A [Google Image search for tattoo over scar](https://www.google.nl/search?q=tattoo+over+scar&hl=nl&safe=off&tbo=u&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=vo0OUZ6pDvCV0QXgt4CoBw&ved=0CEgQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=979) gives more examples. But none as pretty as the one in the OP.

Although I like [this one](http://tattooroadtrip.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Csection-scar-flowers-ba.jpg), and [this one.](http://data.whicdn.com/images/7360978/mastectomy%2520scar%2520tattoo_large.jpg)

In the above image search is also this [image of a man, a survivor of being struck by lightning, with a scar on his back made when the lightning struck him](http://205.243.100.155/frames/human_LF2.jpg). It looked kind of beautiful, so I clicked on it to see if it was an accident or purposefully made.

It led to this [fascinating page on Lichtenberg figures](http://205.243.100.155/frames/lichtenbergs.html); the shape of lightning. Enjoy!

Sorry have to say this - it’s a bunny. Sorry that did not come out right: it’s a BUNNNY!!! squeeeeee

😕

Are we talking about the one in the OP? If it’s a bunny, it’s one of those short round ear bunnies with long fluffy tails.
