cover up

4 messages · last activity 9/20/2006

hi guys, wanna know if you can help. i got a blue star with yellow and orange flames coming off it on my left upper arm. i want a half sleev but do not want to include this. does anyone know how easy it is to cover it up if at all possible. thanks
Everythings possible, nothing is so bad a little lasering couldnt hurt. Your best bet is to think about the star completely gone. Now, what would you like there? and where do you live, you will need a good artist...
thanks for the reply. i would like to go with a grey look with angels, demons etc. i have considered laser, but was looking at all options possible. i live in coventry, uk and use a regular artist.
My sleeve started out as a coverup... and now incorporates THREE older tattoos, which are completely covered up. The ONLY time you notice them is when I am reaallllly hot, and a few little bits are raised. (they were badly done when I was young, and were slightly scarred). But, one was a big ugly tribal dragon, and like I said, you can't notice it at all unless you know EXACTLY what you are looking for. Heck, my own husband can't remember exactly where it was. It took me a few artists to find someone who could cover it with something feminine, and not some huge black blob though...my advice... shop around!! Look at people's coverup work, and have trust in the person.... lasering it until it at least lightens up would be a good bet. I didn't do that, and I have had no issues.... perhaps I was just lucky:)
