New & considering a coverup

[shampoobottle]

Hello! I’ve wanted a birdcage tattoo for about ten years and I finally did it last month! However, it started blowing out the next day and the lines healed very crooked. I went back to see what he could do to fix it and he said outlining it in white ink would help 😕 I don’t like it. I had some flowers tattooed on my ankle last week and she did a great job! No blow outs or anything. I asked about cover up options and she said it was possible to cover it up and it’d be easy since it was small! What do you guys think?? We’re thinking of covering up the old one with a flower/leaves and adding a new birdcage beside it.

hi and welcome, yes for sure,if the artist says that she would do the cover-up and what you want,I would definitely have her do it, the flowers she did look really nice.

Lines don’t heal crooked. They are put on crooked.

The size is way too small for the design

He's lying. That's not how it works. I would never go back to someone like that.

Yes, but find someone that does a lot of coverups.

easily covered. Get used to the idea that it's going to be significantly larger - and send us a link to the intended artist.

Old one can still be seen through it but it looks better than it did

Thanks! It looks so much better than the orginal. I can see more of the old cafe as this one heals but it still looks overall better so I don’t even mind lol

The same artist that did my leg flowers. Original birdcage was done by a different guy

Much better I think - the first birdcage looked pretty bad to my inexpert eyes...

The casual observer would never notice the original unless you brought attention to it.
