I didnt know that was down either till a couple weeks ago

So what does the tattoo look like though? I'm thinking it would probably cover the redness but what about the bumps? For those of you who have tattoos over their kp, do you notice the bumps on ur tattoos? Are the kp bumps colored to the same color of ur tattoo??

My tattoos are purple (on purpose) and smooth. I have one on the back of my shoulder and one on the back of my neck. My brother also has KP and he's has 3 - one on upper arm/shoulder, one on his neck, and another on his forearm. He's had no problems with any of them. He gets bumps on his back, chest, and legs.

Also tattoos are great for hiding or getting rid of scars and stretch marks.

yes but be warned apparantley tattooing over a scar can not work out, ive heard in some cases the ink cant go on properly and just goes into a mess
