About to get tattooed on my arm, just noticed I have fresh scratches there by my cat.

This might be a silly question but where I'm about to get tattooed, (in 5 days) my cat has scratched me. It's not deep or anything. Can the tattooist still go ahead and tattoo over the scratch marks? Here's a photo:

purple circle, scratch that has already scabbed up.

red circle fresh ones but they're not deep at all. a bit raised and red.

I would send that to the shop and ask the tattooer. I would be surprised if it was a problem, given how superficial they look, but the guy or gal doing the work would know best.
