Hi, I had 3 chinese symbols on my inner forearm, I was young when I got it and also didn’t really know what it ment, anyway I covered it up with a geisha, you can see it in my alb, sorry I don’t have a before picture but I think it turned out well.

Don’t worry about what YOU think will cover it. Just make sure your artist has a solid portfolio, including before, during, and after shots of cover ups. If you can’t see the old tattoo, you’re good. A good tattooer will steer you in the right direction.

Tims right, look at the artists portfolio.If a lotis is what you really want, he may suggest one with the fire coming out of the top, or a noce splash of colors in the backdroung to help assist in the coverup. Rmember that black in is the darkest color, so it is the hardest to disguise.
