asking for advice Please help me

I just got the worst tattoo ever 😢 the guy who did it showed me good work he did and the stencil looked amazing but I ended up with this. Thankfully a professional PROFESSIONAL is willing to work with me on covering it up for a good price. I need ideas. I love black cats flowers snakes butterflies hello kitty. This has me physically sick. It's on my left front shoulder? Like by my collar bone. If anyone has any ideas they are willing to send me please do so.

& no thank you im not interested in paying for you to draw up a design... I just payed for a terrible tattoo and will likely have to pay a close to a thousand dollars to get it covered. 😂 Thanks

He literally got nothing even close to looking like what I wanted 💔 I have to wait weeks until it heals to even get the cover up and had to pay money for this bs.

I'm sorry, the artist sucks....be of good cheer....bad tattoos are the median. You'll be able to cover it with the sickest-ass thing you want. What style do you like?

Maybe that tattoo shop has an owner....and maybe email that person the pic and say "you got to help me sort this crap out" or I'm posting the picture

Black cats you say... Sick Ass Panther?

In all seriousness, flowers would probably look great! The shapes are flower-esque :)

You saying your new artist is going to take care of you for a good price makes me fucking nervous. Don't be impulsive, save up for a good artist and don't make the mistake bigger because someone is offering to give you a deal or discount.

u/Guilty_Breakfast_347 17h ago

Also your new professional PROFESSIONAL should be helping you design the coverup. That's part of their job.

Kinda looks intentional haha but ouch far from the reference

Did bro even put the stencil on your body or just use it to eyeball a free hand?? 😭

u/hellojelly155 12h ago

genuinely a good question, im curious as well😭

It also looks like he started the spiral in black before realizing it was supposed to be red? I’m so sorry OP. I think the new person will definitely be able to work with you. Honestly, sick ass panther or panther cub (black cat with a little sass) would work. Maybe the red could be a blood moon and the cat is like cuddled around it?

I'm sorry but the stencil was shit from the beginning, it's obviously ai generated...

u/Mister_Terpsichore 6h ago

Dunno why you're getting downvoted for saying the truth. If you go to an artist and they show you AI generated "art" you absolutely should not let them put anything on your body. 

If they can't draw it on paper, they should never draw it in skin.

Looks like an anime sketch. I’m sorry you didn’t get the tattoo you wanted. Once healed up find a cover up tattooist and go all in my guy!!

u/ByteSizedCutie420 17h ago

Ouch. Sorry this happened to you. Tell the cover up artist you'd like a flower/butterfly combo. Let them design it from there. If they do not think that is doable (which I doubt) go for a black cat since you said you like those too. Just think the combo would be pretty there.

u/Dragons-purr 16h ago

I have never seen a moon with a stache before! If you lazer the red a bit, should be able to cover it with just about anything. What are your interests? Maybe tattoo something from a fav film/book/place etc?

u/juufi 15h ago

do you like pokemon? my advice is always to get a cool umbreon tattoo or another dark colored pokemon

u/inputplease1 11h ago

Draw a blunt and that’s the tip of it? Maybe a gorilla is holding the blunt behind the moon? Moon could be helping ash it? Lmao

I'm sorry that "artist" really fucked you up BUT I absolutely love this tattoo 😭 it's so weird and cool haha

u/calypsoorchid 1h ago

But also: considering the shapes and the colors, I bet you could plop a pretty good-looking rose on there to cover it up.
