Tattoos are becoming more and more popular. It's probably harder to find a person with no tattoos than a person with them. Many people "get inked" because they find it beautiful or because they want to have a meaning, idea, or memory on their body forever.
Another reason that is often forgotten is getting tattoos to hide body imperfections, like scars or birthmarks. That is what this Vietnamese tattoo artist helps people with: feeling beautiful and happy in their bodies.
"My passion is all about tattooing over scars, burns, birthmarks, or any imperfections on the bodies. I believe that a well-done, beautifully constructed tattoo will not only change a person’s image but also lift their confidence and overcome insecurities," the artist told Bored Panda.

I love how she incorporates the texture of the scars to give the design contours. AMAZING work!
That feather is great. You would never know that this is a scarred area underneath.
Did I mention how beautiful it was after as well? Love the choice of colors!
I love the way these designs change the viewer's perspective away from the scarred areas.
The detail on that fish and the waves make this truly a work of art.
Am I the only one who wants to know the story behind the scars? Was this woman attacked by a shark? To me, the scars are just as beautiful as the tattoos, with their illustration of survival. Both are beautiful
I actually thought her bellybutton was a tattoo of an eye lol.
It looks like many of these scars are from injuries or surgeries. In my opinion, these folks are survivors. These tats could be seen as celebration of their healing.
I had a lumpectomy a couple of years ago. Beforehand, I started looking at tattoos to cover it. But, I had an amazing surgeon who left me without any scar. At the risk of being graphic, he managed to cut into the areola and you can't even tell I had surgery. So, no tattoo.

Get your doctor to give you a prescription for EMLA cream. It's a topical anaesthetic that stops sensation in the area for two to three hours. I used it getting all of my ink, and it really works.
