Hey everyone!
When I was 16 (I’m almost 25 now) I got a Superman tattoo and I’ve been trying to hide it for years. I’ve never had it touched up, hoping it would just fade away (obviously I know it’ll never be gone, but it has faded considerably). For some reason I’d never even considered a cover up to be possible, and it’s lead me to be disinterested in tattoos simply because I didn’t like my own. Recently I’ve been told by a friend that a coverup may be possible. So basically it’s my second time around getting a tattoo and I’d like to do it right this time. It’s exciting! Still though, I have no clue what to cover it up with, the limitations the artist may have because of the design, or how to even go about starting the process at all, really.
I realize it’s an introduction thread and not a help thread, but I’ll attach the pic of the current tattoo anyway and post a separate help thread with some more specific ideas of what I’d like to incorporate in the new design.
It’s exciting to be excited about tattoos again! Thank for having me here!

Yeah it’s faded quite a bit since it’s been about 8 or 9 years since I got it. As for size, it’s about 5″x5″ or so, right in the middle of my upper back. I’ve been trying to think of some dark designs I would like since I figure dark colours would be easier to use in a cover up, but as I said before I know very little about the limitations my current design will bring.
I’ll have a look into the laser surgery idea, I was just under the impression it was just crazy expensive.
Thanks!
