Tattoo help required please

[Starboy91]

Hi guys,  Long story short my tattoo journey so far has been a disaster (mostly my fault)

 I am almost at a place where I can actually look at sleeve in the mirror without feeling like crap

 I want to get the top part of my above reworked (above the Buddha) 

I feel the lotus flower needs to be reworked and to shade over the colours around it as I feel it just too much 

 

any thoughts on this would be much appreciated 

 

thanks

That can be covered (recovered?) - by the right artist. 

Where are you located?

Located in U.K., Birmingham 

Do you know of any artist please?

[SStu]

Sorry, my database for UK artist more revolves around black and dot work, but . . .

I know I am on the right track as I found them also

thank you for looking

do you have any suggestions on what could be done

It's already pretty dark, so my guess is that it could be re-worked by someone who could sharpen up the lines and make the colors richer. Add some detail.

That's a mess alright. You can't go back and not do this, but you can avoid making the same mistakes again. Just my opinion, but you'd be better off finding someone to rework it than to try to cover it. Some bright colors would really help.

I agree with you both 

will definitely get it reworked, not after a miracle just want it obvious what the tattoo is rather than looking like random stuff 

 

thanks for your help
