This is from a shop in the bay area. I covered up three large pieces on my forearm plus shoulder cap. This is supposed to be neo traditional japanese dragon + koi sleeve going into half chest. It seems way too dark and looks like a blackout sleeve from a distance. The koi scales have faded down to zero definition. I am extremely insecure of the poor execution. I understand coverups are difficult, I'm just disappointed at myself for not making the right calls on what I wanted and it resulted in this jumbled mess. Any suggestions on possibly fixing or should I laser this for the next 5 years? Lol
