I'm Cara! I have a couple of tattoos, one of which I am completely over. The other is a small blue star - hard to mess that one up ha.

I am seeking advice about getting it covered. I got it when I was 19, at a place I should have done more research about, of a subject I should have thought more about. I am now 26, no longer an emo girl, mother of one. I thought this tattoo was deep when I got it, but now its just hard to explain and poorly executed. I wanted it smaller, on my wrist, but was told that wasn't possible (not at the consultation, only when I sat down and the gun was ready to go). I had another tattoo artist offer to 'fix' it for me and it looks slightly better but I still want it gone.

Is it possible to cover this up? It looks scarred to shit, blurry, and patchy... I was thinking possibley a tiger, or something floral, something pretty and maybe more relative to who I am now. Any advice of what could maybe be done would be great.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum! If you let us know where you live, some folks here could possibly recommend a shop and/or artist who might help with the cover-up.

 

Thanks! I am in Spruce Grove, Alberta.... close to Edmonton! I have been browsing for artists with coverup work in their portfolio but haven't found many.

Hi @Carabun you're in luck...Edmonton has a lot of quality shops and tattooers. 

I would suggest go *in-person* and talk to the cats at Champion Tattoo (124st) or Lucky Strike Tattoo (116St). I've been tattooed at both these joints by various people on many an occasion, you'll get good vibes and a nice experience I am sure. Really you can cover that script with anything, should be a piece of cake to run over.

      big Problem after tattooing.

      By Hogrider · Posted

      First let me say I've never seen exactly that related to tattoos. Second, I am NOT a doctor, so take any advice with a grain of salt and follow it at your own risk. I do have something like that which appears on my face from time to time. After multiple visits to the dermatologist, which didn't fix it, I finally came up with my own treatment. Whenever it flairs up, I just wipe the area down with plain rubbing alcohol three or four times a day to keep it dry. That usually works within a couple of days. Again, I'm not a doctor, but I don't think it would hurt anything for you to try that. Good Luck.

      big Problem after tattooing.

      By zomno · Posted

      Hey, I have a serious problem! I got a tattoo in Manila 4 weeks ago. The artist is very well known and is one of the most renowed. 2 day after tattooing, small pimples began to form on my thight an many at the tattoo. 3 days later i had fever at night (just at night). After that, the pimpels began to spread very quickly all over the body. (back stomach etc..) I have now been to 3 doctors and everyone is at a loss. The blood work is fine and with no anomalies. Antibiotic ointment and cortisone ointment did not help. Xyzall allergy tablets did not help either. When i took cortisone tablets, 90% of the pimpels disappeared on the tattoo, but not on the other parts of the body. Now that I´am no longer taking cortisone, the pimpels on the tattoo are starting to grow back again very quick. On the other parts of the skin , the pimpels are sometimes lighter and sometimes stronger. This can be change hourly. They don´t hurt and hardy lever itch. Of course I´am afraid of a tattoo allergie. Has anyone already had this problem ? Does anyone know what that could be ? I add photos: 1) Photo directly after tattooing. 2) 2 Photos with the pimpels after a week 3) After 3 weeks while taking cortisone. 4) Photo of the body on the left.
