Hi this is my first post here, i have some questions i hope i could get some help on while picking out a design. I want to cover up a tattoo about 2×2 inches right below the inside of my elbow.(i have a picture attached. I really wanted to get Celtic knot work animal to cover it up. Is this possible since the first tattoo is so dark? (i also attached a example of something i would want, i understand it will probably have to be darker. ( i also attached another image of a blackbird could be used a cover up if colored in darker? Thoughts and opinions really appreciated.
This is what i have no
Below are designs i like.

Your best bet is to go to an artist that you want to and ask them what can be done with it. I’d imagine it wouldn’t be too hard to cover that up. but I’d toss that last design idea out, its way too intricate, it’ll look like a blob of ink after a couple years.
yeah thats what my freinds have said. Im a big fan of the celtic animal designs though that i posted about. Im just not sure if what is a possibility before i go in there. Do you think it will be a problem since it has thick lines?
If you find a skilled artist I doubt he’d have a problem covering that up, thick lines and all. You’re lucky that the piece is small, and that you want to keep it celtic. I’ve heard that covering a celtic piece with another celtic piece isn’t that hard.
Have you thought of getting it removed with a laser? I bet it would only take a few sessions for that piece. And even if they don’t manage to get it all out, a piece like that would lighten up significantly giving your artist an easier job to cover it up. It would also free up more options of what could be done with the cover up. Just a suggestion. But like I said earlier, your best bet is to go to your artist and ask him/her. I’ve seen some beautiful cover ups, it all really comes down to your artists skill level.
