I know you say you can’t afford both procedures but maybe you can after a bit of saving.
I think it would be better to wait in the long run, and then get it covered up properly instead of getting a mediocre cover up you’re going to hate and want to cover in a…[Read more]

Now you simply need to narrow it down to ONE theme (some of the ones you have there are very similar while others are contradictory). It seems like you have a pretty solid idea of where you want to go with this.
After you’ve chosen the theme, you need to decide on the key elements you want to focus on.

You should be able to find an artist that will tattoo this symbol on you, I really don’t see anything offensive about it.

Maybe change up the color in the background, I think it will translate to a tattoo a little bit better that way.

I don’t know if it’s your tattoo that’s the entire problem though. The original image itself isn’t immediately recognizable to me, and if you hadn’t said it was a fire dancer I don’t think I would have guessed it.

Having cherry blossoms intertwined with text sounds especially feminine to me, but, maybe you could get away with it if they were in black and gray or used muted tones with flowers that looked tattered or worn.
