    Hello. New guy here. I wanted to get some opinions on my idea for a half sleeve.
    I am thinking about a traditional Japanese theme of a tiger and snake, but done in black/gray realism style.
    I plan on contacting an artist by the name of Rember Orellana in Lewisville TX.
    One issue though, I have an existing tattoo (20yrs old) that would have to be covered, if possible.
    So, I would like some opinions on my idea before I set up a consult with the artist to see if he is intersted in doing the work, and if its possible.
    Thanks

    Good choice of artist.

    I like the idea but might be better lasering first to lighten it:)

    Rember is legit. Post a picture of your existing ink. Like peter said, lasering first will give the artist way more creativity and freedom executing your piece

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am having issues with my PC, so I can’t post a pic of my existing tattoo. It’s the Pearl Jam “Alive” man. About 2×2 inches, black (a bit faded) located on the center of my deltoid muscle.
    Probably wont get started on this until the end of the year. I am getting work done on my right arm: 2 guardian lions (Foo Dogs) and Hannya mask. I have another appt in Aug to finish the background.
    Thanks again all.

    Well I hope you have those PC issues sorted out soon, because I certainly want to see pics of this one when it is done. You have picked a great artist to work with. Looking forward to seeing it.

    That’s the one. Mine does not cover that much of my arm, and is not as dark anymore.
    I still like it, but want some real art there.
