I think it’ll be a nice faded blob in 30 years, yes 🙂

My understanding is that absolutely nothing can cover black. Black is the darkest color, and will absorb all lighter colors. White, incidentally, is the worst color in the world to tattoo, since it’s fade time is measured in months instead of years.

or filled in black and then something else added over the black?

Nope… you don’t get anything over black, but if your blob bothers you in 30 years you can of course laser the entire arm and get a new one 🙂

As Amok says, I think that this can be covered quite easily. Just find a tattoo artists that’s experienced in coverups, and you should end up with something to be proud of.

Sorry, but that makes absolutely NO sense. Have you heard of periods and commas?

It’s small and light, I think it could be covered with a nice sleeve quite easily. A big black koi could go over that nicely. Worst case scenario is a couple laser sessions to lighten it a bit more. You should take that arm into a shop and chat to an artist for ideas.

My ex had that problem. She let it heal and then re-pierced it. The problem, however, is that the growth gets in the way of the second piercing, making it much harder to do straight and FAR more painful to go through. You’d preferably want a piercer that’s very used to re-doing like that.

You, sir, are a dumbass.

Maybe keep the same sort of theme, but in a more natural, silhouetted kind of way?
As above though, it’s your body and if that’s what you want, go for it.
FWIW I actually quite like it, but wouldn’t want to “waste” the skin on a design that could (in my opinion) be a lot more interesting.

Good luck, let us know what you decide

Flowers and butterflies are pretty common on men. There’s nothing wrong with it in my opinion. Why don’t you get a wolf or a skull next to it then?

Hi Paul,

Welcome to the forum.

I like the idea behind your tattoo but to be honest this is not something I like. Tribal has gone out of style like the Macarena, and for good reason.

At the end of the day it’s your body and it should be something you really love, but there’s so many great artists out there you could get an amazing piece for the…[Read more]

We all know what kind of tip Wardy is giving.

I’m really hungry now

I tip around 10% although its not really expected here in Australia. Most decent artists are charging around $200 per hour anyway.

Looks nice, congrats on your first.

And it’s amazing to see the airbags work.. it almost looks like they went off BEFORE the bike hits, it’s so fast.

Well… I guess you now know how the AA seal looks 😀

Yup, practically unusable last few days

Well, the size differences between a button and a cowboy are so immense that I’m thinking you might have a great deal of trouble giving them equal billing.

Incorrect. Only Turbosatan can do that.

And he also needs to BE an actual professional to get in there, which he obviously isn’t since he’s asking this particular question.

Locking this thread now.
