If he’s not a beginner, then he’s not very good.

I don’t know about a cover up, I’m not experienced enough to give that kind of opinion, but I would definitely find someone near you to give you some advice. There are a lot of people here qualified to give you advice, but I think most of them only look at certain threads, and also only comment on threads that interest them, so try to convey that you are serious about fixing this and not just looking for praise. The artists on here have phenomenal shit detectors. I believe that you are looking for an honest response, and not taking shit personally, which is why I have taken a keen interest in this thread. The work, with the exception of that first panther, is very sub-par, but I wouldn’t totally give up on it. Cats are always an awesome theme, and I have seen some good artists work magic on shit that looked irreparable. So chin up, brah! Anything can be made to look at least a little better, and your stuff ain’t horrible.

lol Hey, man. Most of us have ink that we regret, which is why we are trying to keep you from having the same thing. Go to a different artist, check out their work, especially in the area of your interest. Ever see “The Mechanic”? Victory Loves Preparation.

Meh. I actually like the punisher tat much better than the skyline. But again, subjective.
