Hey guys, thanks for the replies.
I’m in Australia (melb) so i dont think theres any chance of me getting to the US to have a cover up done :p
I was thinking it could somehow be turned into a lightningbolt, or something tribal (shudder, i hate tribal), or maybe just copy the pattern and extend it a little bit to make it look a little like an ‘arm band’ (shudder, i hate arm bands)… That should get the ball rolling for ideas. As for a black box, do not want, unless its tied somehow into another tattoo so its not just an eyesore sitting there…
