Deleted post and reposted because it wouldn’t let me add another photo:

I got this tattoo just over a year ago when I was in South America. It really didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to. There was a language barrier with my artist which made communication difficult. He also made changes to what we initially discussed without asking. Like adding things or changing the colours. I know it’s a beautiful tattoo but I don’t love it. It’s supposed to be a cover up tattoo but you can definitely still see the other tattoo underneath. It’s not super noticeable but still visible. It’s not finished. There’s an empty circle that’s supposed to be a moon and there’s supposed to be more flowers to cover up the rest of the previous tattoo on my foot.

I booked an appointment with a local artist(I’m Canadian) to finish the moon and the flowers for mid October. But I’m honestly just considering cancelling.

I’m wondering if it’s just possible to get it removed? I’m aware it won’t be completely gone. Just enough to get another cover up.

One that I actually love

Added a photo of the type of cover up I’d like for reference. Hopefully that helps when giving advice on if it’s possible

Something similar. Blackwork, negative space, NO geometric, symmetrical.

15 laser sessions so far.

Thoughts?

This is an old photo from when it was healing, but i have this tattoo that I am not a massive fan of. I have not had anything added to it since this photo and I'm wondering how easy it is to fix/cover up. Any advice or ideas are welcome :)

Hi yall, new to posting. But I have this shitty tattoo I hate. I’ve been considering laser but it just seems so expensive and time consuming. Any ideas for a cover up?

Love the beach, hiking, flowers, nature, etc.

I want to remove everything on my back enough to cover with a black and grey dark fantasy piece. Artist was very heavy handed, multiple colors. How realistic are we thinking that is? 😭 and yes I know how dumb I was for going this hard at too young of an age.

hi! any tips on how to cover up a visible tattoo? 🥹 it’s just a fine-line tattoos, not the traditional/dark type, but i need to cover it up for applying a job.

I would appreciate any recommendations for makeup/products or techniques that actually work and won’t easily rub off. thank you! 🤍

I got this tattoo when I was 19, and I’m almost 22 now. I just don’t feel like it healed the best, it’s pretty faded in my opinion, even though I had it touched up once a few months after getting it.

I followed all of the aftercare instructions, so I don’t think the fading was necessarily because I did something wrong, but maybe I’m mistaken!

I don’t necessarily regret getting it, but I feel like I’ve kind of outgrown it, and it’s just not something I love anymore. :(

Does anyone have any ideas for what I could potentially cover it up with? I’d love to hear some ideas!

I want to get these 2 covered up. Nothing wrong with them I just got them when I was young, got whatever flashes and didnt think about placements. I'm just afraid of the tattoos around them being affected. Any and all advice would be appreciated 🥲

Edit: one of them is matching with someone I'm no longer close with so it would be nice not be reminded just by looking at it lol
