Sol James Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hello everyone. I’d like your opinions on this please. I’m booked in to continue with my arm, at the end of September. He’s a great artists, and works at a high profile shop. It’s recently been pointed out to me that part of a rose, I’ve already got, is a bit “penis like!” If you can’t see it, then great! It’s in the center and It is bugging me a little. Funny though, I’d never noticed it before and it’s 3-4 years old! Basically, shall I live with it, or ask if there’s anything that can be done at my next appointment? What do you all think?

Gingerninja Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Okay, did someone tell you that it looked like a penis or did you get the idea all by yourself? scottyg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8129-advice-on-existing-tattoo/#findComment-139932 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah seriously, it was mentioned! In fact the same person said it twice. I thought nothing of it the first time, but had a look the second, and thought, “yes, it does indeed look like a penis”!!! I’m not at all the obsessive type, but thought I’d get some opinions! scottyg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8129-advice-on-existing-tattoo/#findComment-139933 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogrider Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 That's really rude to do that to someone. To do it twice is just gauche. I'd tell her to knock it off. As @scottyg said, if someone has a enough of tattoos and you look hard enough, you'll find something phallic.

Just a bit of husband and wife banter! Like I said, it hasn’t bothered me that much! It seems phallic tattoos are quite common around here, then! I appreciate people’s oppinion on the matter...

oboogie Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 It doesn't remotely look like a penis. Maybe it's her way of telling you she's not getting enough?

oboogie Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A PENIS. Oh, my god. IT DOES NOT. Your wife might need glasses, or you have one weird-looking penis, man. 😂 gtrjunior and scottyg 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8129-advice-on-existing-tattoo/#findComment-139958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerninja Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Yep...I see exactly the spot you are referring to. It's awesome. If anyone other than you wife was looking at it that closely, then THAT would be an issue! scottyg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8129-advice-on-existing-tattoo/#findComment-139959 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands On Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 the only two options i like are to 1) leave it as is or 2) blackout the part that looks like a penis 😉 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8129-advice-on-existing-tattoo/#findComment-139970 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would depend on what the artist thinks... the only reason why it’s an issue to me is because it’s part of a piece I had done for our first son.... most people here seem to think leave it though.....

bluebullets Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I see what your friend was saying, unfortunately.. You have 2 options: accept it, like it get it covered, or talk to a cover-up artist Only you can decide.. Does it bother you so much that you think about it daily? Get it covered. No? don't worry about it. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8129-advice-on-existing-tattoo/#findComment-141215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsie24 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Leave it. can be a private joke for you and your wife. I doubt anyone else will think it unless you say anything. Also you and your wife will be the only people who ever look at it in that much depth anyway,. 🙂 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8129-advice-on-existing-tattoo/#findComment-142043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
