It would be best to speak to your doctor about it. The best way to avoid keloids is to not get piercings or tattoos. But if you really want one, consult a doctor first.
A tattoo on your ankle should be fine, but keep in mind it is very possible for one to develop as tattoos are damaging/injuring the skin.
yes evil monkeys will come out of your skin and remove the tattoo
yes,i have some
Yes. Although the darker your skin is, the less vibrant the color will be.
Not if the tattoo is healing normally e.g. no pus, oozing, or broken skin. If your tattoo IS looking sore, don't risk it until it has completely healed.

yeah it does a little
Generally yes, depending on your keloid condition, of course....Many folks keloid as they are getting the tattoo, but it will always heal flush with the skin...Hope this helps
There is no history to a keloid, its a disorganised structure of skin cells that cover an area of damaged tissue (skin) in order to protect the body.
keloid...
No. The keloid is an alteration of the healing process, so it only can appear in injured skin.
My sister has keloids. She had a tattoo to cover her keloid. It looks fine.
keloidKeloid is an excessive hypertrophic scar.
it matters It is unlikely though not impossible. Avoid very heavy black work (tribal, Polynesian, Samoan, Marquesan) and maybe look to other types of Tattoo work. It is very very rare that this may happen tattooing does not create what is known as a 'wet wound' (going beneath the layers of skin and creating a gash or slit in the skin which will ooze or bleed, scarification causes wet wounds for instance) and keloid is usually created by wet wounds. If you are very prone to keloid scarring however I would do some serious research and ask other people with black skin to advise you.
A tattoo is, by its very nature, a scar. The trick is to do as little damage to the skin as possible while applying the tattoo, so that the scar tissue that forms is minimal (sufficient to retain the pigment forever, yet not so significant as to cause a three-dimensional scar). When a tattooer "hammers" an area, it damages the skin sufficiently to cause 3D scarring. IT's a matter of training, knowledge of equipment, knowledge of skin, etc. There's also customers who habitually keloid (3D scarring- people of African descent tend to keloid, which is why some scarification practices of great beauty evolved in the African continent).
it should be fine, just take good care of it.
The tattoo is on your skin. If your skin stretches, so will the tattoo.
it effect people with keloid skin the most and im only 13 so that is just my oppion because that skin type is more delicate then other skin type for ex:if keloid skin get a cut it will scar badly or some times perminatley so that is the reason why i said that.
