I have a rather large tattoo done in black ink with a lot of shading. It didn’t turn out anything like I hoped and I want to see what my options are for a cover up.
The reason I ended up with this tattoo is a got “sold” the idea of it to cover up another tattoo I didn’t like (I know things are not going well)
I don’t want this to happen again, How do I I get a clear idea of exactly what an artist has in mind? Can Igive them photos and commision them to draw what their vision is for it?
I don’t want to go in and have the do a rough sketch and talk me into yet another tattoo I hate

Thanks

PS, any advice on how to find the very best artists? I am in melbourne

Hi, I don’t know a lot about cover ups. But I do know that those who do will ask to see a picture so that they can give you the best advise.

Yeah, need pics – otherwise, it’s hard to tell you which way to go without knowing what it looks like now

To post the pictures you need to use a photo hosting site (I use photobucket), there will be a code to paste.

I thought you were talking about uploading an artists portfolio pictures or something.

My apologies 😮
