MISS D1 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hi there I got a playboy bunny tattoo when I was 16, and while I don't HATE it so much, it's not really 'me'. I added the Marilyn quote cos it kind of matched, but the bunny looks old & tired & needs a revamp. I was thinking a ribbon/bow (bunny being the knot), or would be open to flowers or something girlie. Any ideas? Would I be best to get some laser first? (I haven't found out how much it would cost yet, wouldn't wanna start until I had a plan of attack) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SStu Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Lasering will always improve your options on what can cover any old ink. It wouldn't take much to lighten that up. There are a couple of threads here that go into detail - just do a search on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shit Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 You might be able to cover the bunny up with a rose,and then add another rose on the other side.Or better yet,just go to a good shop,and ask them.

David Flores Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Inkstitution - Auckland Tattoos and Tattoo Design - Meet the Artists Go see Stephen, he is a good tattooer and a good dude. One of the guys at my shop spent last two years there and him and steven became good friends because their are regular dudes with egos in check that do good work. His online portfolio doesn't really do him justice. I second the flower on each side of the lettering would be my first suggestion for coverup, it would balance it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MISS D1 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Thanks for all the help guys!! :) I also had another thought, it's probably 'hipster' & therefore tacky or whatever, but I was thinking of getting a sugar skull cross pin up girl, disguising the bunny in her hair. It would come up over my hip I guess. I'm really liking the stuff Carrisa Rose (I think she's also neverdieart) does. Tacky? Too "trendy"?

SStu Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'm not envisioning the placement you're describing. A full pin-up, or just the head? Is Erin Chance still in Auckland - or has she already relocated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would want to the face to be facing inward so the bunny would be right in the face which might not be the best coverup. Is this the type of thing you were thinking of (at least general idea)? You probably have enough room to cover bunny with flower and still get girl head as a seperate tattoo or have flowers around the head and use that as coverup, but again whatever you do make sure you like the idea.

Dumpleton Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 What about something like this? Maybe not in this style it is only a reference, could a similar hair style or shading near her neck work for a cover up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MISS D1 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yeah something like that! There are definitely ways to do it to have it facing inwards as well as having the hair on the inside. There's this image that could work if the flower on the left was moved or reduced and there's this one that I could flip to face the other way It would need to be a decent size to work, and I think would come up to my belly button - just wondering for future, I've read a bit about most tattoos not being effected by pregnancy, as long as it is on the side there (not near the belly button!) will it be ok do you think?

David Flores Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yeah If you are willing to go big, I am sure you could cover it and end up with a nice tattoo. Usually people who want coverups don't realize how big the cover tattoo will need to be, but it sounds like you know what you are in for. The only downside is once you get that big tattoo on your side, you other side will feel so empty and you will want a big tattoo their too.
