Hey ppl.
I’m looking for some suggestions for what I can do to cover up this on my brothers arm:

He loves tattoos and decided to get his fourth I think it is, but for some unknown reason decided to have ‘100% Lesbian’ plastered on his arm as some sort on in joke with his friends…and whats worse it doesnt even say that. I dont gettit, but whats done is done and now he, unsurprisingly, wants it gone ๐Ÿ™‚

I’ve have some rough ideas here to change it, dunno what you think, but I’m finding it very hard to change whats already made, designing from scratch is alot easier.

Obviously I’d tidy them up alot and they’d ofc be blocked in, but this is what I have so far. The first is similar to another he has, random lines and blocks, and the second is his initials. Personally I prefer the initials but he already has this on his other arm..

..which I designed and quite like and looks better than the pic makes it…ahem ๐Ÿ™‚ Anyway, kinda not sure if having A F Y plastered on himself twice would be too much, and after all that I havnt got a clue what to suggest for the ‘100%’, its just so high above the rest that its a pain to include it.

Anyway, sorry for the rambling on, any suggestions or ideas or whatever would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

Nah, im just the guy whos been roped in to help him clean up the mess ๐Ÿ™‚ He wants to get something over the top of what he has, but i can only really extend on what he has already, so thats why ive come to you guys as i think youd have a much better understanding on what is possible and maybe have some ideas.

Sorry, got a bit late last night to answer.
Im not an artist, i did a load of stuff through college/uni design wise so i have some basic knowledge, but unfortunately life got in the way afterwards and i ended up going in a completely different direction ๐Ÿ™‚
My brother seems to like some of the stuff i come up with (hes got 2 things on his right arm which ive designed), so he asked me to help try and sort the left arm out but like ive said designing something from scratch is completely different to trying to change something else.
Personally id like to change it to the word ‘Stupid’ for getting something that daft, but that doesnt really help, heh.
I did think about making it into bands around his arm but hes since got a rose on the opposite side so that went out of the window.
Do you think it could be made into some sort of tribal design, and if so how would you do it?
