Hi Jai,
Unfortunately, scar tissue is of a much rougher and denser consistency that normal skin, so it doesn't hold ink well, and if it does, it tends to do so temporarily; the scar eventually starts to bleed through and disrupt the color. I've had this happen personally with a tattoo on my left shoulder adapted from a medieval Irish illuminated manuscript. The scar was from a fencing injury, of all things. Tiny, but it sure did mess up that design when its white line began to bust out. And before I'm redirected by Bobby, let me add that I think "Alice in Wonderland" is a superb example of absurdist, satirical writing and of great value as a template for viewing the world's brutal absurdities through humor, which is of great psychiatric value, and yada yada yada. ;) Atticus
