Hi all..
Just thought I’d drop by with an update on some more of my cover up work, done Friday.
Again done by Ondine @ Living Colour
Sorry about the poor quality and reflection of the photo’s, but I guess you get the idea!
Before Cover Up:
Old school swallow with ex gf’s name and heart with arrow
After 1st Session: (2 hours)
Replaced with japanese snake design with paper lantern & lotus flower.
That’s impressive placement skill your artist’s got
Great work, can’t wait to see how it looks when finished.
Thanks guys…. obviously lots more to do, but was pleased with it considering I’m just 2 hours in ๐
Take my hat off to Ondine, it really can’t be easy covering up that old school crap, but she just grabs a pen and readjusts the lines freehand where necesarry to get it as close as she can, hoping this is going to be nice and colourful when done, my only gripe with Ondine is she always uses alot of white & the colours are out within a few months, looks great at the start but shite onece its gone, why don’t artists consider this more when they use it so much? :confused:
The paper lantern is a great idea, haven’t seen that in tattoos very often, if at all!
Looks like it’s going to turn out great, congrats ๐
Looks great! I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
The color in the lotus is really very nice.
That’s ace, even knowing there was one there before you can’t tell.
Nice one.
Thanks for the feedback guys, sorry I havnt responded sooner but I’ve been away in our camper to the isle of wight since my last post!
Will update thread with more pics when it’s finished ๐
Just an update should anyone be interested, finally got back and got my leg coloured in today!
Appologies for the quality of the photo, not the best as it’s taken on my webcam but I guess you get the idea ๐
Great work. Cant even tell it was a cover job. What is the design in the lantern? Congrats on the ink.

Thanks Patrick
The design in the lantern means nothing really, Ondine the artist just did it to help obliterate the outline of the love heart, would have prefered it without but I just let her do her thing, she seems to know what works best and I trust her.
Just glad the old school stuff is gone as it reresented bad times for me, it was an ex girlfriends name in the swallows scrol and the heart was also done when we were together, after a 3 year relationship she cheated on me with my best friend and then left me! I now have the love of a good woman who I have been with for over 10yrs so having this particular work done has been very liberating and was well over due ๐
Thanks for the coment
