The meaning of tattoos deviates from country to country and from person to person. For few, they’re simply a fashion statement, while for others, like the Maori tribe, they have spiritual reasons for why they wear them. Many people get them as keepsakes from a particular period or person. In some instances, though, people prefer to get tattoos for completely different reasons, such as secreting scars.

We designed this list for our readers, which you can observe for yourself. Some designs cover scar tissue completely, while other designs work skillfully with them, transmutation one of the most unsightly aspects of the body into something truly magnificent. I’d love to apprehend what you think of these picture images or designs.

Ideas for Hiding Scars

•  Lizard Design On Waist

A lizard is a great option to hide the scars given that it is longer. Any design that is longer might be able to hide scars better than other kinds of designs. You can add colors to this design or keep it black and grey shaded. It is a cool option to explore even though it might just eek you out sometimes!

• Phoenix Design On Near Wrist

I like this phoenix design because besides being beautiful in general, it has a lot of significance. Especially if you have gone through tough times, the phoenix tattoo will help you forget and recover from the darker periods in your life. It signifies growth and strength that you might get inspired from.

• Rose Design On Thigh

The script design is quite cool because of many reasons. Besides the aesthetics, you can also write something which might be cool for you and inspire you in many ways. Here, you can have a lot of options to choose from. The wearer has also added the rose flower which looks super pretty and adds color to the normal design.

• Tree Design On Forearm

This design has covered the arm which looks pretty nice. It is added with a beautiful color pattern but the black and grey area of the design has hidden the scar part of the design. This design has beautiful butterflies which represent growth and many things beautiful. I think adding your scars with such a design is a great step.

“Kepp Moving forward” is quite an apt quote when hiding your scars which might represent some bad aspects of your life. You can add beautiful colors to your design that will give it great aesthetics besides being meaningful. Scar tattoos are rather personal and would be a great step.

If you have lighter scars you can go for such a simplistic and minimalistic design that would bring out the inner self inside of you. I think it is a pretty nicely designed one with simple black ink. You can keep it on the simpler side if your scars are not too prominent or can increase the intensity of the design by adding colors.

• Flower  Design On Forearm

You can see a star difference here in this picture. The wearer has been successfully able to transform the scar-filled hands with the beautiful shaded black and grey rose pattern. It is a great design as the rose represents a lot besides just being a flower tattoo. It shows the beauty of life and love.

When you have bigger scars, you can go inf or design that might be a bit bigger in space and design.

Instead of covering the scars, the wearer has made a smart move with this one. It is a great design that you can also make if you want to work strategically with your design. I like this design because the wearer is not afraid to show off the scar too and the tattoo acts as an addition to the history.

• Rose Design On Arm

The rose is always a great idea to cover the scars because it has deep significance attached to it.
