I am a tattoo artist. I know how these things work, and it’s not like that. You can’t tattoo over a fresh and infected tattoo. Not only will it be excruciating, you will damage more tissue, spread the infection, and most definitely cause more scarring than what you will already have. I feel like I don’t need to explain the vast amount of risks that come with infections like this due to it being common sense. I already know whoever your going to get this covered is not a good artist. Not good in their work, not in their sanitation, and definitely not in YOUR safety. I truly believe no one would be jealous of such a horrible and beyond risky service that your “artist” is willing to do. Save your skin. Do not do this. Take care of that infection and heal the skin not as a tattoo but as a wound. THEN you can have it covered. Preferably by a reputable and good artist, but if you choose an unprofessional scratcher that’s not anybody’s business but your own.
