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.

Can tattoos cause keloid scarring?

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.


What are these raised tattoos you see on pro athletes?

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).
