Ihatemytat Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I got this tattoo when I was 15 years old and I hate it! It was done very poorly and it is so f'n generic! I want to cover it up/ add onto it and get it retouched so bad but I'm having a hard time coming up with ideas. I'd rather not walk into a shop having no clue what I want to do so I thought I'd get some opinions. I don't want something really huge but I wouldn't mind going slightly larger. I would like a more unique design that will make my tattoo look less ghetto. any ideas are appreciated Thanks!! Copy and paste the link (I know it's a lot of work but please :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatanium2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 That is something that's easily covered. Which in turn opens up a large amount of options that understandably makes it difficult to make a decision. It would be best to talk to your artist in person so that He/She can help read whats right for you and narrow down the options at the same time. Roses, Peacock feathers, and motion off a larger designs are my personal favorite to use covering up things like that. hope this helps. hogg, reverend1 and Ihatemytat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CultExciter Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Also, where ar you located? We can totally suggest decent artists that will meet you with and discuss your options. Shannon Shirley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gougetheeyes Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Instead of trying to think of a design or an idea first, try either checking out some shops or some tattooers whose work you might like. I know not everyone wants to pore over portfolios, especially for a small tattoo that may be your first, but it can definitely point you in the right direction and get you thinking. Like @CultExciter said, let us know where you're at and maybe we can get you started. reverend1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might get the best results by meeting with the tattooer of your choice and working with them to design something you will love. The artist might have some great ideas you wouldn't have though of on your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAllen Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I think you should keep it, I mean you made your username based on it. Just get more tattoos and you won't even worry about it any more. irezumi, gougetheeyes, Danelle and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irezumi Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 One day when you have a sleeve or two and 30 other tattoos you'll be able to say 'this was my first' hogg, dari, Dan S and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
