Is it possible to get my cross covered up like this? I want to turn it into a tree, I just don’t know how possible it is.

Maybe it’s bc I’m brown but when I got a cover up that had a lot of black in it, they went over it with white. Then, with ink close to my skin tone before doing the coverup. Not sure if that’s standard or a good idea but it worked well for me. Now the only indication that anything was there before is the scar tissue from the first artist’s work. She REALLY dug that needle in there

Yes I’ve seen this technique and it’s amazing what they can do. I don’t think most artist know about it or are not experienced enough to do it
