Instead of getting a lot of small ones, why not get a larger scale piece, seagull or butterfly, with wonderful colors and detail

My bad, I didn’t clearly read your first post, you want that tattoo covered up..

Shouldn’t be bad, a butterfly would work, but with how tall your tattoo is, it would have to be a larger piece.

Hell, I’m sure you could cover those little things up with what ever you wanted if you could find the right artist, which is key

Sorry I didn’t read either. I’m not sure that a butterfly will work unless it pretty big. I think a flower would work great for covering that.

length: 10 cm
width: 2cm – 8 cm (it gets wider downwards)

can it be covered with a colorful tattoo? do colorful tattoos fade away in the following years? and how big should it be?

Just take care of it, keeping it moist right after and keeping it out of the sun or use sun screen, and you shouldn’t have to worry about any serious fading

Yep some roses will cover it just fine.
and we don’t use decimals with inches we use fractions 😉

Buttwheat, I feel the same way but it seems inevitable that we’re headed that way! I work at a steel fabrication company and when I see drawings sent from our customers with metric dimensions, I hate it. Give me something I can work with! Well, okay, it’s really not a problem with the joys of software these days….but I still hate it. 😡

So you’re honestly claiming that it’s easier to know what 2 12/16″ means, than what 70mm means?

The 12ths and 16ths mathematical systems are just idiotic, and insanely difficult to calculate on the fly. You might as well be doing math in binary or hex. (and no, in case you’re overly sensitive, in no way am I indicating that YOU are an idiot).
I can’t for the life of me understand why the English decided to use that, rather than the mathematically MUCH simpler system of 10s. Thankfully, however, the US and the UK are both slowly fading the 10s system into the educational programs.
