Hey Yamy,

Welcome. Sorry about your surgery. I know all about wanting to cover scars with tattoos. Let me say this...scars can be beautiful. Please don't rush into getting your NECK tattooed. In my experience, you need to give your scar at least a year or more to heal. The longer you wait, the more settled the skin will be. As a result, the better the tattoo will look.

When was your surgery? How big is the scar? I would focus on healing your scar before doing anything, especially on your neck.

thanks ,Gingerninja. i had the surgery on 25th October last year. the scar is about 2 cm long which is protruding and obvious.

Thanks, Yamy. As hard as it might be to wait, wait. :) Have you tried Vitamin E oil and/or very light massage? You may even consider seeing a plastic surgeon. Where is it on your neck?

i did see a plastic surgeon and he said it's hard to cover it.so i think a tattoo may works. sorry Gingerninja,may the photo will cause you uncomfortable
