    Hi

    Nice start on the sleeve.

    I will be honest it will not be an easy tattoo to cover as green is an utter bastard to cover over or remove with a laser treatment.

    That said you could have the demon of winds covering the rasta.

    Basically it is a series of black storm clouds that form into the shape of a leering demon – sort of like a twisted budda.

    It is sometimes represented by a forked toungue spewing blood or fire.

    Variations have been swords piercing the demon under the chin up through the skull, causing the storm clouds to spill from the split skull.

    You could have a samurai in trad battle dress over it.

    A dragon would also work quite nicely as you could enhance the green into the scales.

    Hope they help as ideas.

    Take Care

    Ha ha. I got the cart before the horse. I was looking at the first pic and thinking, “My God, it’s great, why is he covering that up? I don’t see how it’s rastafari” then I scrolled down. Doh! Sleeve is looking great though!

    Jesus that rasta man is awful. This is why sixteen year olds shouldn’t be allowed to get tattoos!

    On the other hand, that demon is as good as the rasta is bad.

    Otherwise, just listen to Matthew. He’s right as usual.

    Love. Peace. Metallica.

    Hi

    I was hoping to scan the image I had from a book and realised I still need to get it back from them. 😡
    Because it is mythological to the japanese culture you can see various interpretations.

    Some of them look like a leering and twisted budda with horns with a split skull spewing clouds.

    I have a few links for modern wind demons as well

    http://www.tattooartists.org/Gal5193_computer_graphics.asp (modern take on ademon of winds no splt skull though)

    Anyhow hope they help – you can tweak them to fit your tattoo

    Sorry not been on in a while fecking work, have not really had time to get any more work done but have been round discussing design’s for this cover up, started looking at a geisha girl had it drawen on def nice tattoo but the rasta was def going to show through too much went for a dragon next, maybe could have worked well but as i’ve 2 dragon’s on my legs I was looking something a bit different….

    After many discussion’s, many beers, few smoke’s we’ve finally decided on a design it’s something really different, bold and strikein i’ve not seen any tatt’s like what it is, I just really hope it work’s on the skin .

    I’m going round on wednesday to get it started i’m not telling what it’s going go be i’ll surprise you’s

    Wish me luck

    PMSL sorry but why would a cracker get a rasta tattoo ?

    i love the mask , i think you could get a koi to cover the other tattoo .
    a black white and red one would work well .
    check this link out , she is a friend i have gotten to know after she commented on some of my photography and she is brilliant at cover ups……. sadly she is in spain but you will get some ideas of what can be done
