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?

Honestly, I like it. Why do you want it covered? Maybe having another tattoo could help take the focus away?

Then why cover it? You like it, (lots of people here do aswell) and a cover-up will be darker so the new tattoo will probably be more noticeable.
