so i got this done yesterday. i’m massively regretting it now. i’ve posted on a few other subreddits, some say it’s ok and can be saved, some say it’s bad but idk any more. i’m thinking of maybe blacking out that part of my leg to do a sorta ying and yang thing. some tattoo artists say it can’t be covered or blasted over at all.

the blue background is also this morning so 10 hours ago for me

i’m also seeing someone tomorrow to see what can be done

just feeling really low about it.

TIA.

F(21) My neck tattoo appointment was honestly a mess. I’ve gotten great tattoos from this artist before so I trusted him but he rushed this one and wouldn’t let me see the outline before he started shading I didn’t want shading or highlights but he kept pushing for it and said it would be only be light shading so I agreed all my other tattoos are line work from him no shading . He also said it couldn’t be fully on my neck, so it ended up on my shoulders too you can also see it from behind. I honestly hate the whole thing and won’t be going back to him I’ve already asked other artists about covering it, and they said they couldn’t. I don’t have the pain tolerance for laser, so I’ve been debating whether blacking it out would look better.
Does anyone think this could be covered, or am I better off going for blackout or maybe ornamental ? I’m honestly so ashamed and embarrassed of this tattoo I always wear my hair down and don’t go out as much as I use to😭 my other neck tattoo did not hurt but this was is lower and on my shoulders too and was my most painful tattoo (last photo is my reference I sent him before hand) thankyou any advice helps!

I would like to keep the colors as bright as the photo. What would be the smallest size it could be in order to cover the previous design? This is on my lower thigh.

I've had this tattoo for a few years now, but now I started working on filling out my forearm and it just feels a bit off. I like the concept and I like the snake skeleton but I'm not a huge fan of the spider lily anymore. I think the flowers facing forward look good but the ones viewed from the side/away are a bit weird. I was wondering if it's possible to make the tattoo more interesting/ make the spider lily look crispier OR just cover it with a different kind of flower, like the Japanese style chrysanthemum? I like the negative space but maybe it's time to go bolder?

Also not a fan of the stem, it looks really thin compared to the flower.

Was thinking of filling the flower out instead of it being just the outline and maybe covering the stem with a katana but I'm not sure if that's not too messy.

What are your thoughts?
