I have a tattoo of a lotus on the back of my neck. I’m happy with it, except for one small detail: it’s missing a seed pod in the center.
I’d really like to add one, but have been told by one artist already that the coverup would be pretty obvious. However that’s just one opinion…I’d like some input from you all- do you think it would be possible to make this change in a not-so-obvious way? I’d rather keep my original design than walk around with a super obvious coverup. Thanks.

I do, actually.
This is what I’m referring to:
The round thing in the middle.
Like I said it’s not a HUGE deal or anything, just something I’d be interested in doing if it were possible.
If such details are important to you, you should make sure to tell your artist. It’s art – such details don’t matter to everyone.
Not just with this piece, but in the future as well. I didn’t get that that is what you were wanting to add.. Didn’t you check out the stencil before it being tattooed?
A cover-up or add-on of that would be rather obvious, yes.

That is an older flower than most I’ve seen. It has already been pollinated and is now on it’s way to produce seeds.
Rather than mess with the flower you have, add another one in this stage of life.
Fuck! Add several!
Considering that, actually! 🙂

I did take a look at the stencil after the artist transferred it onto my skin… but because of the placement I had to look in a mirror and didn’t get a close look at the details. I do still love my lotus even if it isn’t 100% perfect, but I definitely know now to look REALLY closely and make sure everything is exactly as it should be for my next tattoo. Thanks for the input.

Next time take a good close look at the drawing/stencil BEFORE it is put on. Especially when it is going onto an area that you cannot see well, but even other places, because once the stencil is on you are usually either looking at the image upside down or at a mirror image. That way when you check it after it is applied you can concentrate on checking the placement and how it flows on your body, rather than the finer details.
