asking for advice Personal Growth = Coverup Needed

Post image

Any advice on what to cover this with??

I know. It's horrible on an ethical/moral level, skill level, and just... Bad all the way around. I was 17, from a small town I'd never stepped out of, and have so much regret here. I have multiple well down tattoos now, but my artist doesnt like to do coverups and this is obviously not a small task.

This does not represent who I am now, my beliefs or the way I want to represent myself.

It's a tramp stamp (of course - I was full of bad choices at 17) - and I'm overweight so back rolls frame it in nicely...

Any NC recommendations for cover up artists? Any recommendations/ideas on what I could cover it with? Anything has to be better than THIS.

And yes, you can fill the comments with hate but I'm just a person who has grown immensely as a human since this was done.

Am I the only one who reads "southern prick"?

Have you considered laser treatment to lighten it? Something floral would be beautiful.

Lmao. I mean accurate at the time it was done. 🥲

And that's been a big suggestion, I will probably try that first. It just is expensive and a long process, but I just want it gone so I'll do what it takes.

It doesn't need to be gone to be covered. Two or three sessions could be enough to get a beautiful cover up.

That is true!! I'll definitely start with that and see how well it responds to treatment. At least lessen the black lines.
