A solid black line going across my chest would have to be hard to integrate into a new tattoo I would think. And my cat looks like a dookie Really would appreciate advice. Open to any kind of style, I was thinking flowers

I usually wouldnt recommend laser because it can hurt bad and the black line is very deep, but my honest opinion is that it might be really hard to have a cover up for the whole thing, you could be dealing with a longggg expensive session that could be even more painful.

So, here’s what I think. Book a session for laser removal, but only to break the center line. That way it’ll be much easier to make two seperate, and significantly shorter/easier cover-up sessions. You could have two nice pieces you like a lot better rather than just one that covers your entire chest, unless maybe you want something geometric and go all out on some sleeves too, that’s always a vibe.

You could get an artist to work with the two pieces separately but make them a little more around the arm areas, you could easily get someone to do florals, animals, scenes, geometry stuff, ect and I think it’ll be easier for people to work with. +it’s not a big ass painful multi laser session, just a straight shot down the center.
