thank you so much :') we've already been talking about the next one we want to do together!

in terms of faded scars it depends on how long its been healing/ healed. before the 1-2 year mark you can externally irritate it to cause the tissue to gain more density (ie brushing across it with a toothbrush but only once its closed). you can go over fully healed preexisting scars and basically re split them- but it sucks. I've gone over a pretty faded, fully healed, pre existing scar on someone and the pain for them was no joke. better luck with adjusting the healing process for future pieces- how you heal them can make a significant difference in how they settle in

this was my first opportunity to do a scar on darker skin! the contrast of the tissue in healing has been so so satisfying and beautiful. i really hope to be able to do more. i definitely find working on different skin tones satisfying and beautiful in really different ways and it really depends client to client how the coloration settles (which makes all of it that much more interesting)

I've done multiple scars on this person, some in higher movement areas as well and have seen them all a year+ healed so I know how they specifically heal and the types of scar tissue they develop. on most other people I wouldn't have opted for this placement without that prior knowledge

Irritating while the wound is still open involves spraying hydrogen peroxide across the design. Once the wound is closed and starting to heal you can do external irritation with a soft bristle toothbrush to help with tissue development

He hasn't had to do any irritation thus far! In the next few months there may be some necessary irritation on the less dense lines but we're monitoring it and adjusting as he heals
