I've thought about this. the only problem is that the ink doesn't really take all that well on the scar tissue

after your scar heals up for the most part a tat should blend in fairly decent.. i have one on my shoulder that used to be a huge scar from a bmx crash when i was younger and it turned out really good. it just took a while to heal before i got the tat

I tried a few of the creams, They're ok. I found massaging the scar once it had healed very beneficial, it stimulates blood flow and i noticed it softened up the scar alot.
As for tattooing the scar i wouldn't. I'd come close to it and maybe hide it that way, but if the skin of the scar is thin from stretching after surgery i wouldn't let a tattoo gun anywhere near it (I have Tattoos, so its not like im biased) So yeah, i'd stick to a cream and massaging it. I have head that Mederma is a good product and works well. Other than that, having another surgery is the only other way to get rid of a bad scar. Even then you will still have a scar, only much thinner. The scars i have from a plastic surgeon no one can see unless i point them out where my others from regular surgery are noticeable.

massage the scar often which should keep it from swelling out permenantly and yoiu could try udder cream, yes its for cows but it does wonders on stretch marks etc.
PS if going to put a tat on it wait till it heals or the ink will run. or so i have been told.

Tissue takes time to reorganize and settle down. You can occupy your time with various things...massage, creams, cold laser etc but in the end tissue needs time to reorganize. When sutured minimizing tissue tension, careful apposition of tissue edges and the type of suture used helps to minimize the width of new tissue. In the mean time avoid UV radiation as it will delay tissue organization.

Vitamin E, zink and when a model rocket blew up in my brothers face, I believe the doctor prescribed a cream containing silver nitrate or silver some thing. Cant remember as that was 30 years ago but he ended up with no scaring.
