Post pics of your tattoo! Im about to do the same thing!

Ashme, I had a second revision done and was upset that I had to go through it a second time too...but my results are perfect now. My scar is a bit higher than I would've preferred...the only choice I have at this point in order to be completely comfortable is to tattoo over the scar. Not opposed to it as I have 3 other tats...but I'm hesitant as I want to make sure it's the right choice. I asked his opinion and he didn't seem to keen on the idea but...it's my choice. Trying to settle on a design and I'll go from there. You're results are amazing - look at your before and afters!!! I know having to have the dog ear addressed again sucks...it does as you have to start the healing process over again...but stick with it and don't quit until you are happy. Remember you paid for his services and you should get what you paid for! Keep us all updated, ok?

Ashme, I feel horrible for you! I hope it's not true and you don't end up with a worse one - been there, done that. Keep me posted and I wish you a quick recovery.

well, I wasn't finished typing when it posted my comment!

P.S. I did inquire about getting the scar tattooed. He didn't really seem in favor of it, but advised to wait a minimum of 18 months before getting it done if I decide to go that route. I go back and forth all the time...still not convinced what I want to do. If I can figure out a design (with out any doubts whatsoever), I'll probably go ahead and have it done!

Best of luck with your revisions! After the first revision, I KNEW that my left side would end up with one worse than it started out...but still had to wait 6 months to have it taken care of. Finally got it done and it looks great (still have the steri-strip on it now though). No painkillers given, I didn't feel anything until late in the evening and at that point it was kind of a stinging sensation. Just took some ibuprofen and I was good to go. NO down time from working out at all. Only issue I had is one of my running belts sits right at my hip area and I had to sling it across my chest instead as it was irritating the stitches. I'm glad to finally be done ALL procedures associated with my new tummy and move on! Best of luck with your revisions. Keep me posted and take pics!! I'll be thinking of you!

P.S. I di
