What happens if you get a cut and then pick the scab?

Q: Just out of interest say you get a cut then pick the scab or cut the skin deeper and deeper each time you pick it or cut it again.Would it scar, go red? DetailsThis is just out of curiosity.

Can I just pick the scab from my tattoo?

Q: Ok. I had a small tattoo yesterday. It’s only my second one. It’s a star behind my ear. Basically, my nerves got the better of me, and I didn’t notice that the tattooist had done the wrong one before it was too late. He gave me a 6 pointed star instead of a 5 pointed star. I really like the way it’s so small and delicate, so a cover up isn’t really an option. I don’t want anything bigger over it, just my penta! And its going to be pretty impossible to turn 6 points to 5 without losing how delicate it is. I was wondering, if I leave it to scab over and then pick at it, I know it won’t all come off but maybe enough will to work the right star there instead? I know it might scar but I’d prefer to have a scar than this tattoo – a 5 pointer has a personal meaning, whereas a 6 pointer means nothing to me. I know the easiest way is a cover up but I’ve worked the drawing and it’s really not going to be an option I’m happy with.I know it’s easily covered but I want the right one!Any advice? xPs – can any of you tell me what you would think if you saw someone with a hexagram tattoo? It’s similar to the star of David, but the lines don’t overlap. What would you think it meant?

A: Did you ask for the one with the 6 points? You could have it removed or the same tattoo done over it in skin colour then try the other ear. Otherwise could you maybe put a small letter next to each point to represent something meaningful. I personally don’t think much of tattoos but yours is small and discrete so not too bad. I think it would be difficult to change 6 points to 5. Picking the scab may only need to infection as the colour has already been injected in
