Have been performing laser tattoo removal a decade and seen a lot of different tattoos. In our situation the scar will eventually turn white, a KTP laser can shorten the time for that to occur. Trying to cover the scar with a skin color ink dosnet work because your skin color changes nearly constantly. We may not see it but at times your pinker followed by paler, followed by redder etc. The area is seldom the color of you skin. If you hat looking at the scar you can either speak to your plastic surgeon about a scar revision to see if it can be refined or place a cover up tattoo over the scar. I have not seen many men do this but have seen several women place flowers etc around c section scars. I hope this is helpful
