Whatever the reason, you have found yourself with those unsightly squiggley, claw-like appearing lines in your thighs, abdomen, breasts, arms, or back. If you have tried to get rid of them with lotions or potions, you have probably found out these usually do not work as well as they claim. Maybe you have decided "if you can't beat them, join them" and want to tattoo over them. Some will say, "No!" this cannot be done, others will say the just opposite. There are some basic guidelines for tattooing over stretch marks: 1. The age of the stretch marks. If your stretch marks are less than 1 year old, you should wait to have them tattooed. Usually, the color of stretch marks will fade from a pink or purple to a more silvery flesh tone after the first year. 2. Find a tattoo artist, who is experienced in tattooing over scars/stretch marks. As him/her how many of these types of tattooing he/she has done and if they have any pictures of the final design after it was finished. Maybe they have collected testimonials from them that you can read. Sometimes, your doctor may be able to refer you to someone. 3. Have your tattooist start out with a small design that, if the tattoo does not take well, you can live with. This is a test site, and you should be able to tell how well your scarred skin will take and hold the tattoo ink. Be aware that tattooing over scars is somewhat more painful, as the nerve endings are closer to the skin's surface. Also, the ink can bleed under the skin where the scars are located or may not hold the ink at all. By doing the test site, you should be able to avoid...or at least be aware of these problems.

2. It is also important that you chose your design wisely. Find one that will work with your stretch marks such as cherry blossom tattoos. Getting a good tattoo design before going to see your tattoo artist will save you some time and trouble.
