I would probably only want a temp tattoo right after surgery if it could cover up the scars.  But now that I think about it, probably wont work and it might make the healing process worse.  Ill probably just let them heal with time and then get laser.

Quote from: SpeedDialer on October 19, 2022, 08:29:01 AMYeah it sounds good, I'm sort of torn between tribals (which seem 'natural' or 'done before and not out of place' in a sense that tribal people would have them on themselves). Versus a more flower/vine/leaves approach. Mainly, I am trying to avoid a certain 'gang'-like look but I am not sure if flower/vine/leaves is really the answer or not


That is definitely not the answer.  That stuff is for girls and it won't make a good cover-up since it'll be all curvy.  Your scars are going to be linear, and you'll want the artist to put linework over them as opposed to shading.  A geometric tattoo design would make a better cover-up but they don't stand the test of time as well as tribals.  Maybe a geometric tribal or abstract geometric stained glass design?

You won't look like a gang member if you have tribals, you'll look like a frat boy d-bag.

I'm not familiar with femur LL scars or skin-color tattooing.

Are you happy with the tattoos you got? Ex: would you change anything, don't have to go into specifics if it is uncomfortable

For dating, I still see a small problem. I am just sort of thinking let's say someone gets internals for femurs and tibias and then gets tattoos on them to conceal them and then goes on a date

The problem is that some of the scars will be somewhat raised (I have some small linear scars that sort of like have a small raised bump under them) and someone on a date could feel that bump

What would you say if someone felt that bump under the scar/tattoo?

Medium had Lon if I'm not mistaken.  His scars are going to be way more visable than internals so thats probably why he went with tattoos.  Ideally your scars will just be thin white lines and if not revision surgery and laser could get you there.  Id be really careful with awkward random tattoos because its going to make you look worse.

Thin white lines that are obviously surgical in nature are still worth covering up, in my opinion.

Best to get the scar to be flat before tattooing.

Do you think laser can cover them up?  Or are tattoos really the only way.

What kind of doctors and procedures would you look into?

I have some linear femur LL scars that have small bumps under the linear scars.
