Mireille Pelland Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 My name is Mireille. I'm from Canada! I have a few tattoos already and have had bad experiences so nowadays it's extremely important to me to find the best tattoo artists for my specific needs. I believe every artist has one technique (amongst others) that they are really good at, so it's all about picking the right one for the work I want done! :) The main reason why I joined this community is because I have a tattoo of my ex boyfriends name on my lower back (see pictures) and I need some ideas on what to cover it with. I've seen a couple tattoo artists and the ideas they've given me so far are: - an owl - flowers - wings None of these really stuck to me so I'm looking for new ideas! Thanks!!

purplelace Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Hi and welcome :) What about a skull? Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5763-my-intro/#findComment-105703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mireille Pelland Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 See that'd be doable but skulls, dragons, devil and tribal type stuff just isn't my style....I had thought of an angel but not sure wether it would work or not!

purplelace Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Fair enough :) What about a stylised angel? Maybe suggest it to a tattooist and see what they think?

marley mission Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 i vote for leave it and start getting cool stuff elsewhere its a memory and some are good and some are bad my tattoos represent both though most wouldnt guess it anyway - good luck in either case and welcome Mireille Pelland 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5763-my-intro/#findComment-105709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mireille Pelland Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Yea I'd leave it except that my ex boyfriends name is so huge and my current boyfriend hates it. I honestly don't blame him though, and I also hate to see it everyday! It brings back way too many BAD memories! marley mission 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5763-my-intro/#findComment-105720 Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplelace Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'm curious as to why you got your ex bf's name tattooed on you. Not attacking, just curious.

Mireille Pelland Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Thank you so much! :) - - - Updated - - - We were together for a long time and got it while we were together. He was also very controlling so I almost felt like I had to! :/ But when I got it I was like oh well if it doesn't work out it can be covered!

purplelace Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Fair enough and yes my ex told me, he didn't want me to get tattoos on knees/below the knee or any more work done. I don't think he appreciated the laughing and he was told where to go and shown the door. Him being tattooed himself, thought that was hypocritical of him, but never mind. Am better off without him. Started getting tattooed again this year (pics in my intro thread if you're curious) and am happy :) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5763-my-intro/#findComment-105729 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mireille Pelland Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 yea I took a look at them! You've got so much work done! It's amazing! I love it! purplelace 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5763-my-intro/#findComment-105730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeSea Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Welcome! It would help an artist if you had some basic ideas, like the angel for them to work with. We can all throw out ideas, but it should be important to you. It sounds like you might not have been completely in control of the last one, so this is the perfect time for you to imagine something that would be *you*. Is there something you got out of the bad relationship, like feeling like you have strength or something? Look for an image that represents how you feel now. Anyway, just a thought and good luck!

Mireille Pelland Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'd want more of an elegant/pretty angel Here's some pics for ideas: I also wanted a specific tree added on eventually into a back piece...I'm just unsure of how to mix in the angel, the tree and possibly flowers but yet still have it looking good and cover the last one! I'd love to maybe have the angel sitting by the tree or something...not too sure how to make it work! Here's the tree - - - Updated - - - - - - Updated - - - Here's the links to the other 2 angels that didn't show up! http://tattoodesignimages.net/pretty-angel-tattoos-gallery-design/ http://www.jessicatiff.com/angels-tattoo-images/angels-tattoo-images-10/ Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5763-my-intro/#findComment-105737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Weder Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Personally, from an enthusiasts perspective, I reckon a back is made for 1 full scale tattoo. I'd look beyond what you already have & think about a grand design, flowing over and onto your cheeks. The tattoo you dislike so much can easily be covered this way.

purplelace Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I agree, talk it over with your tattooist about a full back piece, they'll be able to sort it out. Work in the tree and the angel, with existing one. I agree that the back is made for one piece, but have seen exciting pieces merged into one back piece which does look well. Depends on what you want and what your tattooist can visualise.
