Is covering up my inframammary incision scar safe with a tattoo? Also I feel a little rippling below my right breast.

October 5, 2014
Asked By:Jessica Song in Los Angeles, CA

I'm currently at my 8 month mark from a breast augmentation. I've decided to get silicone with the inframammary incision process. I don't mind the rippling too much or the scar tissue texture. However, the appearance of the scar does bother me. I would love to get a tattoo just to cover up the scar line. I'm just a bit worried that it may puncture my implant.
