Answer: Getting a tattoo after a tummy tuck Most patients can get a tattoo on the scar after a tummy tuck at about six months. If you notice that the scar is still changing or maturing, you may have to wait longer.

Answer: Tattoo and abdominoplasty scars Shannon,The short answer is to wait until your scar is completely healed (usually one year). You may find thta the scar is flat and no longer red around 6-8 months so this would be a safe time for you as well.Good luckDr T
