Your tattoo could be either fixed or covered depending on what your preference is. Its not a jacked up as you might think. You just really need to chose your artist better dont just check portfolios. Try to get in the shop and see some of his/her work when its being done. Some people are inconsistent. Regardless of the route you choose there will be a lot of black involved.
Is Southside where you got the original tattoo?
No, I went here: http://www.galactictattoos.com/index#!__index/gallery/vstc1=al
Did you even see their gallery before going there???
Seeing how difficult it has been contacting Pangburn for the past month (its been like pulling teeth trying to arrange this…) I have to assume he isn’t confident about doing it or just doesn’t want to so I’m thinking its time to start searching again.
I’m thinking about going with an adjustment rather than a full blown cover up.
Or have you kept going back and forth with him as you have here?
I’ve tried calling several times and no one ever answers, even though I then hear the answering machine say that I’m calling within their hours.
I’ve contacted him through e-mail and he’s told me that my desire to keep it symmetrical will be difficult, which I responded to I’d like him to try but if it turns out he can’t I’d still like to see what he can draw up. I’ve asked him pretty much every e-mail how I can pay him so he can start the sketch and he never replies…It now takes him weeks to reply and I often have to resend e-mails.
I’m not sensing much enthusiasm.
Well, imho, therein lies the problem. Rather than simply booking an app’t to get it done, you’re dancing around it and asking him to sketch something up and so forth. The sketch is typically done the day of your app’t, as the artist really needs to have you there in person to get an idea of how the piece will flow on you – but it’s even more important in the case of a coverup where the artist has to work w/ something that is already there. If you haven’t already burned this bridge, my advice woudl just be to book the app’t already and move forward. None of the really good artists are likely to have patience for this “well, I don’t know ….” If you go to another sh*tty artist, you could end up w/ a piece just as bad off or worse than what you already have. If it were me, I’d be anxious as hell to do anything to get that thing covered up ASAP.
