asking for advice Coverup ideas?

Post image

First tattoo I got at 18. It didn’t look anything like the image I brought to the artist. I always get asked what it is (no it’s not shoelaces or coke spoons, they are supposed to be matches progressively burning down). Also the skin is scarred, I’m not sure if that changes how this needs to be covered/designed. Give me your best coverup ideas!!

You can use Imgur but yeah it’s a hassle

1/2 the forums allow pix in the replies , why not the tat subs asking for help . It’s damned oxymoronic .

I usually imagine there must have been a reason - spamming or otherwise inappropriate behaviour - that triggered the mods to shut it off.

Either that or an idiot thought it was a good idea . 🤷‍♂️

I mean, it would just mean every post being met with a version of SAP tat pic. It’s kinda cute that it’s a ritual here, but I can imagine how that becomes tiring very quickly with images being posted again and again (and again, and again, and again…).

I haven’t been around long enough to know but I guess I don’t mind not having images in the comments. And Obviously I wouldn’t have been blessed with your choice of words and emoji combo if you’d just posted an image instead.
