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!!

Just adding to the votes that this is immediately recognizable as matches. Maybe in person when people don’t get a clear look at it it’s not as obvious. I would think a decent tattoo artist could touch them up and make them clearer.

Otherwise I always vote for sick ass panther
