Hey all, my first post! Was interested in a chest cover up, what do you guys think?

Lasering.

Yeah, that's one option...I was hoping for a cover up, though...Perhaps a silhouette

You have an already huge piece of black. I don't see much hope in a cover up unless you consider tattooing the entire front side of your entire torso. Which would look killer.

Silhouette wasn't the proper term, I meant "negative space"...Something like this:

That's not gonna take care of it. And you're gonna have a huge tattoo no matter what. Why don't you go see the person that did that hannya? Best advice for this job is to walk into a shop and talk an artist.

Internet advice on this is barely helpful at best. Someone needs to spend a few minutes drawing on you with some markers.

I like that piece, Jun Cha on Matt Kemp I think..

as much as I like the tat it wouldn't work as a cover up as your artwork is already so black..

'white' tribal is probably the worst thing to try and cover up, if I was you, go the laser route, then go for the cover up..
