Does anyone know the impact of injury on a tattoo?

My daughter sincerely wondered about this when she saw a man with tattoos riding a motorcycle. I honestly couldn't answer her and appeal to those who may have more knowledge. If someone gets a bad scrape does the tatto stay in tact after the scab heals or is the design altered?

    Depending on the damage, that tattoo can become VERY different looking. They can most certainly get scaring over them and they can stretch or become faded depending on how deep the impact is.
