I have a tattoo that really dont like very much and want it either reworking or something done to it.....
i have been told that my best option is to get it lasered off but it would cost fortunes and was hoping that someone on here might be either a tattooist who could take a look at it for me or someone with good artistic skills who could maybe look at it and think...'oh you could have it like this'...i was thinking of just putting some brightly coloured flowers round it and add loads of colour....




Please no stupid comments cos i already know how bad it looks lol

Thanks Fiona

 

Hi there, I had an awful tattoo done, it was almost solid black and most of the tattoo artists (including a famous tattooist for the UK) said there wasnt much to be done. In the end I flew out to Philadelphia to see a chap called Tim Victim. He produced what I can only describe as a miracle. Take a look at his coverups

My coverup (which was done in two parts can be seen here

His work is truly incredible and most tattoo artists said it couldnt be done. The moral of the story is dont go jumping at the first possible solution. Take you time or you could end up with something thats only a compromise and you wont be happy with in the long term either.

For me laser removal is NOT an option. Its very expensive, can leave scars and doesnt always get rid of all the ink. Save the money and go see Tim

 

Its the colour, it think which is causing the problem, I would have it made black with some shading. It will look much better

 

somthing like this

 

i wud get it reworked my self laser surgery is dread full and so expensive
im having both my arms redone and u wud be surprised what a decent tattooist can do for u
x

 

The tattoist i normally go to is an award winning one but he also does laser removal so i think he trying to stear me in that direction as its more money for him..... he said because i'm a woman he dont wanna do to much or it will look manly

I really dont want to jump into anything like thats why i'm trying to get some ideas...

WOW that cover up is mint

JohnnyB... that looks mint too

 

women covered in tats are hotttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
get summit femininne lotus flowers and vines wud look nice
laser is just crap it takes so long and all it does it breaks down the pigments in the ink its a long process and never completely works
and hurts alot aswell

 

leave it has it is or it could end looking alot worse

 

I hope he didnt do that one on your arm because the only award that will win is 'Shit Tattoo of the Week'

And talk about business creation, do a shit tattoo on someone and then offer to take it off.

You could get a really nice feminine cover up done, there are loads of really good artists out there who could sort that with something really quite special.

Good Luck and let us see the re-work !

 

There is a local tattoo artist called Barry K who does a few cover ups and laser removal. He works with people to create a design they like and then only recommends laser treatment on the sections that wouldnt be fully covered by the new design.

Might be worth looking at that as an option.

Alternatively, go to a well known tattoo studio with a good reputation (a guy I know is going to Nikole Lowe's studio down in London to get his done) to see what coverup they could do.

 

ive been looking at getting a tattoo removed but dont want to go for the laser, i know someone who is having this done at the moment
http://www.tattooerase.com/treatment.html
the tattoo is fading after going for 3 sessions this was just a black leaf on her arm
but i dont know if anyone else has had this done and if it did work..
i know she pays Ł50 per session

 

Neil M - No he didn't do the one i want covering lol....

Orion88 - i was thinking along the lines of lotus flowers or orchids!!!!! I really gotta stop watching Miami Ink & LA Ink tho or i'll end up covered in them like Kat Lol... everytime i watch it i think of a new tattoo i would like

If any of you know anyone who could do a bit photoshop on it will you please ask them

 

BTT

 

Fiona there's two tattoo studio's round here that are good.
One in Jarrow, and one in Shield's.
I can sort the numbers out for you if you like?
As they maybe able to help you out

 

may i ask why the hell you got that in blue. sorry man, but dnt understand that.

dont get laser treatment, apparently it really hurts.

get a cover up, it would luk much beta, maybe have the tattoo creeping up your shoulder and expand it a bit

 

where are these? Any idea what theyre called?

 

Geordie Shaw on Stanhope road
And the one in Jarrow's ment to be really good, oposite the Viking centre where the traffic lights are

 

Champion, will check them out... our lass wants a tatt on her foot

 

I normally get mine from Geordie Shaw
