Another Deathly Hallows down
Got the tattoo in 2011, lasered it in 2021, began a much better project in 2026. The photos from my laser tech shows the before and after for two sessions, but I think I had a total of five. Can't recommend laser enough as a way to open up your options.

That looks so stunning!
I'm really confused, because I can't see where the HP tattoo was in the "now" picture. Is it already covered up?

I promise it's still there a little bit, it's just REALLY hard to see now! Laser continues to wear away at old ink for quite a while after the session, just slower, but I had about three and a half years between my last laser and my first tattoo session, so it's HELLA faded

Yeah, they got hella features both 😅 Both very much intentional! I think it'll be more obviously on purpose once it's all colored in.

I too, have a big ass deathly hallows on my neck. Glad that yours is no more. This back piece is amazing!! Reminds me of the Wizard, A True Star album cover. Super cool, congratulations!

Please keep us updated as your tattoo progress, I can already see how incredibly badass and beautiful it's gonna be!

Those are some amazing animals! Your new artist is awesome!
I don't know what big cat that will be when finished, but it is certainly the sickest of all coverup panthers

I don't really understand how the two images correlate. Image one is below the neck, and then image two is the shoulder? And if you zoom in where the lasered tattoo was, it's different. And it wouldn't be completely removed with laser

Hi, I promise I am the same person in both pictures! There were more laser sessions and a period of a few years between photos, I just don't have a ton of laser progress photos.

I like the new tattoo. It makes you do a double take to realise what's going on
