OutOfIdeas

So i made an awesome decision a while ago (heavy sarcasm there) and got a scratcher tattoo on my ankle. The problem i have now, is that i dont think i can get it fixed, because i've now moved to a place where i have to wear shoes (UK). Is there any way around this, or will it infact be ok to get it fixed, and wear shoes over the fresh tattoo? I've looked for advice through google and stuff, and found about half say yes and half no, but it also seems like half the people are just guessing, with no real knowledge or experience on the subject, so i thought i might get better answers here. By the way, the tattoo is right on the side of my ankle, along the Achilles tendon, so it wouldnt rub too badly i dont think. Any advice? I would really like to get this thing fixed, its not gonna be an amazing tattoo ever, but i would like it to be passable AS a tattoo atleast. Thanks for any advice. p.s. i know im an idiot for getting it, it was a spur of the really stupid moment thing, so im not asking for peoples opinions on how stupid i am, just advice on whether or not i can wear shoes over a fresh tattoo, thanks.

In the South-East UK, and thanks, ill check that out.

Hi - im new here, but i figured as i was going to make this thread there wasnt much point in making another to introduce myself. Im 18, and just moved to a new country (huge change in my short life) and away from my parents, who have been my biggest supporters in everything ive ever done, and have always been there for me, so i thought i might get a tattoo to remember them. As i said in the title this will be my first real tattoo, i was pretty stupid and got a tattoo from a homemade gun a while ago, came out terribly but ill get it fixed eventually (i know, im an idiot, try not to make fun of me for that) anyway this is a really rough sketch i did, im absolutely un-artistic, so dont laugh, its just a basic idea. I want the ying yang part because my parents are polar opposits, but they work so well together, and 20+ years on i think they're still in love. The koi fish was just a way to represent each of them, one fish is going to be a more masculine blue, while the other is a more femanine orange or something along those lines. Hopefully ill find a good artist to take my idea and make an amazing peice of art out of it, and make it into a half sleeve. So what do you think? Good idea, bad idea? Think it will make a good tattoo? Thanks for your opinions. Uploaded with ImageShack.us
