Tattoo to camouflage cutting/self-harm scars
One problem with scars is that this kind of tissue does not receive tattoo pigment as well as normal skin. If you decide to try this option, you are advised to have a small test spot performed initially to give you an idea of how well (or not well) such an approach would be.
