SA warning/tattoo cover up

i have this giant tattoo, similar to the one attached, on my thigh/ass but i want to cover it up. i got the tattoo when i was 19 from an artist i had been to twice, once with my parents and once with a friend. during the second visit with my friend, during her tattoo i was looking through some art work of the artist and he told both of us that if we found something wr liked he would tattoo it for free as long as we let him choose the color palette and placement. as two 19 year olds this was a fucking steal, so we each pick out a design, since he’s already tattooing her he just does her design right there. i make an appointment to come back. when i come back im by myself but i know an apprentice that works at the shop so they sit in on the first half of the tattoo. after the linework we take a break, i go to the bathroom but im the first one back in the room. again the tattoo is on my ass so my pants are off during the tattoo, my privates are covered only by underwear BUT THAT SHOULD BE FINE. psych.
the artist is the next one in the room and he shuts the door and locks it really quickly before the apprentice comes back in. idk why but they never come back to the door. the artist locking door did raise the silent alarms in my head but i didn’t really react. we got back to tattooing, about 15 minutes in, im wearing headphones, laying on my side with him behind me tattooing away. (this is the first time im writing all of this out. this all happened in 2019, please be kind) im not going to get graphic but he assaulted me with his fingers and with his penis all while he was tattooing me. i couldn’t move, i could leave, i didn’t scream. i just let him. when he was finished abusing me, he changed his gloves and finished my tattoo. i’ve wanted it covered up ever since and that’s why i need help finding an artist! if u or someone u know does cover up work comment please.
thanks for reading <3
