But I do want to let you know, before they can tattoo over a scar it can't be red or pink and usually has to been made 6 months to a year ago. If it is really raised they may not be able to tattoo over it. So my advice is before you set up the appointment go to the shop and have them look at where you want it and the scar. From there they will tell you if they can tattoo over it or not.
I hope this helped.

This is a good point. Most artists will talk to you and tell you if the tattoo they have planned will work on the scar. If it doesn't they can usually help you figure out what will.
I know, for example, some colors are better for scars than others. I talked to a few different people who have scars and I found a youtuber who talked about her decisions, they all said that the artists were willing to work with them to figure out how to make it work.
There are some youtube video's about it and there is one that I found by a tattoo artist and she talks a lot about her experiences tattooing over self harm scars. It might be worth watching those because she basically says that depending on the type of scar ... you have to use certain designs etc. At the end of the day, it comes down to the tattoo artist and their experiences with self harm scars.
If you want to find the video's you can type in tattooing over self harm scars and the first video that shows for me is the one by the tattoo artist.
Sorry I didn't mention this in my previous post!
