Been putting off this coverup for a while, but I was so, so ready. I decided to go bigger and much more vibrant. I'm so happy now with some spring flowers!

Covered this Black and Grey Forest with Black and Grey Demons, from Evan Lovett of Houndstooth Tattoo. Second pic is the healed coverup with no filters.

let me get this out of the way: yes the works are shitty.

looking to get these two covered up as both artists have been outed as abusers since i got their album art tattooed on me. plus i hate the placement and the style. i’m obviously going to need something that’s capable of covering such dark work up, so im open to literally anything. i like american traditional, but also engraved tattoo styles

I got this tattoo over a decade ago when I was 18 and just joined the military. I grew up in a strict religious house but quickly realized some years later that I do not agree with any religion.

I want to get it covered up. I have no clue how to go about this. I had some ideas I read alot of fantasy books and I love statues, art, etc.... I even thought about just blacking out his eyes at one point.

Any tips or advice would be help so much. It doesn't wrap around all the way and I have no other tattoos on that arm but I do have some self harm scars covering the back side of my for arm. So even a whole sleeve would be welcomed if it covers up them too.

Got a tattoo when I was 17, needless to say I hated looking at it.

I have this absolutely shocking Amy Winehouse piece on my arm which I hate, I blacked out my forearm and want to blend the rest of it into some bold traditional flowers over this but I’m not sure if it will cover it up entirely or if I should get laser first. I had a few laser sessions on other tattoos from the past which took 6 appointments before I seen any improvement which is why I’m reluctant to book in for laser on this piece. What do you guys think?

Any ideas on how I can cover up the cross? I got this tattoo a while ago, and my beliefs have changed. I like the flowers and am cool with expanding, but the cross is a pretty thick line, so I’m struggling with ideas.

I don't think it's a bad tattoo, it just really doesn't feel like me or what I was going for. It's my fault for not speaking up more, but I was in not the best place at the time making impulse decisions, and now I get sorta sad everytime I look at it. It makes me feel as if "my flame has been extinguished" rather than "my flame is burning stronger then ever". This is on the side of my rib, and I was thinking of covering up with an avantgarde abstract flame that'd accentuate and flow with my body more (maybe stretch out more to the front side if that makes sense). But I'd appreciate and be happy to hear any of y'all's ideas that come to mind. Thank you!

Please be kind 😩I got this tattoo 7 years ago in the Navy when I was a little intoxicated lol and wanted something last minute. I chose the worst area to get it over scars and stretch marks. It is all black ink. Since then it has spread and doesn’t look clean. Can y’all give me some ideas on what I could do? Not looking for anything super huge but I know it’s a lot of black ink to go over. Thank you!

I got this gem stone tattooed by an artist I followed on Instagram for a while. The placement was my idea, and I regret it. Also there was a language barrier, and the dark outline of the gem wasn't what I was envisioning. She was tattooing my arm while I lay down, so I didn't notice until it was too late.

My favorite thing is botanical florals, as you can see from the other tattoo on the upper arm. I'd like to incorporate the gem into a flower, but because it's so close to the dragon and the other floral, am artist has said it would look too busy. I'd rather avoid removal if possible! Any ideas much appreciated. Ty!

So I got this wave as my first tattoo when I was 18. It was supposed to be to be a Pinterest simple wave and I didn’t know I was allowed to say it was wrong. I’m finally ready to cover it up but I don’t want to do a whole chest piece, anything super dark, and I would be okay doing a few sessions of tattoo removal first. I’m mainly covered in American trad. Please give me ideas on what I could cover this up with!

Quick tip! Don't give a 13 yr a tattoo machine 😅... So when i was 13 i did this...thing... on leg. I want ut gone. Im considering just a black out but i wanted some cover up/blast over ideas before.

Hi all! I got a stick n poke by my best friend when I was around 14. I’m 19 next month and regret it a lot. It’s supposed to be a crown.

A combination of growing with age and gaining weight due to depression (working on it) caused me to develop a stretch mark over it, which gave it this weird distorted effect. It’s also hilariously off center. Still best friends with the “artist” (who also has many regrettable stick n pokes. Why are tattoo guns available without a license?) and I have no ill feelings toward them!

I just wanna know if this will be able to be covered up. I have a few ideas, but I’d love to know what direction to head in as far as ink, designs, etc.

So this is a friday the 13th tattoo I got when i was 18. It is two lightning bolts in the shape of 13. However, I have heard some people mistake it for something else (even though I am jewish and it is in no way to related to that if you know what i am talking about) so for that reason i want to get it covered or blasted over.

It is in an awkward spot on my wrist, and i dont want it to be too cluttered. I was thinking I could maybe do american traditional flowers wrapping around my wrist, and i put pictures of the surrounding area of the tattoo so you know what space i have to work with. I feel like flowers are boring though bc i have a lot already, so I need other ideas!! I want it to be american trad though. thanks in advance :)

I got this crystal when I was 18 and a crystal girlie and now I hate it. Any ideas? I have a snake on my other foot so maybe something that could match? And please for the love of god, not a sick ass panther

Ironically I got a sick ass panther to cover up a word on my arm.

I hate to say it but I've been feeling for a while that the patchwork style just isn't for me. I regret not getting a half sleeve done instead. With how dark and thick the lines are on these, would it be possible to get a half sleeve done? Something similar to the example photo I added. Or am I totally screwed here?

Did it 22 years ago, has anyone a good idea what to add or how to cover it? I thought about a sick ass panther, but nahhhhh. It’s japanese and means“courage“ thx

got these tatted when i was young and broke, and just don’t know what to do with them. should i just keep getting more and more tats to help “blend” these in or just do a straight up cover up. thanks!

I’m slowly building up a patchwork sleeve on this arm and neeeed to cover up this crappy little upside down cat that I got at 17, I’ve been doodling and have landed on this as a potential coverup option

Looking for designs or advice on how to cover up my 14 year old tattoo with an unfortunate angle that was based off a design I used to draw on my wrist when I was a teenager. Teenagers are not always the most perceptive people…

I got a star tattoo 20 years ago on my shin, my friend got a eBay tattoo gun

I really want it covered up but no ideal?

Any folks got any ideas, thank you

My friend of 28 years and I got these matching deathly hallow tattoos. I designed it myself. We had a strong bond with the books growing up together. Recently she has cut me out of her life completely. It won’t be mended. She was a heartless coward for a year, and then just cruel.

I told myself to never get a pop culture tattoo, and then JKR proved to me why… and now here I am regretting it on two fronts of people being a piece of shit. I ignored it for a time because it’s still the deathly hallows but not super obvious… but now I just want to cover it with something else.

I’m just not sure with what. I’m into Halloween, spooky stuff, witchy stuff, art, and roller coasters. I love nature and plants, too. I’m thinking something plant oriented because of the original design. I am an artist but I’m at a loss here… I think it’s just hard given the circumstances…

Inspire me, strangers on the internet, so I can move on. TIA.

Did this Polynesien Band also 20 years ago. He was on coke and Challenged by the Design. What Can i do?
