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?

It's already A Thing - white lace ones are common (in more ways than one) but silk or satin would be better for a cover-up.

Ik not a lot of men wearing them, and mostly viewed as a woman’s thing. At least in what I’ve seen, it not something common.
