Thank you for your question.  I am sorry to hear about your complications.  It is best to discuss the timing of your tattoos with your surgeon.  Typically most surgeons would recommend waiting 3-6 months for the swelling to resolve.  Best wishes on your recovery

Thank you for your question.  I would recommend that you wait longer for the scar to heal more.  You can go around the scar, but not directly on it until it is completely healed.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

If the skin is an area of secondary healing from injury, then you might not want to damage the skin anymore. An exam in person would be key.  Always best to ask your treating doctor.
