lusher16 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hey everyone, I recently had a tattoo covered up and wanted to get your thoughts on the cover up. The artist that did the cover up does very good work in my opinion. The original "USMC" tattoo was very crooked so I wanted to get it covered. I also went through 4 laser treatments before the cover up. Let me know your thoughts. I've attached a before and after image. hogg, marley mission and The Tig 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6124-new-cover-up-eagle/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustingormley Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Eagles are always a good choice. Did the laser treatment hurt? Was there a lot of black in the USMC tattoo? I hear color is harder to laser. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6124-new-cover-up-eagle/#findComment-112118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusher16 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 The laser treatments definitely hurt worse than the tattoo but they're really quick. There was actually quite a bit of color in the USMC tattoo. The only black was the actual lettering. The color is definitely harder to laser than black from my experience. What do you think of the cover up? Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6124-new-cover-up-eagle/#findComment-112119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shit Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 you can't see the old tattoo in the pic,but it could be a lot better.I only see one talon,and you can't make out the wings that good.Go to google images and type in Eagle Perched,and take a look at those compared to yours.

jen7 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 what matters most is, what do YOU think. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6124-new-cover-up-eagle/#findComment-112126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusher16 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 The other talon wasn't in the shot because of the angle I had to use for the picture. What would be a suggestion if I want to make the wings more pronounced? Would some highlights work?

Scott R Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Who was the artist? Does the tattoo look like the reference you gave him/her? Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6124-new-cover-up-eagle/#findComment-112131 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustingormley Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 It's better than what you had for sure. I wouldn't get it, but if you like it that's what matters. In my opinion the tattoo isn't really good or bad, it's kinda in the middle.

lusher16 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Thanks, I think it's pretty sweet as well. - - - Updated - - - No, I was just wanting to show everyone and see what they thought. I thought the artist did a great job covering the old tattoo.

commonwealthvirginia Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Looks good to me. Next time you might want to look through internet databases to see if there are tattoo ideas that you might enjoy. You can probably search through instagram/tumblr/pintrest. Or you can go to specific databases like TattoosOMFG.

ludlow Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Definitely in + than ori, but... it could be more better :) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6124-new-cover-up-eagle/#findComment-120964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadore Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I think that as a cover up it works fine but in itself I wouldn't say that this eagle is a great tattoo. Most important aspect is that you are happy with it!
