I simply stated my opinion. You’re free to disagree all you want. Maybe if you can’t work with what is there, you’re not a very good artist. And though you’re trying to be crass by calling me a “chick”, I am in fact a man. Don’t get tough from behind your keyboard, pal.
Also...to address the question of walking in with a pic. For an entire sleeve like you want it’s unrealistic to think that somebody could perfectly recreate a picture you found online. You’re best bet is to talk to the artist and let them come up with a unique design that will be all yours!
I have a half sleeve on my right arm and I’m currently working on a full sleeve on my right. Every step of the way we have discussed what we are going to have in the design. The artist draws it on my skin with a sharpie and then I check it out in the mirror. I have input the whole time. But, you’ve got to trust the artist to do his/her thing. They are the professional and it’s what they do for a living. Despite other’s opinions I think you can definitely get a killer sleeve in the desired style. Just be open to ideas. The current tats you have may present limitations but I certainly don’t think you need to have them lasered.
I understand perfectly. His current tats are so small and light that any good artist in the style should have no problem incorporating them into a sleeve. And by the way....this is a discussion forum. If you want to disagree with me that’s your prerogative. What we don’t need is your cocky “Umm’s” and capitol emphasis words. That’s just being a jerk, unnecessarily.
Well you sort of made my point for me. Had this been a big black panther that he wanted to cover then there’s no way. But because they are light, small geometric shapes a good artist in this style could easily incorporate what is already there into a design that would work I the style the op wants to go with.
See, I respectfully disagree. Again, I’m not an artist but those tats are small and not heavily colored and dark. A good coverup doesn’t necessarily have to actually “cover” it. It may incorporate what is already there and make it part of the new piece. I’m not seeing anything there that a good artist can’t work wonders with.
I’m not a tattoo artist but based on pictures etc that I’ve seen I would think that what you’re looking to do is definitely possible. You should research artists in your area that specialize in cover ups and go in for a face to face to get a definitive answer.
Hi! I’m psychic. The answer to your question is: “Your tattoo needs 4-6 weeks to heal. “ J/k But the vast majority of first time posters ask: “I had a tattoo done a week ago. Why does my tattoo look like.... Is something wrong with it?”
Ok...here’s a few crappy bathroom mirror pics. Lol The Led Zep Swan song tat was from when I was about 25. He said he can incorporate it into this current tattoo. It will be interesting to see how he does it.
