Q. Does It Hurt?
A. Of course, but it's really a question of how
badly, isn't it? Tattoos hit the same nerves that

as bad as they expected.

Q. Can Tattoos Conceal Stretch Marks Or Scars?
A. Yes, but to a varying degree of success. Due
to the nature of scars and stretch marks, there
can be differences in the color of a healed
tattoo. The texture of the skin will not be
changed by a tattoo; thus, some of these marks
will still be visible but may be less noticeable.
