Save up a little and wait until you can cover up your crap tattooo with one that looks really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

emerald1978   10 #3820 Posted January 16, 2011 I'm after a dark coloured tattoo covering up on the full length of my my forearm, I've been to the places around the Manor/Handsworth area,and the quotes were far to much than i budgeted for. Does anyone know any decent,but cheap places to have it done?  Go and see Shane at Mystik Ink at Woodhouse he coverd a black one up for me at bottom of my spine last year. Others i went too said nothing could be done it needs lasering, you cant even tell its a cover up my mates were amazed. If i have anymore ill be going back to him for them. Prices are good and service is ace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

cuddlycats   10 #3822 Posted January 16, 2011 You may find this difficult to get covered up properly-especially as its dark. To be covered properly so it looks good, the new tattoo usually needs to be 3/4x the size of the original to make it blend in.  Id save and go to a very good artist if i was you as i might end up being irreparable if covered by just a tattooist. I use artisan at Swinton. He is very good & does alot of of reworks/cover ups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

tracey Jayne   10 #3826 Posted January 16, 2011 Do laser removals leave really bad scars ? I really want to get rid of one of mine (it is not very big) but am scared the scar will look worse than the tattoo itself !  hay yeah it hurts having laser on one now and it looks awful too worse than having it on in the first place - have it covered up instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
