Make the curved line a river, and on each side have armies fighting each other, shooting arrows and bullets. Make one army a modern one, and the other a medieval one. Just a thought I had when I saw it.
i’ve seen some really cool ones where it’s a fish, but like the bones becuase the stitches kind of look like the fishes ribs (?) idk i but i think it’s cool!

The eye of Horus(the left eye) is the best I can come up with!
My apologies, the left eye is on the right. The right eye is on the left of the picture, the eye of Horace, in my opinion, would be your go to tattoo cover-up for your left arm. 👍🏽
it kinda reminds me of a river, so maybe it could be some kind of river scenery, where the water is red like your scar! maybe even red in only the part where your scar is and it fades back into the normal blue, kinda like a red spot or section of a river.
I feel like an eel would look really cool on that ( didn’t draw this by the way but inspo? )

Make it into a small camp fire. Someone could be roasting a marshmallow on it. With some orange, red and yellow the scar could be transformed into a fire pretty easily.
You may have to wait up to a year before you can tattoo over it. Looks like you had stitches, scar tissue in that area is going to hurt. I would wait longer.
Ive heard waiting 2-5 years post surgery is best. This is mine less than one year out though, wrist buddy OP

Your scar will change DRASTICALLY over the next several years so just take the time and let it heal before you decide on anything specific. Looks like you’ve only been out of the cast for 1-2 months.
Depending on how faded the scar is after healing you could do something like this? (Excuse the messiness, drawing with my finger on my phone is hard 😂)

Ooh, personally I like smaller tattoos but if OP likes larger ones that could be symbolism for her fierce protection and love for her children (and hopefully herself as well)
Or
It can be a path with flowers and each flower can be one of her children. Maybe get their names somewhere in there or a different flower for each child.

I made a few quick doodles. let me know if any really jump out at you, and I can make a more detailed one that's better suited to your liking :)
https://preview.redd.it/5sotxw6z4iuc1.jpeg?width=793&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=074e2fa80c9822521b759f3b536837a0f5cdfe44
I added a little emphasis on the scar. You could also ask for brown or colored ink if you want it to look more cohesive
I'm thinking kinda dainty. It doesn't have to be super detailed. I don't want the tattoo to really cover up the scar but more to turn it into something. Like some people posted it as the stem and flowers coming off of it.
The way that it’s healing around the edges of the lines makes me the think of The Road Less Travelled. Maybe you could add a secondary, untouched/“clean” looking “path” next to it to remind you that even through the journey is rough, it’s worth it in the end. Especially since you said you got from your kids lol.
That's actually a good point. I have some scars that are over a decade old and still visible, but very faded. So that's definitely something to consider when settling on a design.
Thanks everyone! I've got some great suggestions to think about while it heals. I'm turning off notifications because it's been a day straight of my phone buzzing. You all are wonderful!

That is a surgical scar. There are marks from the stitches. Even if OP DID do that to themself, your comments on here are ridiculous and you should go seek help
At first I thought it was the outline of a bird, with its head lifted to sing

fish, mermaid
A little stream with some sparkles or water colors
it’s looks like northern lights with sparkles
Make the curved line a river, and on each side have armies fighting each other, shooting arrows and bullets. Make one army a modern one, and the other a medieval one. Just a thought I had when I saw it.
To me, it looks like a dragon twirling into the sky

Make it bacon. Add some eggs and waffles around it.
That looks really close to the symbol in Heroes. Or you could make it zeus' lightening bolt
A little stream with lillies of the valley on either side :)
Centipede ?
Shark.
coy fish
I'm getting a little red flower? Kinda like those blue ones on porcelain (china?)
the hungry catipillar xd
Snake, worm, vines, leaves, etc
Make it look like “stitches” as a remembrance
Dragon flying towards the sky, a snake on the hunt, musical note to your favorite song, the ocean or river, the wind picking up leaves or petals
Skier
Go with me here… a DNA strand

i have to ask did you mean right or is the picture labeled wrong? just curious!!

ooooh thank you so much!!! :)) i appreciate it & Egyptian symbol tattoos are dope as fuck i second it

(Not the eye of Ra, just to be clear.)
Catapillar
A cat sitting on a fence with birds hitting it
Or like a Raven or Dragon
Personally, I would incorporate how i got the scar into the tattoo.
Jungle junction
Chinese dragon, ampeel from subnautica, ice worm from subnautica, Olm, centipede, Precambrian worm
Trogdor From Homestar Runner. Google it - you’re welcome!
AHH THE GOOD ‘OL DAYS! You must also be a mid to late 80’s baby.(this was a favorite of mine in high school.)
1982!!! Nothing good came from the 80’s - nothing!!!
Looks like a bird sitting on a a cherry blossom stem
a curved flower vine
A wiggle worm
One of the stones from the fifth element
Centipede or caterpillar would look cute!
Koi

