How well do tattos do over scars?

That really depends on the scar tissue and the artist, but I have seen some very good results.

Any recommendations for a good Essex based tattooist that specialises in tribal/black line work? I have something in mind which is fairly intricate and want to ensure a good job is done.

Got my first tattoo last week, its the start of my left chest/half sleeve that i've wanted to do for a long time since i've lost a fair bit of weight. I'm a big fan of the Day of the Dead scene so the main piece is focused around that, I appreciate its not everyone's cup of tea but each to their own and all that ... Yeah, went with a big/detailed piece for my first one, none of this small arty farty stuff to see how it is!



Second piece is booked in for Saturday

I think it was used as an episode of the twilight zone or Alfred hitchcock presents as well
