Hello everyone. About a year ago I got some tattoo work done that went terribly. I then decided to get the tattoo covered up, and that went even worse. So, then I decided to just get it removed via laser treatments. I went through 5 sessions and saw some results but I ultimately decided it wasn’t worth the price and the pain. So, now I’ve decided to get it covered up once again and, hopefully, incorporate the cover up into a larger, good looking sleeve.
I’ve been racking my brain thinking of different ways to cover it up and make it still look decent. So far, the only idea I’ve had that I kinda liked was to make it look a black cloud (since the tattoo is already pretty dark) and then getting a scene underneath that involves the black cloud.
Anyway, I was wondering if there any artists here who would like to help out with a potential design. If anyone’s interested let me know and I’ll send you some pictures of my arm. I’d even be willing to pay for your time and effort.
I love tattoos but I’ve just had terrible look in getting them. All I want at this point is a decent looking tattoo that I’m not horribly embarrassed to show off. Is that so much to ask?
Thanks in advance.
First off, is that Dayton Ohio? If so, I can recommend a shop that’s good for cover ups.
Second off, without a pic of this monstrocity, we ain’t going to be able to help you worth a damn. So, pics please!
Love. Peace. Metallica.
Dayton, Ohio indeed. The Gem City baby!
Anywho, I’m going to wait a week or so to post pictures. I want to wait for my arm to heal from my last laser session which was last Thursday. I also need to get access to a digital camera….
what’s the shop you are going to suggest?
Lambadi City up in Fairfield. The shop owner, Troy (who’s done all my ink, check out my album), has done some pretty wicked coverups before. I’ll PM you their address and phone number if you’re interested.
You could also try Permanent Productions down by UC. My buddy Jacob just got a pretty killer piece of cover work there, enough to give me some serious ink envy, but I can’t promise that the quality of their work is consistant as I’m not as familiar with them as I am Lambadi City.

Knighthawk, thank you very much for the suggestions. I’m going to check this place out ASAP.
I’m still going to post a picture of my shitty tattoo when I get the chance just to see if anyone else has any suggestions. The sad thing is that I am so embarrassed by this tattoo that I’m even nervous to post it here for a bunch of people who I’ll (most likely) never meet.
*shrugs*
Dude, we’ve all seen real dogs of tattoos before, and generally speaking, I’m the only one who’s dick enough to actually say “Dude, that thing fucking sucks!”….and since you know that already, I’m not likely to, and I can promise everyone else here will be kind. So go head and post it my man–we’re here to help each other, and stroke each other’s Ink Egos.
😀
Love. Peace. Metallica.
