Is it safe to get a tattoo over a major scar on my back?

<body><p>I've got a scare from surgery on my spine that spans the entire length of my spine. The operation was done over seven years ago and I've never had problems with it opening or with infection. Would it be safe to have a tattoo done over the whole thing?</p> <p style="text-align: center">[embed]http://www.flickr.com/photos/juliajohansen/4965541338[/embed]</p> <p>I too have a surgical scar on my back - the tattoo artist I talked to said you cant tattoo over a scar but can tattoo around it to disguise it</p><img src='https://f23a01jl86hb5tf8w81dv8unbp.hop.clickbank.net/' width='1' height='1' /> </body>
