Yes scars can be tattooed over as long as they are fairly old and have faded. It doesn't hurt anymore than the surrounding skin and the ink stays within the scar tissue virtually as well as normal skin.

be carefull depending on the type of scar they should be at least 3 years old for risk of re-opening a semi closed wound...
