I have scar camouflage for areola scarring after Breast Reduction. Am I a candidate for cover up tattoo? (photo)

shoefetish86
I had a breast reduction in 2010. I am happy with the total result except for the scarring and lighter pigmentation around the areola. I already had a scar revision in 2012 with the same result. I cannot do much about the raised portion of the scarring, but am considering reducing the appearance/camouflaging the scars with medical tattooing. Am I a viable candidate that can expect good results?
