A member asked:

Can you get tattoes over surgical scars if they are not keloids?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: After the scars have healed enough (ask your artist what they recommend), one can tattoo over the scar. Scars do not hold pigment as well as normal skin area so expect to need a touch-up or two before it looks perfect.
