Well, imho, therein lies the problem. Rather than simply booking an app’t to get it done, you’re dancing around it and asking him to sketch something up and so forth. The sketch is typically done the day of your app’t, as the artist really needs to have you there in person to get an idea of how the piece will flow on you – but it’s even more important in the case of a coverup where the artist has to work w/ something that is already there. If you haven’t already burned this bridge, my advice woudl just be to book the app’t already and move forward. None of the really good artists are likely to have patience for this “well, I don’t know ….” If you go to another sh*tty artist, you could end up w/ a piece just as bad off or worse than what you already have. If it were me, I’d be anxious as hell to do anything to get that thing covered up ASAP.

Ah I just assumed he would draw something, and then adjust it to go with my body as needed. That does make sense. I’ll shoot him another e-mail and try to set up an appointment and make the journey over.

Toxyc’s work is great but I’m sure his waiting list is quite long.

wow thats terrible. i dont get why people go to these hack job artists? dont you look at their portfolios? and he sketched out the outline…that in itself is garbage. the color work is disgusting but the design is terribly flawed. i could have shit on a piece of paper and it would looked better than this. i hope you really consider a real artist and not some hack job to fix this mess

In case you haven’t read the first 3 pages of the thread we’ve been over this. So post something useful or kindly GTFO.

Yeah, I agree that it is a bad tattoo. No doubt. It doesn’t even look like a Phoenix. It looks like a chicken on fire. What the hell were you thinking OP to let them put that on you? I agree with the others that I would save up enough cash($2,000 minimum) to get the job done right. Find a credible artist and get it done. You don’t want that thing on you the rest of your life. Ugh.

How about you guys stop rehashing old news and crapping over Phoenix? That’s over and done with, and now we are discussing solutions instead of problems.

Yikes.. I don’t like this being my first post here but that really is a bad tattoo, and everyone else has already established that.

I checked out Tim Pangburns work and if he is willing to cover it with a full backpiece… DO IT. You will love it, even if you never wanted a full piece. What’s done is done, you’re in this for the long haul now. Embrace it!

I agree with the above posters regarding getting a full back piece. It sounds a bit like you’re rushing into it though. I would wait a few months till you’ve saved up enough money to pay for the whole thing before even starting it, that will give you plenty of time to find the right artist.

If you rush into this coverup and its terrible, your only option will be laser removal. Good luck mate, hope it works out for you.

I’ve been trying to meet up with Tim for some time now but he is very difficult to get a hold of, and he recently moved studios so its going to be even more of an issue. I’m heading to Massachusetts for college at the end of August and he says the earliest I’ll be able to even have a consult is mid August so I’m thinking it’s going to be an issue.

I was recommended this man from Bayside Ink:

Any thoughts on his work? I’m going to have him sketch what he thinks he can do for me soon, but unless I really love what he has I’ll probably try to still wait it out for Tim. I would appreciate getting thoughts on his work though.
