It doesn’t look terribly dark or terribly big that works in your favor. A good artist will be able to give you ideas. In general it helps to go bigger and darker/more colorful in order to hide the original lines.

You can cover it with this

No fer reelz a skilled tattooist will be able to cover that with just about anything you want.

You’re lucky, this can be covered with whatever you want. An anvil, rose, octopus, a mean eagle, some buddhist thingie or an even bigger kanji.

What about an octopus holding a rose and an anvil and like six other things?

Honestly, I think that’s a terrible idea, Bert. It’s far too subtle. Nice try, though.

I don’t know if all of that would cover this tattoo. He needs to get this tattoo just to prove it to me.

It should totally have a swastika on his forehead to truly represent new beginnings and luck.

So an octopus with eagle wings, swastika on his forehead, holding a rose, an anvil, maybe a candle, a cross, a dildo, a skull, Nemo, and an infinity symbol.
Just so you got everything covered.

Assuming that the octopus has eight arms of tribal, that should just about do it!
