Steroid injections for keloids vs cover: treat height first
Keloids are active scar growth, not just colour. Steroid injections (and other medical options) address bulk. Makeup can cover temporarily. Tattoo camouflage on active keloids is usually avoided.
Medical first
See a dermatologist for keloid care. Intralesional steroids, pressure, surgery protocols — not a tattoo studio decision. Related: keloid scars and tattooing.
Temporary cover
Makeup and clothing help for photos. Texture still shows in side light.

Tattooing into keloid-prone tissue can worsen or fail. We will decline politely and point you to medical care.
