This is a simple answer really, when this happens to tattoos it is your body telling you it is dehydrated, your skin shrinks and the scarring will always stand proud of untouched skin like any scar would.

thats great to know! sometimes i notice mine seems raised up a little and i always wondered why! thank you for that info!

not bad at all. i got my lobes done once, then my cart. then another lobe. truthfully i thought the lobes pinched worse. its just a pain in the butt not to sleep on that side of your head. i think i was like 10 when i got my cart. done

i dont think its too young. i was that age when i got mine done. then a year later i got an inverted navel to go with it. i still have both of them and im 20 now. personally, i dont have a problem with it at 14. its not like you have to have it forever, you can always take it out. but i did the deal thing with my parents. i acted mature and struck up a deal and got it done…. my mom signed and went to sit in the car, she couldnt even be in the shop lol.
