20 C-Section Scar Tattoos That Are Absolutely Perfect

There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of about a c-section scar. You earned that belly line, and you should wear it with pride! But we totally get not being happy with a scar across your belly. Or any scar, for that matter. Luckily, there are tattoos for that (if that’s your thing)! These c-section scar tattoos are stunning, and a great way to decorate the permanent reminder of the bad-ass mama you are!

1. C-section scar tattoos just add a little color to the beautiful scar you’re rocking.

Ok, first of all, that’s a pretty scar. But the feather on top is gorgeous.

2. Flowers are a popular choice.

Something about giving life to something beautiful.

3. Just a little decoration for where her little butterfly emerged.

Just because the tattoo is meant to cover-up a scar, doesn’t mean it has to end at the scar.

We personally think c-section scars are beautiful. Just like stretch marks, post-nursing boobs, and all of the other childbearing battle wounds we wear. But for women who don’t like their scar, c-section scar tattoos can mean the difference between being unhappy with their tummies or finally looking down with a smile.
