When I was 19 my sister convinced me to let her boyfriend tattoo me. She had nice tattoos and said he did some of hers, so I agreed. I thought it over and just wanted an outline of a labrys. Really simple, easy to fix later if it wasn't right, or I could fill it with a professional design later... I thought it through! He didn't like the idea at first and eventually agreed, and started building the gun. I wad scared because he essentially made a prison gun. Made with random parts (Phone charger, spring from a lighter for the needle, and hobby lobby ink. I have regrets.) He did it and it was terrible. Handle was crooked, it was mostly scar tissue, and he did "shading". I got another friend to try and fix it but I just literally hate it at this point. It's like a pile of shit with glitter on it. Like it's not 'awful' but it's certainly not a "yo, check out my tat!" Worthy. I want to cover it up if possible or even just improve it. Any thoughts?
A quality artist could cover that up easy. You'll likely have to qo quite a bit larger to cover it correctly (maybe double the size). Quality tattoos arent cheap.
i have seen a lot worse then that, a lot worse. is it on your forearm? You have a lot of optoins, cover up or cleaned up. check out this improvement also stop getting house tattoo's unless you want hepatitis or something.
