Back in '07 I had major back surgery from having scoliosis. Because of this I have a long, somewhat thick scar going down my whole back. Honestly, I'm not very happy with it because when it shows, I always get negative comments on it. One of my friends even said it looks like someone slashed a knife down my back.

Now, the question for you all:

Should I get a back tattoo to cover it up?

I'm not talking about a little one. I'm talking about my whole back. Originally, I was thinking about getting an animated looking koi fish later on in life. I am still undecided and I was wondering your opinions. Yes, I do plan to have a steady career in the future and I'm willing to be able to cover it up when needed.

Seeing that I'm the curious human being that I am...

Additional Questions:
+ How much pain will the tattoo process cause?
+ Will it hurt more or less since I have a scar?
+ What are your opinions on this specifically?
+ Has anyone had tattoo experience/experience with covering up scars?
+ Any artistic suggestions?

Please consider that I have a low pain tolerance, but am very determined about this.
Thank you all for your responses, suggestions, and opinions. <3
