humuhumunukunukuapua'a Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Was wondering if this is tattoo scarring and if there are any ways to help flatten the skin. The healed part is still a bit raised as seen on the pic. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/9293-is-this-tattoo-scarring/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 2 1/2 years though, I doubt there is much you can do.

SStu Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Yeah, maybe Keloid scarring. Has it been like that for all this time, or is the raised part a recent development?

humuhumunukunukuapua'a Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 It's been like that the whole time since it finished healing. I've been told it could be scar tissue from the artist being too heavy handed or pulling the lines too slow. Could that be why?

SStu Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I don't think so. If that was the case then you'd be seeing it a lot more often. You just may be prone to keloid type scarring, and there's nothing wrong with that. Ink AND texture. oboogie 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/9293-is-this-tattoo-scarring/#findComment-148635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
