Yes, though there are a few things to consider when getting a tattoo over a scar.

First, the scar must be at least 1 year old before you get the tattoo. This will give the scar enough time to have completely healed and regenerated before attempting to cover it.

Second, to hide a scar it is better to have a busy pattern covering the scar than a solid color. For example, a wing design over a scar will hide the outline of the scar by detracting the eye from the scar. However, a solid tribal piece will let the scar show through and will not accomplish the goal to hide the scar.

Finally, a scar may not take the ink as well as normal skin. You might need to come back for another session to get a solid fill over the scar.
