Bring out the hey! - HEY!

Hello from Slovenia,

i'm a 24yo male with a burning wish to have a tattoo. The first time i got the ide that it would be nice to have a tattoo was 7 years ago when i had my spinal-fusion operation. I have scar-tissue all over my back (straight line). In that time i was thinking about making the tattoo on my back so it would cover the scar. Since then i have changed my mind. My scar is so hard to see that is no point to making a tattoo over it, but my wish for getting a tattoo is still here.

I'm already in contact with my artist, but there is something i still need your opinion on. Will open a thread when i have permissions.

Have a great day!

Welcome! I have a similar scar from spinal fusion surgery too! currently working on a full backpiece that happens to cover it. Feel free to ask questions in this thread. Who is the artist you are working with?

Hey, thanks for the welcome.

I've been in contact with grey skull tattoo studio, arranged a meeting with them. I'll see how it goes, but i think i might switch to some other studio, because this one doesnt do much tattoos in the style i'd like mine to be.

With that in mind, this is what i was aiming for. I know about artist freedom, so this is just the big picture, basic guidelines. I also have a question regard it. Do you think its more of a women's tattoo? I'm really into owls for some reason, and this picture really speaks to me :)

I also checked your blog out, your scar is barely noticable. Your artist did a great job! I was reading some articles over the internet and i found out that tattooing over a scar can be difficult and it's not recommended. Was it painful?

Thanks! Compared to normal skin the scar almost feels numb when it is getting tattooed.
