It will depend on what kind of scar you have, keloid, hypertrophic, contracture? Do you scar easily? Is your family prone to scarring easily? This is usually hereditary, and causes alot of grief for people, especially those who are genetically predispositioned to scarring because this makes them less than good candidates for tattooing.

Also, ink sometimes has trouble of staying put in/on a scar and may require a few sessions until the correct coverage is achieved. A good artist knows this already and will fit that into the price. If they dont mention it, dont sit in their chair until you are certain that this scar cover project is just that, an entire package or with set prices for future touch ups if and when needed.

Covering up birthmarks, or skin discolorations in general are quite common. Covering scars is also done quite a bit but dont trust this to a novice artist. Find someone who you can check his work on previous cover-ups and the lasting results do matter so try and see people well after they have had the work done to see how the ink set. Of course the people you look at should have had similar needs to yours in the type of scarring and area to be treated.
