SciGeek94 3 Posted October 15, 2016 My wife is looking to cover up / change the phoenix inside the circle - Looking for nice ideas or suggestions Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJDeepFried 511 Posted October 16, 2016 Where is that on the body? A coverup has to be at least 2x the size. Not sure if the phoenix can be reworked. All good questions for her tattooer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Devious6 and mtlsam 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charles.M 72 Posted October 16, 2016 Limiting the size will vastly limit your options. The bigger the cover up, the better the hide of the old tattoo art. If she likes the blue circle, get a new blue circle somewhere else and just bury the old completely. The directions you can go are infinite, so the real question is WHO do you want to do the tattoo, then work it out with that artist, his council on the matter will be unique to him. Cover-ups are special kind of art and skill set in Tattooing, so make sure your choice of artist does it. Why waste time planning out your dream tattoo, to only find out your dream tattooer or standby tattooer does not do that stuff...either (1) cover-ups or (2) your choice of art for the project?

DJDeepFried 511 Posted October 16, 2016 how about leaving the blue circle and reworking the phoenix into something else? any ideas?Your answer is contained above. Ask your tattooer. Otherwise, I dunno. An eight ball? An anvil? Choices may be limited somewhat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk mtlsam 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think eight ball is a classy choice. Or mini black panther head. I don't believe that a dragon would be the appropriate choice for this one.

SciGeek94 3 Posted October 16, 2016 Has to be somewhat feminine - Do you think because of the spread of the elements inside the circle it can turned into a "tree of life" design? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJDeepFried 511 Posted October 16, 2016 Sure if she's willing to go up to the elbow. I don't know why I keep replying. Ask your tattooer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk mtlsam and a_beukeveld 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zetroc 256 Posted October 17, 2016 I bet that could be covered up with a panther. Check out The Cat Book for some ideas. otisc and Gingerninja 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
