ToxicBarrels 31 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hello awesome people of LST. My name is Mario and I have a question that I need to ask. I am looking to fix up both of my old tattoos and possibly cover it up with a new design. I just wanted to ask, what are my chances of getting this done successfully? It's not a real small piece so I do not know how difficult it might be and I just want some thoughts before I consult with some artists. Thanks a lot and have a fantastic day.

Margarita Yaschenko 67 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Helllo. You have a good chances to get a good cover. That picture on your skin not very light but even in such a picture quality that good master (specialized on cover-up) can override it. It remains to find a good master for this specialization :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelAvengers 135 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I did a write up about my coverup and what I learned during the process. http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/tattoo-removal-coverup/6413-my-coverup-what-i-learned.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cltattooing 765 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I would look into getting that snake fixed up, that thing has a lot of potential to be a super cool tattoo. Something super bold and dynamic would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado6 184 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Mmmhmmm, a snake do over with a rose on top :cool: I think, if you like the style, that a Japanese design could incorporate / hide that pretty well. There is usually some ghost of an old tattoo if you know where you're looking, and you can see it up close since it is on you, but we probably won't notice it walking past you. How much does that bother you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marley mission 2,034 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 now - you probably have decided to get them covered but I say why i dig both those tatts you got more room I'm assuming put some cool tatts somewhere else and carry on just my 2 cents though good luck with whatever you decided though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicBarrels 31 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Thank you all for your replies. @Margarita Yaschenko I've found an artist and hope he can be the one to do this job right :) @MarvelAvengers That was very informative and awesome tattoo mate; where is the hulk? xD @cltattooing What did you have in mind? @Tornado6 It wouldn't bother me too much. @marley mission Thanks brother, but I've been dissatisfied with these tats for 5 years. I finally have the motivation to get it fixed. I just hope I found the best artist I could. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pidjones 616 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 @bongsau No way :( I believe that he is referring to the snake's head pointing toward your back. Common placement I believe, would be with it pointing toward the front. This in itself doesn't detract from the tattoo's quality, but does indicate a rookie artist unless you demanded that it be placed like this (or it is a logo that absolutely must be placed this way).
