I know a half-Chinese, half-Filipino male with a tendency toward keloid formation who's interested in getting a first tattoo. What tattoo experience and advice do you have for him regarding the likelihood of developing a keloid at the tattoo site?

Suggestions for, experiences with, treatments for keloid scarring? Especially in Bay Area, California. This is for my foster son (biracial, black), who has scarring on his ears associated with pierced ears. We're meeting with a plastic surgeon at SF General, but surgery is not supposed to have a very high success rate for keloids. (The internet says injected steroids and pressure clips.) Also, his medical coverage is MediCal.
