I have a bad tattoo that is bad. Without going into it too much, is it possible to cover the first photo, with something very similar to the second photo??

I think you will need to talk to several different artists to find the right one for the job. But it's possible it could be done IMO. I have several tattoos. Not all of them are great in retrospect. But I have finally found an artist that I love. He is very experienced in cover ups and explained to me what I need and how and why it should be done in such a way that makes me feel confident in our work together. I had step one done just a few weeks ago and am very happy.

I don't think your original tattoo is that bad. A good artist could enhance what you have and improve it.

Personally I want it gone and nobody is going to persuade me otherwise.
The photo is pretty shit but in reality, it is patchy , mishapen (I drew it myself, but the boy behind the desk traced the design wrong and it was consequently tattooed wrong... I didnt check because it was my first one and i was nervoud. My fault) also its upside down. Again my fault.
I know it could be enhanced but thats really not something im interested in.

Totally understandable. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.

I think your most important task is to find a tattoo artist that specializes in cover-ups. There's quite a bit of empty/negative space in the second tattoo, and they're going to be the ones who will be able to determine if that's a good choice for a cover-up.

Good luck! Post pictures of the "after". ^_^

I still say you should try some of the cream crap I told you about. Mmmm.. ~chemicals~.

It actually kinda fades the ink!

I looked into it and there were mixed reviews. Im not usre we get it over here anyway :/ I was MAYBE considering lasering but I hear thats even more painful than originally tattoing D:

[fuckering]

yeah, I wouldn't get it lasered either.

my friend used the cream stuff and it faded slightly... she's very very fair skinned, though.

Some places will use a topical numbing agent when they're doing removals. It's worth looking into... a few laser sessions will lighten it enough to give you better options for a coverup.

what is your icon of? is it from a tv show?

The book of that was amazing. I still never got the balls to watch the movie incase it ruined the book for me.

Cool, it sure does! His work is awesome.
The image on the right is just something I pulled off google. Obviously im not looking to copy it, but it was the nicest out of all the menhdi / mandala type images I could find as an example
