Lochlan Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 This is going to be cool to watch this process of removing it then getting a good back piece tattoo. Thanks for taking the time to share this process and including pictures. By the way was this tattoo a cover up of two previous tattoos that I see under on each shoulder blade?

Scott R Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 thanks lochlan, Left shoulder is a cross with memorial right shoulder initials and clover the middle piece covers name of street I grew up in San Antonio. Hindsight I could have gone way smaller to cover and in reality I just needed to cover the middle of my back but I will be happier with proffesionally done work.

Scott R Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 4th session this saturday. May not be best day since taking the family to the zoo directly afterwords.

ian Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 did most of the laser places charge for a consult? I have a big piece on my back that I'd like to lighten and cover but most wanted $100-200 for the consult and if I go with the procedure that money will go to the treatment. I'm just concerned with what the treatment will cost, it's pretty much my whole back :( Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/781-cover-up/?page=2#findComment-17658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott R Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Ian I had several places want consult fee but after I questioned paying to be told how much a service would cost all but one waived it. I walked out of one and the receptionist chased me out and waived the fee. They were the most expensive at $500 a session with 10-12 needed in their opinion. I would suggest comparing lasers to cost. you want the best laser for the cheapest price IMO. Usually the people with the best(most expensive lasers) will have some experience in actual removal.

Scott R Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 did 1 hr and 10 minutes on laser today, then went straight to the zoo with the little one. This was a different girl than before and she made me bleed. After this one heals I think I am done. I would guess some good artists would be comfortable with the amount of this I have knocked out Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/781-cover-up/?page=2#findComment-17998 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott R Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 @gougetheeyes I spoke with james spencer briggs on the phone and he verbally agreed and said whenever I wanted to come out but man I havnt been able to get him to reply or catch him for months to pin down an exact time he wasnt in LA. Ofcoarse if i get work from him it will be b&g something light/dark in subject really would give him artistic freedom. I also dig the idea of something a bit more traditional and at that point I would have a harder decision (in my mind) on artist but subject matter would be pretty simple probably skull,panther or something of the like and lots of roses lol Duffa and kirkson 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/781-cover-up/?page=2#findComment-23682 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan S Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Man...that is some serious commitment right there! Interesting how the old work comes up when the black is broken up...that hand-spiked stuff goes deep. I wish you every success, and hope your new piece is everything you want it to be. I'll be checking this thread often to see your progress. As a side note, I was in Seattle a few years back, and stopped in a shop downtown, just browsing. Brazilian tattooer was working there, ran a big rap on me about tattooing over my existing work with white and re-doing it. Anyone ever heard of or tried this? I wouldn't want to do it, but had never heard of it and was curious.

I wouldn't want to do it, but had never heard of it and was curious. Not exactly what you're talking about, but.... A few years back, I went to a tattooer who also did lasering to get some kanji zapped off my shin. He did several sessions, but it wasn't lightening up much, so he decided to try something. He tattooed white over it, let it heal, then lasered it again. The end result was...well, it wasn't as good as what @Scott R's results are, but I was able to cover it pretty easily. It went from this youthful indiscretion: To this lasered and white-inked version: To this Jeff Rassier piece: Shannon Shirley, Scott R, kylegrey and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/781-cover-up/?page=2#findComment-29301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
