Help me with my BIG tattoo cover up design!!!???
Hoping someone can fix this design for me... It's meant to be from elbow/beginning of forearm area to hand (bc my original cover up is was too small so bare with me) but the main issue I'm having with the design is the TREE in the middle that I want to use to connect the Wolverine Claws (scar cover up tattoo) and the Phoenix/Jean Grey (abuser name cover up tattoo, which will need to be made to fit my hand bc my artist says it's too small)
I like the photo of the DNA helix on the tree without the Phoenix and I like the rainbow leaves on the one tree, but I also want it to be on fire or have fire somewhere for the Phoenix/tail to emerge from? I would've even mind if the flame WAS the tail if that would help? Oh! And I want the "claw marks" to turn into the roots, but I can't blend it/make them look right/flow naturally!
Also IDK what to do with the black bar that's for the name cover up bc I can't really draw a "ribbon" and I also don't want the design to be "too feminine" so I kind of like the solid black bar or maybe a black smudge mark would look nice? Like I'm wiping his name off of me 😂
Anyway, I hope that someone can help me bc I suck a drawing and I'm only somewhat okay with Photoshop, but I'm not as good as I used to be with it. Any advice would be appreciated. Again, I want this to be a POWERFUL tattoo that has meaning without making it "girly" bc I'm a masculine person with a "woman's experience" I guess you could say 🥹
SORRY FOR THE PHOTO BOMB! I'M VERY OVERWHELMED AND TRYING TO GET ENOUGH IMAGES TOGETHER TO MAKE IT CLEAR WHAT I WANT/MAKE IT WORK!
