jukixel Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hi guys, so I recently got a cover up and it's a little over 2 weeks in the healing process. I'm finally starting to like it, but it doesn't fully cover up my old tattoo! There are hints of the old tattoo still showing through (where the arrows in the picture point to the faint black curved line). Is there any way to fix this and cover this part up better? Can I just go back for a touch up and maybe have the tattoo artist go over it one more time with some shading and yellow ink? Thanks for the advice.

Dan Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 IMO just leave it alone,if you F*** with it ,will only screw it up, my guess is if you don't point it out to anyone ,nobody will notice the tiny lines. it looks fine to me. michi0709, oboogie, scottyg and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8460-how-can-i-fix-this-cover-up/#findComment-143445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerninja Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 And you need to breathe. It looks fine. No one will ever notice as @Dan said. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8460-how-can-i-fix-this-cover-up/#findComment-143449 Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS! Read it over and over until you get it. Monkeying with a tattoo will make it worse more often than it will make it better. oboogie 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8460-how-can-i-fix-this-cover-up/#findComment-143456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
oboogie Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 It looks fine. I have a cover up, and if I sit and stare at it, I can see a faint line or two. Who cares? Just get more tattoos. If you try to do anything else to that, it is going to look like deep-fried ass. Just leave it.

JAC1961 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I agree with everyone else that it's good the way it is. I'm not a tattoo artist, but I gotta believe covering black (I assume it's black underneath) with yellow wasn't the best plan. But that's just me.
