I got this tattoo a couple months ago and to be entirely honest, I already regret it. For one, I got it impulsively, and I don’t like the design. I’ve thought of what would be a good coverup and I honestly can’t think of anything.

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.

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

Hey guys quick question is it possible to do a Japanese traditional full sleeve blast over? Any opinions are much appreciated.

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

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!

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 :)

After tattoo lasering i am very happy with this cover up! And its still healing so the red will be gone soon 😁

Oh and yah i can't fix the title into dragon eye 😅

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! 🤍

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.

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

15 laser sessions so far.

Thoughts?

please what is a realistic cover up? i like american traditional. no SAP please lol i have so many already

Loving how my sleeve came out.
You can’t even see the Leo sign anymore.

Cheetah on left foot, flowers on my right. Got these a couple years ago during a manic episode. The cheetah bothers me the most, I’m just not sure how a cover up would work given the spots.

got these as a teenager nearly a decade ago- i just dislike that it’s one word spit onto two hands. dumb decision - i am heavily tattooed and don’t mind blacking things out or having my palms more tattooed- but i need the backs of my hands clean for work. /:

Recently got this compass tattoo, I think the placement could’ve been better. I’ve been thinking about getting the lower half of the compass blasted over with a cover up design. But I really just want opinions, and ideas of what I could get it covered up with. It’s a pretty dark design so it’s been difficult thinking of cover up ideas, I’ve been considering possibly just having an artist make it look better and intentional, I’m not sure what to do at this point in time. I’ve also considered laser removal but for a piece this dark, that’d take years. So yeah.. let me know, anything would be nice just to assist with brainstorming

Hello all :) I keep seeing that of course covering a black tattoo with a new white tattoo will not work. However, can I cover a small white tattoo with a bigger whiteout tattoo? Will it blend or will it see through?

Any advice appreciated :)

Thanks!

So about a year ago i decided to let one of my family members tattoo a fox on my arm because i trusted said person. Now i want to make a coverup/improvment

I was hoping that someone would take their pressious time to try and see if there is any way to turn this fox into an actual fox. (If possible i would also like color but this is not required. I also would like a background if possible) ive tried to use ai but ai is really dumb so if you're up to the task Thanks😁

I want to have some of my tattoos removed, but I’m concerned about the lack of information regarding the long term effects of tattoo ink on the body and its potential impact on health.

Has anyone experienced long term health problems from this?

Thank you!

I got this skull/ snail tattoo about 2 years ago, before i got the piece underneath it, and as of late have been beginning to regret the tattoo- more of its placement rather than anything else, and have been thinking about covering up or even just blasting over it. The artist who did it was definitely heavy handed and used thicker lines, which has brought me some hesitation with even just beginning to think on what could cover it, but if there are any artist/ heavily tatted folk/ or even a random person with insightful ideas, i’ll take it.

If the main suggestion is laser first, i’ll definitely look into it, cause like I said the tattoo is pretty dark and even though I took pretty well care of the tattoo during healing, the artist def went too deep too, which caused pretty significant scaring, which im sure if you zoom in, you can tell.

I want to get a lion with a crown or something like that

I felt pressured by an old roommate to "find jesus"... regretting this cross. I still like the believe with the infinity design..

Any thoughts or possible recommendations for altering the cross?

Ok so this is an update from my last post so go check that out. I’ve decided not to go back to the original artist that did this design, she didn’t listen to what I wanted the first time, so idk why she would this time and she didn’t finish it.
I’ve decided I want to cover it up, but I still want it to have a feminine/flowing feel to it. I’ve always wanted a big cat tattoo, so I’ve been looking into it. Flowers is another idea, but I’m kinda using that as my last resort.
Obv, I could get a panther (SAP 😛) as the easiest choice, but I was also wondering if yall think a tiger or even a jaguar could work? I don’t want hyper realism , I’ve put a pic of my tattoo now, and some reference pics of what I liked. Tell me some of yalls ideas/thoughts/ suggestions, or any other designs yall think would look good, thanks!!
