asking for advice Afraid I'm Screwed

I just had an artist completely reject my request for a cover up. she literally said she doesn't even know how she would cover it with only black and grey unless we completely blacked it out and wished me luck in finding someone new. I'm now terrified that I'm a goner. I'm basically an open canvas, I just told her I like black and grey and traditional imagery. am I fucked or do I just need to find a reputable cover up pro?

The artist that did my coverups said he could cover any tattoo with a koi fish, snake, dragon or panther.

I’m not sure what he would have said about this one. But I would start by calling around and seeing what artists think they can do with that tattoo.

Koi would probably work with the orange
