I just had this done about an hour ago. It hurt like hell, its sore but I’m very happy I did it. It was done by Kris Lambright of Golden A Tattoo’s in Fort Wayne, IN. Here’s my before photo…

And here it is after…

Can’t really see the after pic. It looks like a giant blob.

Dude from those pics it looks horrible. Your next cover up is what a long sleeve shirt?

Well, to each their own. As long as you’re pleased but to me it looks like an ink blot psychology test. I’m sure it will look MUCH better with better pictures though.

Thanks. I have no way of posting better photos right now. This was done with a cell phone camera. When my tattoo artist post it online or I get my computer fixed I can take better photos. But it has a design inside the shell. Its a tribal with Boricua on the side. Its a sea turtle and my original tattoo was very hard to cover so it had to be dark.

This my tattoo buddies is why I love my job.
The first tattoo was of course total shit.
The second tattoo maybe way better and the OP may love it, but being fair to every one its still kinda poor and it aint gonna win any prizes thats for sure.
Two or 3 sessions with my laser and you could have had almost any tattoo you wanted rather than the big black blob.
Like you said your happy and thats all that counts but happy with the best of a bad job can never be as good as happy with a great result.

It IS better than the first one, but it DOES look like a giant black blob. Bet in a few years it will look like crap, sadly.

You cannot really see what it looks like because my photos are poor. Pictures are poor not the tattoo. Its a turtle not a black blob with a purple design and like I said, its my body and if its my mistake it’s mine. I love it. I’m thinking of adding flowers around it.
