str8edg Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Here is some pics of the cover-up I just had done. I don't have a pic of the finished tattoo I will get one taken when my wife gets back. Before Almost done Almost done back view The whole photo set on Flickr I am so glad to have this cover-up done. I didn't care about the spider I got it when I was 16 and was quite used to it... kind of liked it to be honest. I will get another small spider again one day. The dragonflies on the other hand... I REALLY hated them. I went into a street shop one day looking for a band of lizards (which would have still sucked) and ended up with this because I was in a hurry, stupid and did not know any better. To be honest it turned me from tattoo for years. I went in for some script on my wrist and started talking to a real tattooer that I got brave again. The tattoo is done my Alicia E from Trouble Bound Studios in Newfoundland. The reason for a dragon? Well my whole mindset on life changed when I became a dad. I suddenly knew my role had changed to protecter and that is what a dragon is to me. OK enough typing, did I mention I tend to ramble?

Texkota Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Looks awesome, I'm in the middle of covering up some ugly tattoos from my teen years with a dragon as well. Get them finished pictures up already. hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochlan Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Thanks for taking the time to do a thread on the progress of your cover-up. I have been enjoying looking at sets of pictures and videos of cover-ups recently. Was watching @Scott Sylvia tattooing a big back piece cover-up the other day that was looking pretty awesome.....maybe he'll get pictures......

taylorspinney Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I am very jealous that you had such a small original to get covered, I need something covered which is fairly large and it sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catcook Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Awesome! Looks a lot better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorspinney Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Everyone I see talk about coverups says that the new design must be substantially bigger. I have a portrait tattoo on my chest that doesn't really allow that much higher a use of space but I know a very talented artist that says he can do something with it. Does anyone have any stories or relative experience with a coverup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
