#honestly im less concerned about ruining the tattoo and more about it affecting the surgery

[ottitty]

Im considering getting a tattoo to cover up a surgery scar.

It was a carpal tunnel release, but its pretty low on the wrist (to the point where ive had some people mistake it for.... a sign of mental health issues and ask uncomfortable questions. Not fun when the surgery was already pretty traumatic).

Im wondering if anyone else has had coverups for similar surgeries, and if so, have they caused you any issues including if they needed to go back and remove scar tissue/do another release in the future? My other hand surgeries took under a decade to get overgrown with scar tissue again, so I'm trying to be wary.
