    • I cannot get any tattoo artist ( I know some artists personally.
      I was severely burned to my right foot and leg, ( a little to the left bottom foot and splashes on my hands and arms. I had skin grafts. Tattoo artist will not go over a skin grafts. Plus the skin they used was from my right upper outer thigh. They don’t touch the graft sites either. So, luckily my toes aren’t ugly. lol But burns they won’t touch. Unless they don’t care and just want the money.
      I don’t even ask anymore because my friends that are artist said they wouldn’t touch me, if my own friends won’t than I highly doubt anyone would say yes.
      Again, if they do they just want the money. Plus if anything were to go wrong, the artist might be liable for the problems?
      I am getting more ink done I’m not sure where or when…..

  1. I have had multiple neurosurgeries, with numerous scars on my head, neck, back and stomach, this would cover a lot of them! At one time I was thinking of putting an open zipper on my stomach and another on my back scars and have them partially open and a design of the bones showing, and dark spots for holes on my head!

  2. So beautiful rather then concentrating on the daily haunts of the negative, greeted by such beauty. I’m in. Any way of finding out where the tattoos were created? By whom? Congratulations 🎊

  3. That’s amazing how much better a tattoo of all things covers these scars and hopefully help the people that have been dealing with scars whether it be emotionally troublesome or just embarrassing for them. All of them looked beautiful and hopefully the people wearing them will also feel as beautiful as they look!!

  4. Wonderful tat artist to cover and beautify these various types, sizes and locations of scars. Especially the excellent disguising of the deep, wide and long scaring. I’m fair skinned with long thin scars on my knees and legs from knee replacements and a revision but my surgeon was precise, so they did all eventually heal flat and without any reddening. However, I’m a woman of a certain age and edema often causes my feet and legs to swell. This makes small blue veins and red capillaries form around my ankles. This is most unattractive and I’m going to see if any local tattoo artists have experience with and ideas for doing tats in this area of the body. Better run it by my doctor too.

  5. I’m rather adverse to tattoos, particularly on women already blessed with beautiful skin. However, I’m all for ones like these that hide scarring or other unsightly ailments.

  6. I had three surgeries on my right breast to remove a tumor and reconstructive surgery. I had a big scar on my breast. 2010 I went to Lucky Draw Tattoo in Kennesaw and had a beautiful rose to cover it up

  7. I never cared much for the tattoos of long ago, but they have become more creative and I love the idea if it doesn’t arm the thinner scarred skin. I wouldn’t mind getting a large scar on my leg covered if I could find a good artist or even a temporary transfer. These transformations are beautiful.

    • Look up Willie’s Tropical Tattoo (Ormond Beach FL) artist Ron Gray. He has done beautiful 3-d looking nipples to full chest coverups. Look for “Artist Ron Gray/Daytona Beach”

  8. I had an accident on my longboard…i have an scar on my face like Kratos lmao, i don’t know what should I do but seeing all this powerful girls I feel motivated…but at the same time I like my scar I don’t feel ashamed …love ppl

    • I have serious large
      large burns scars on my legs from knee down. My
      incredibly capable artist said to me that I would be difficult to cover one graft as it’s behind my knee and the skin is loose and soft. Instead I opted to get a full back tattoo to celebrate the end of 3 years of burns treatment – an angel rising from flames.

  9. The last one is two different feet!! I’m dying laughing! Those two feet look absolutely nothing alike, the size is different, bone structure is different, and skin tone is different. 2 of those things CANNOT CHANGE so they are obviously 2 different peoples feet!!

  10. I have a feather tattooed on the scar of my appendix surgery………….scar is invisible but I’ve got pregnant twice after it………now its changed to an ostrich feather or some other big *ss bird……..

  11. Thank you so much for opening the minds of the world, with this magnificent art. Restoring self esteem to those who are drifting in a sea of the (so called) beautiful people is the greatest gift. Their beauty was always there, however now they can really SHINE!! Kellie from Canada

  12. Incredible transformation!! Great job. I have several scars from 9 surgeries just on my stomach. I don’t have a tattoo and I’m sure it would cost too much for me. They are beautiful tho!

  13. I have scars halfway down my right arm from almost losing my arm in a car accident almost 6 years ago this would be perfect for me cause I’ve always been self conscious about my scars….I died 3 times from that accident and my fiancee tells me to wear them proudly cause not many people can die 3 times and live to tell their story he says it’s my choice to cover them if I want them covered

  14. These are all beautiful. It must be so freeing and confidence boosting to have the scars covered. I do wonder however how painful it might be. I know no tattoo is pain free but the skin in my old scars if very thin and sensitive.
