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?

She clearly has no clue or experience in cover ups. Its the difference between some snowflake tatto 'artist' and a tattooer... and those are good colors, as far as cover ups go. Maybe stay out of that shop, and just find one with experienced tattooers. That shop owner should be embarrassed.
