I just finished my second day on this piece. I really love it. Def feels weird in a way. Thankful I can’t see this stupid horse anymore. Going to need another go over once it heals but thrilled thus far.
I'd love to cover this with some peonies if possible but I'm not sure how covering colour works? It's also sort of big. Would it be better to get some laser on it first? It's about 3 years old and I'm not in a rush to get it covered but I don't think it matches my other tattoos very well and wanted to consult this sub. Let me know what you guys think!
Long story short: I misheard lyrics, and my tattoo artist made something up on the spot. Any ideas for a coverup?
22 now got this bad tattoo like 3 years ago but it effects everything I can wear in the summer and how I just do not wanna put on a swim suit or wear normal clothes! Ready to just get this covered up but I need help! I’ve tried looking online and don’t love all the just big rose or rose and butterfly coverups! HELP!!!!!
Advice needed!!
Wanted to get a half sleeve but this (got it on a whim) is making it hard to come up with a design I like so I've decided id rather just cover it up with the sleeve itself.
First pic was my first ever tattoo - done about 10 years ago (I know 😂).
I was thinking to add more to it for quite some time now and finally took the decision to do it right at the beginning of January.
It was a random decision - I have a friend that is a tattoo artist and got canceled that day so I took a spontaneous decision and covered that otherwise lost appointment.
Triangles - interconnected triangles symbolizing a trinity, not in a religious way, but as a balance to everything, that was the main point of the tattoo even 10 years ago.
After discussing this with the artist, we decided to give it more power in that direction (hence the brain and the heart on the scale) and the sword balancing them is both trying to remember that it’s quite easy to cut yourself trying to balance everything + the fact that I also have another tattoo done by him that contains a sword.
The other elements are purely decorative (the key for example, got a few questions about it that’s why I’m mentioning it)
I’m really pleased with gow it turned out, what do you guys think?
Any coverups I can do for this ungodly mess i have had on my arm for a year now?
Did this about a year ago. As it's healed, it's covering even better.
Am I tripping for thinking this could work? Wonky sketch but i think the idea is there.
Don’t care about how massive it is. He could be my little sweetie
Had about 10 laser sessions and want to get this covered with a religious themed tattoo? Is it possible? Should I go for a couple more sessions? Any suggestions on a religious tattoo idea to cover it? Thanks
Drunken tattoo I did on myself in a bad mental state and butchered it, for some reason I thought adding more butchered text would eventually make it look better.
I need ideas on what I could get done here, any tattoo I look at for inspiration is difficult to visualize as a functional cover up

hello reddit, i believe this is my first post lol.
i was given a tattoo gun when i was 15, and made some bad decisions. i honestly dont hate it, but it’s a little too “cute” and messy i suppose. im going to get the stars on my fingers cleaned up, but i really have no idea what to do about this section. i feel like i have room to work with since the lines are not very solid and pretty small, but i have no idea 🤷
i like stars (obviously lol) and spiky designs, swirly designs, i don’t know😅 open to any ideas!!

When I was 13-14 I would sh on my upper leg, I want to get them covered up but I’m not sure if the keloids are too big for it. Any advice from people would be amazing, I want them to be completely covered up and I’m not sure if it’s possible, also wondering what the price range would be.
I love this tattoo, I think it’s beautiful. However, I feel like as I’m getting older that the snake just doesn’t represent me anymore. Does anyone have any advice on how I could change or cover up the snake? Thank you!
I want to cover up a cover up... is it possible? What would be your strategy? I've thought about laser if my finances allow it but hoping for the best.
I have this raccoon tattoo on my forearm that I got when I was freshly 18. He’s cute and I get lots of compliments, but now that I have a plan for my arm, he’s not the right vibe. I’m considering removal but that sounds painful, expensive, and like it would be a long process. A full coverup would be difficult and would end up being larger and darker than my current one. I was thinking about reworking the bike into something else, but I’m not sure what. He’ll never be fully my vibe but I wanna get him closer. I go for a style that’s inspired by American traditional, but is more delicate. Any ideas would be appreciated!! (Even silly ones)
What you think about this?
