i think that is some asian myth. they say dont eat seafood after a fresh open wound as it makes the scar darker. i dont know how much merit it has, tho i ate hella seafood after foot surgery and my scar is hella dark…

Asians have more of a tendency for keloidal scarring.

There is a certain amount of mercury and iodine in seafoods. I’m assuming that the mercury doesn’t help shit and from what I’ve read, iodine in amounts more than the body needs can clog pores when being excreted.

great answers

personally i dont believe there any problem with it…….. i live by the sea on the coastline of kent, its actually a fishing village, most my clients are seafood lovers and nobody has had any problems upto now 😉

probably shouldn’t rub the seafood on the tattoo directly.
