Goes to show you should always look at your artist’s portfolios before hand

Dude don’t get her name, if you’re going to get something to represent your relationship, get an awesome piece of art that will look cool even if you break ties!

People definitely do read these posts, and you’ve got some cool ink

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

Looks solid for how small it is, nice piece of traditional art

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

Welcome Pete! Hurry up and upload some pics!

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

I can’t see your picture

So the boat is going to have a lions face, and the sun is going to have a libra face, all with Japanese waves?

I love B/G tattoos. I’m not real familiar with Asian work but there’s something about the head/face on your dragon I don’t like. Overall it’s a nice tattoo and looks well done.

I can dig it, there’s a lot of detail in the head that is hard to see in my phones picture that I really like, I might have to try and take a better picture

Cool man, yeah it was taken about 2 hours after, still a bit red

Something like that, I take it you guys have a bias towards colorful tattoos

Anyone? lol

Here it is after the second session

I have seen a few well done medieval dragons done, and I still think that trad. Japanese dragons trump any that I’ve seen. I also would have to agree that mixing any styles, such as the Buddha with the medieval dragon could look out of place, just my thoughts thought

Upload a picture of it

I would bet that you will be just fine.. Your skin seems fair enough to let color dominate the black, but don’t take my opinion too seriously, go to a PROFESSIONAL who is very good at cover ups, and keep in mind not every good tattoo artist is good at cover ups, it takes a special hand

Tribal sucks, get something more rad.. A Japanese piece that big would look awesome

Find a better artist and tell them what you want

And that first tattoo looks horrid, good idea though
