I am a noob and all, but I do think these don't look that bad, I would stop at a reputable shop, you can conjure up ideas together. For my first tattoo that is what I did, My artist was great. I think things will run flush together with a little work with a reputable artist. Since they are close to the same area on both legs you could get a full cover up on both sides to conjoin when your legs are together maybe? In my opinion, I wouldn't do any laser treatment, you could definitely work with this. These are not bad looking, Believe me some of my friends "home fried" tattoos out here in the boonies of Tennessee are definitely worse. You haven't seen bad until you have seen some real rednecky stuff done around here. Good luck friend. If you want full cover ups I think it is more than possible.
