Cover Up

11 messages · last activity 8/19/2006

I have a 3 stooges tattoo which I want to get covered up. I have been tolf it can be covered up. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what I could get. Here is the link to the tattoo picture: http://www.rankmytattoos.com/Pennsylvania/Philadelphia/5644.html
Dude I have curly on my forearm!, I wouldn't cover that for anything in this world unless it's a really bad scratch. But as a suggestion if you can afford laser that would be great to dilute the tat a bit. with 3-4 sessions you'll be ok to re do it, since your tat is black and laser work best on black ink. It's pretty big for a coverup, but not impossible. I personally don't like to get a huge black panther as solution, that's just me. Hope my this helps. Cravink
I will give you the same answer as I gave you the last time...yes it CAN be covered and go find a competent custom tattoo artist who will give you suggestions.
Oh but Taz...that would require him to do some work! Jeremy
Yo dude, I drove an hour to New Hope, PA to see a guy who was suggested by this site. He said the tattoo could be covered up and took a picture of my tat. I emailed the dude back giving him various suggestions and asking for his ideas but, he never emailed me back. Jeremy must either be a real d!ck or a tattoo artist that gets no business. If someone gave me a suggestion that I liked it could be mean business for his/her shop.
Either that or he doesn't babysit every single tattoo artist out there.. or he's not everybody's mother..
haha, not a tattoo artist yet! And yeah, I was being a dick :), looked to me as if you already asked this question and got a pretty reasonable answer, yet continued to ask it again anyways. No hard feelings though, just having a little fun with ya! Jeremy
More power to ya Jeremy!
Tryin one artists does not constitute a search my friend...personally I would visit with every artist in a 2 hour radius and then think about it some more...do your homework!

THis is not about giving you a suggestion that you like so we can get your business...its about giving you a valid viable suggestion on how to proceed in getting your tattoo covered...you have been told more than once exactly how to do this...visiting one artist just ain't gonna do it...go to every shop you can....also about the shop you did go in that we recommended....did you actually ask someone to design a cover and pay a deposit or did you go in wanting something for free and got blown off?...By what I hear its the latter!
