I have one tattoo. I got it when I was 19 and I am 30 now. It’s about 4 or 5 inches tall. I want to get it covered up with the the tattoo of the koi fish. Is this possible and how much bigger would it have to be? Since I have brown skin what colors would be good to color the fish so that they can show? The cat originally had a red nose and green eyes. The green is still green, but the red blended into my skin. I would like blues, pinks, and purples. I’m hoping I could get it covered up with the koi, but if not I may have to suffer with it and get the koi tattooed on my arm.
Hello,
Welcome to the forum!
I’m not going to pretend to be an artist that deals with this type of issue. I work in steel, copper, and brass.
Just looking at the general shape of both the tattoo and the koi artwork, I don’t see how the koi will cover up the cat.
I would suggest flowers of some type. Do you have any favorites?
Blues, pinks, and purples? If the red blended in, and koi are usualy orange to red-orange that may have a problem holding up. Turquois. The cat’s body is somewhat vase shaped, How about a turquois vase or pitcher with flowing flowers?
I’ll be thinking of this.
Later, Sam
Sure it looks like that could cover it. You look to be a sister so make sure when researching and choosing an artist that they have plenty of experience working with darker skin. Good luck.
That looks more like a Betta fish than a Koi.
Hi I thought so too, but I did a search of Butterfly Koi and they seem to have long fancy fins. Not as much as the drawing.
I was looking at the narrow part of the fish between the head and tail. I guess a good artist could surely draw it to cover the whole cat.
Please post some photos when it’s done.
Hello Im a newbie on this forum, but a cover up specialist, I love doing them not saying Im the best I just take great pride in them, back to point A koi would most indeed cover that tattoo, but choose your artist carefully, make sure he has a bunch of good coverups under his belt, do your research and youll be happy with the results