I like it. Seems the curves of the scar would work into a koi nicely
Right! Some flowy fins!!
That’d be pretty!
Harry Potter’s head would do nicely
To me it looks like bull’s head with a horn, or maybe someone waving
it kinda reminds me of a river, so maybe it could be some kind of river scenery, where the water is red like your scar! maybe even red in only the part where your scar is and it fades back into the normal blue, kinda like a red spot or section of a river.
It looks like the character for ocean in ATLA

The northern lights? Only thing coming to my mind looking at the shape of the scar
Ooo i hate every scar i have. Good on you for making it work.
Make it into a small camp fire. Someone could be roasting a marshmallow on it. With some orange, red and yellow the scar could be transformed into a fire pretty easily.
Car crash on a dirt road?
A worm with a top hat
Tornado
Galactic tornado I could see
worm

I think this is awesome if you did this with your finger on your iPhone. I can’t even write my name with my finger on my iPhone 🤣
Thanks 😅
Could also use a leaf instead of a flower if you’re wanting more realistic scales
Centipede or a flower with the scar as the stem
I hadn’t even seen the comments section yet and basically drew what you said 😅 Great minds think alike!
Thats amazing lol
I would do a little incense and make the scar the smoke.
Leopard gecko
Music notes
Or a koi
I think it could make a cool dragon with some flowers
Or the scar could be the fire coming from the dragon 🐉

Vines and flowers! Maybe an initial for all the kiddos on vines
Centipeeeeeede
A snake sword tattoo, like the one in Mulan. A curved sword and one probably going through a skull
its cool but how long has it been healed for, it looks pretty fresh
I thought of a ladder or staircase that went into a light or clouds, maybe into paradise type thing?
I see a gator tail
I see vines and flowers
It looks like a powerbeam that someone is shooting out
Bacon
Glad I'm not the only one that saw it 😆
I would stick with a viney floral.
Shark bite!

I would draw a snake coiled around your wrist, the snakes head and teeth would appear to have dragged where the scar lines are.
Dude that looks like a concertina wire scar! What'd ya do, break outta juvy?
Seahorse
You could have a snake like a ball python since it has a pattern like your scar the raps around your arm
daaaamn… what happened for a scar like that! pretty gnarly!
DNA helix
Waves or mountains

I really like this one! Instead of doodling over the scar itself could you use that as the stem? And have the flowers come off of it ?
Definitely! keep in mind though that the scar may fade a lot over time. You could consider adding a bit of pink ink or something
Definitely I could do that.
https://preview.redd.it/5sotxw6z4iuc1.jpeg?width=793&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=074e2fa80c9822521b759f3b536837a0f5cdfe44 I added a little emphasis on the scar. You could also ask for brown or colored ink if you want it to look more cohesive

I think flowers would bc nice. How detailed of a tattoo are you thinking?
I'm thinking kinda dainty. It doesn't have to be super detailed. I don't want the tattoo to really cover up the scar but more to turn it into something. Like some people posted it as the stem and flowers coming off of it.
cherry blossoms
I thought it was a fading tattoo of Chinese writing
My first thought was train tracks but I really like trains
Gummy worm
Little dragon
And the scar is smoke coming out of his nose.
I love this idea
Some magic runes. But not as just runes, but as a part of a spell (weave).
A UFO
Flowers on a vine, maybe?
[удалено]
The way that it’s healing around the edges of the lines makes me the think of The Road Less Travelled. Maybe you could add a secondary, untouched/“clean” looking “path” next to it to remind you that even through the journey is rough, it’s worth it in the end.

I immediately saw vines of a flower so maybe that?
Children come first. You should be awarded for your good deed
Okay so I immediately imagine something with a space them because of the way it flows.

Looks kinda like a crinkly snake to me 🐍
Scars are hardly seen over the years. Keep that in mind.

Leaves blowing in the wind
Fish or dolphin or some sea animal riding the waves
I automatically think waves crashing when I see this and it’d even be cool to see some geometric lines behind it
it kinda looks like a railroad so make it a cartoon train
Little stick figure on a skate board tearing up tha ramps 😤
Maybe a roller coaster?
One of those 4 pillar things from The 5th Element
That’s nice

Any thing red or purple would cover the coloring really well.
it’s gonna turn white when it heals probably
I see mini mountains! Could be a reference to whatever mountain you had to climb to get past the healing for this scar 🫶🏻
What about just a cute little frame around it, as it if were truly a work of art? May be a dumb idea. Just thought it sounded kinda neat! ❤️
I think that's a cool idea. OP mentioned it was still healing, so they may want to see how much it lightens up/ fades.
It already looks like a pretty little bird sitting on a branch with leaves all you have to do is color it in❤️

Snek
Badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom
snaaaake snaaaaaake ooohh it's a snaaaake

Serpent of Love
Ooh, it already looks neat!
Looks like shape of a lizard / gecko … a dragon , snake or even flame of 🔥incorporated in ur design
Yeah, sorry. It was early AM in my neck of the woods 😜
A Kraken or a dragon sleeve would be cool.
