I have a very close friend who was in a horrible garage fire at 2 years old. he went through years and years of skin graphing and painful chemical scraping. he is an incredibly strong individual that has over 25 tattoos now! he says that they are painful but that he doesn't know the difference. Burned skin can be harder for the ink to absorb correctly and want to stay longer, but that just means you will have to touch-up more often than most. But other than that, there's no problem!!! Good luck!

Prayer for all the burn survivors.

I do wonder how scars + tats look, because it just will never be as smooth as "normal" skin. How do artists work with the scars, follow the lines/structure? Does anyone for that matter have pictures of this kind of work?
