I need to get rid of this ugly tattoo!

[Ihatemytat]

I got this tattoo when I was 15 years old and I hate it! It was done very poorly and it is so f'n generic! I want to cover it up/ add onto it and get it retouched so bad but I'm having a hard time coming up with ideas. I'd rather not walk into a shop having no clue what I want to do so I thought I'd get some opinions. I don't want something really huge but I wouldn't mind going slightly larger.

I would like a more unique design that will make my tattoo look less ghetto.

any ideas are appreciated

Thanks!!

Copy and paste the link (I know it's a lot of work but please :) )

That is something that's easily covered. Which in turn opens up a large amount of options that understandably makes it difficult to make a decision. It would be best to talk to your artist in person so that He/She can help read whats right for you and narrow down the options at the same time. Roses, Peacock feathers, and motion off a larger designs are my personal favorite to use covering up things like that. hope this helps.

pretty much anything you're interested in getting there will cover that thing.

Keep us posted on your progression :D

Welcome to LST. Take a look in the gallery section of this site and in the design section of the forums because there are a lot of great tattoos and ideas there and hopefully something there will inspire you. Let us know how it goes.

Have you considered laser removal?

Also, where ar you located? We can totally suggest decent artists that will meet you with and discuss your options.

Instead of trying to think of a design or an idea first, try either checking out some shops or some tattooers whose work you might like. I know not everyone wants to pore over portfolios, especially for a small tattoo that may be your first, but it can definitely point you in the right direction and get you thinking. Like @CultExciter said, let us know where you're at and maybe we can get you started.

I agree. You might get the best results by meeting with the tattooer of your choice and working with them to design something you will love. The artist might have some great ideas you wouldn't have though of on your own.

I think you should keep it, I mean you made your username based on it. Just get more tattoos and you won't even worry about it any more.

One day when you have a sleeve or two and 30 other tattoos you'll be able to say 'this was my first'
