People usually develop them between the ages of 10 & 30. Keloids usually occur at the site of skin damage (e.g., acne, burns, chicken pox, cuts, insect bites, piercings, surgery, tattoos, vaccinations).

Keloids often form due to the blunt force used by ear piercing guns. Tattoo guns would be unlikely to cause keloids because they just use a needle to distribute the ink in the skin.

If you're still unsure, ask your local tattoo parlor and they can give you any information you want to know about tattoos.
