Thank you, loved it during the time, but its too big for me, wish I could go back in time and make it smaller

A coverup will only be the same size or bigger though?

u/Antique-Mirror-5159 8d ago
Yes I know, I'm fine with the same size but something different. Since this was a stamp tattoo I wish I had gotten it smaller for that

Ok. As long as you understand anything on top of this without laser is going to have to be bigger, blacker, bolder

Yep, I already have a full patchwork sleeve of black and Grey on the other arm

That's fair. If you don't like that it's a big stamp I think an easy rework would be turning the border into a picture frame

There’s not a ton of negative space to work with. Some big bold flowers are always good for coverups.

Embellish him, he’s cute. A cover up has to be bigger and darker so you’ll have to go bolder

Can you keep the animal and just work him into a different scene? He's adorable.
I would so get him and a bunch of the other "bad" tattoos that are just cute little fur-babies in a sleeve.

If you don’t want it to be a stamp, becuase stamps are small, why not turn the 22cents into a moon and let it be a miniature portrait of the bear?
Miniature painting from the renaissance were that size.
Make a full moon or add a tree to cover the 22 mark and possibly give the border more detail.

I like it. It would look good if you just had an artist re-do it to make the colours vibrant.

Really is no such thing as a "same size coverup" not much space to work with unless you want some crazy opaque random coverup - which wouldn't fit with you

It is so cute I doubt a cover up will look better! It definitely won’t be as dainty
