it matters
It is unlikely though not impossible.
Avoid very heavy black work (tribal, Polynesian, Samoan, Marquesan) and maybe look to other types of Tattoo work.
It is very very rare that this may happen tattooing does not create what is known as a 'wet wound' (going beneath the layers of skin and creating a gash or slit in the skin which will ooze or bleed, scarification causes wet wounds for instance) and keloid is usually created by wet wounds.
If you are very prone to keloid scarring however I would do some serious research and ask other people with black skin to advise you.

How do you use kanolone?
For my keloid scarring treatments. It flattens over-raised scars, particularly keloids
What are these raised tattoos you see on pro athletes?
A tattoo is, by its very nature, a scar. The trick is to do as little damage to the skin as possible while applying the tattoo, so that the scar tissue that forms is minimal (sufficient to retain the pigment forever, yet not so significant as to cause a three-dimensional scar). When a tattooer "hammers" an area, it damages the skin sufficiently to cause 3D scarring. IT's a matter of training, knowledge of equipment, knowledge of skin, etc. There's also customers who habitually keloid (3D scarring- people of African descent tend to keloid, which is why some scarification practices of great beauty evolved in the African continent).
What is the best natural treatment for keloid scarring. I have read that there are quite a few herbal remedies do they actually work?
hi
How do you get keyloids?
You can develop a keloid scar (a scar that is harder and smoother, with raised tissue that is pink, red, or darker, than usual with normal scarring) from surgery, body piercing, or just scarring from accidental injury. A minor cut can result in keloid scarring, while the same type of cut on another part of the body, or happening at another time, might result in a normal scar. Some cultures encourage keloid growth on scars as decorative or symbolic skin adornment. Keloid growth can extend beyond the scar site. It is mostly collagen; keloids are not cancerous or pre-cancerous and are not contagious. Keloids can occasionally be itchy or painful.

Interested in being a plus size model but shoulders and thighs have surface scars from something called keloid scarring They can be covered up with make-up but will this hinder your chances?
Having marks from keloid scarring can make it challenging to become a model but not impossible. Your best bet is to do what you can to improve the appearance of your skin through certain skin care products, treatments and/or procedures. Once your skin is at its best then try submitting to modeling agencies and seeing what feedback you get.
