    no not exactly :?
    had an ex do a miserable attempt last year, and took like no joke 4 sessions to cover it-
    owned his own shop for like ten years, you'd think he can handle two triangles for a yield sign?
    anyways, that one's finally gone - but another (un pj related) remains...
    and the guy fixing it is losing his sense of humor with my lack of ideas :roll:
    so hard! i don't know wtf can go over something! don't suppose you're bored and want to brain storm?

    Yes, there is! But it requires Photobucket or something...
    I can figure it out again in like 5 mins if I try I think- But if it's easier, I can send a link for now?
    This is what he messed up now http://tradingphrases.com/picasso-dog-wall-decals.html?gclid=CIfr99W806sCFd505QodHizsSQ
    Apparently he pushed a bit hard and the lines are slowing getting fatter and fatter
    (although I don't think I agree it was done in anger haha)

    It's difficult to do coverups.. general rule, the covering tattoo needs to be bigger and darker than original, therefore finding a tattoo for you both to agree on to be the cover up is difficult. Also a lot of artist may deter from touching other work so they don't become associated with shit work, and take undue credit for better work. (that might lead to broken hands)

    Ahh so you have this simple line drawing that had "blown out" lines. .. this can be fixed by a bigger tattoo over it. but you need to place a dark piece of the new tattoo over the existing.. obvious you prob knew that.. i don't know what you need help with. get something you like bigger than that old tattoo!!

    So now that one looks like this.....

    Of course he scarred me and now I'll always have a raised triangle, but you have to admit that's better!

    (did I mention I wanted a 1 inch tattoo and not my whole left side done??)

    Now working on this one...

    Not raised and scarred like the old one, but close enough to the first cover up to make this extra hard :oops:

    shit. it's far away from the new tat... maybe you could make it clouds... or a symmetrical tribal, add one across the side of hip

    Well to be honest I don't care if they are one tattoo - two tattoos -

    Anything that is an improvement will make me happy...

    The cloud idea was thrown around today, except they turned into giant black clouds and that looked silly...

    Here is where those buildings came from.....
