    Alright, so just before this last Christmas I was doing a bit of wandering in Europe, and I ended up in Sweden. Very long story short, I was staying with a really cool lady and her kids, and we went to go hang out with the ladies sister and drink remarkably cheap german beer (I bought a flat for 15 bucks CANADIAN!) so suffice to say I was outstandingly shitfaced in record breaking time…
    I woke up the next day with a pirate tattoo on the top of my right forearm… it’s impossible to hide, and apparantly I drew it myself.

    It looks like garbage,but I refuse to have it removed because I think tattoo removal is just lame. I have 3 other tattoos, and I want sleeves, but I need to do something with this one. I don’t have a picture just yet, but does anyone out there think that if I sent them a picture of it, they could like… figure out how to make it looks a helluva lot better so I have something to go to an artist with other than my ugly base tattoo and no ideas?

    O Sweden… I’ll never go back…:rolleyes:

    oh man….. wellll, if you want sleves, you could ask the artist about coverup. have him put somethin over it. or somehow incoro=porate it into your sleeve.

    Hi

    First of all the artist needed a hiding for tattooing somebody under the influence of alcohol.

    That said you have 2 options;

    A cover up by a large tattoo is possible although have to go dark over the eyes and mouth.

    The other option is to get that reworked by a pro artist.

    My advice is get it all relined and bolded out to correct the wobbly line work.
    Add some colour and expand the handle with some jewels or such.

    Once the balde is reworked you could get some roses or blood etc making it look more complete at the bottom.

    It also needs plenty of colour or shade and highlighting.

    The tattoo is repairable without too much hassle.

    Take Care
