple skin after injuries %26amp; eczema patches. Without it they would still be purple or at least for 6 months before they start to return to my normal skin colour.
Reply:I am not sure if they will cover but. My daughter had a infection on her face and it left a red mark and it is still there months later and the docotr said that it can take years for it t go away I would waite and see it it doesnt go away than it is permant and the artist may it varies, there all differnt just like surgens they choose what is alright what they want to risk check it out go to the doctor and see what they say about it!
