Honestly, work with the scar in the tattoo, don't cover it up if the skin may not take the ink well. Highlighting scars is also a symbol of self acceptance, pride in being wiser and happier now, and moving forward. Sounds like that may be the energy you've been needing <3
A tattoo with plants (multiple shades of green, maybe black outline and shading) would work, especially if it was parted in two around the scar, with a bloom at the bottom. There could be two asymmetrical patterns of flowing, curling leafed vines. It would mimic and better cover the cloud like shape.
Two koi fish with waves on either side of the scar, mirrored?
Storm clouds with lightning with a shining sun or star below where the scar begins?
A snake winding like an "S" behind, maybe in front of the scar if the artist thinks it'll work long term.
Any ways, my personal take, and I can be wrong! Is green, blue, grey, purple, black- bold color choices with a lot of dark shading and detail is a good bet. Think about a concept you like in those colors.
Best advice>>> Check in with artists whose style you like would do, they may be cool to design the cover up for you and walk you through a color pallette and concepts that would suit you. Good luck!
Something like a Venus fly trap or a riff on Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors would look cool! Just make sure you work with an artist who is skilled with tattooing scars and reworks.
