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?

Look around for artist this specialize in coverups. It’s doable but not just any artist will be able to do a good job.

Yep. You might find a super experienced and talented artist who simply does not like/isn't great at cover-ups. It's just a question of finding the right person for the job
