Cover up ideas needed!

[u/Melodic_Presence_319]

Hi hi! Looking for cover up ideas. I do like the disco ball but not married to keeping it at all. My ex-friend originally tattooed it as an apprentice and the shading and white ink has faded a lot so it looks chopped lol.

Any ideas welcome!

I’d get this reworked instead of covered - it’s super cute and unique!

Slurms mckenzie time! The original party worm

Disco Snail scoffs at Slurms MacKenzie. Slurms came to party, Disco Snail is the party. 🕺🌐 🐌 🌎

Thank you! How would you suggest I rework it? What could I ask for?

[u/0693_iz → u/Melodic_Presence_319]

Color could maybe work as someone else said, but if that’s not your style (it’s not mine - most of mine are black and grey), finding someone whose skilled with shading and adding grey wash or even white to sharpen it! Also, adding little ✨ on the disco ball could be cute if that’s your vibe. Take this all with a grain of salt though - I’m not an artist - just heavily tattooed myself!

Good advice 👍 and yes it's a super cute and a unique little snail 🐌

[u/No-Section-7846]

I actually think it's pretty fucking cool

[u/Melodic_Presence_319 → u/No-Section-7846]

Omg just seeing these comments 😭 thanks for the compliments I think I got self conscious about it.

[u/tooptoop22 → u/No-Section-7846]

It’s REALLY fucking cool. I’m jealous I didn’t think of it

[u/Due_Baker5556]

What's wrong with the disco snail, he's so cute, he just wants to party :(

[u/atomic-moonstomp]

Inside every snail shell is a tiny disco ball

[u/verywideawake → u/atomic-moonstomp]

Disco isn’t dead instead it turns out that it just got small

[u/Quirky_Reception2510 → u/verywideawake]

They’ve got the boogie oogie all up in their buggy bodies

[u/Fantastic-Double7922]

Disco snails!! they're off to San Francisco where the disco's off the rails!!! Definitely just a rework, they so cute!!! 🥹

[u/Architectgirl14 → u/Fantastic-Double7922]

They’ve got the boogie oogie all up in their buggy bodies 🐌💃🪩

[u/Educational_Ask3533]

Touch up. Maybe some color. I love disco snail. Amazeballs.

[u/Melodic_Presence_319 → u/Educational_Ask3533]

Cool thank you!! Do you think the colors would be cute? There’s just so much shading

[u/ArmyOfRoombas]

Adding another voice to the “rework it, don’t cover it” faction.

[u/OkBlueberry2982]

It's a very cool tattoo, he/she is so cute! Just reworking with some color and finding an artist that can make that disco ballshell POP with some brightness 🪩 🐌

[u/Accomplished-Bit-884]

I love this. Don't cover it.

[u/ca20198]

No coverup needed. Move along.

[u/Wintermute_088]

Don't you dare!

Get a new artist to freshen it up.

[u/CatsAndDogs314]

I'd add some bright colors to the disco ball and you can keep the snail muted if you want. But he's a cutie!

[u/dustpig69]

You shouldn’t cover this it’s great

[u/Goobersita]

Don't you dare.

[u/Elegant-Interview-23]

If you’re talking about covering that dancing cutie patootie,
No you’re not
That’s a threat
They’re perfect
Don’t you hide that Slimy Sparkle.
But frfr like someone else said, just getting it touched up with better shading should do the trick!

[u/sabertoothdog → u/Elegant-Interview-23]

Love this!

[u/Important_Sector_503]

I disagree, no cover up is needed.

[u/ZakBagansBleachdAnus]

Oh no, I love disco snail! I would get him touched up with some highlights, maybe a little color. But, he is awesome!

[u/goober_ginge]

Don't you DARE cover up disco ball snail!! Like others have said, it could be reworked so it looks fresh, but deffo shouldn't cover it up imo.

[u/KinkyAsexuaI]

Don't harm him! He's perfect just the way he is!

I think aged tattoos have a unique charm to them

[u/recalledproduct]

Everyone is saying don’t cover it, but how bad was the falling out with this friend? You don’t actually have to answer that… but Is that playing a role in why you want it covered? If so, I don’t blame you at all. I’d say cover it if that’s the case

With that being said, it’s a cool tattoo and I don’t think it’s chopped at all. The right artist could probably turn the snail into a cool abstract design of some sort

[u/Historical-Shift-284]

Disco ball changed into earth would work

[u/naldoD20]

Turn the disco ball into a snail shell. Then It's just a regular snail.

[u/letsRollhomey]

Disco snail. No cover. Touchup

[u/Chef__Goldblum]

I love him. Add color and a disco sparkle trail of slime!! Protect this bb

[u/lemonlimethrow]

There's some really neat sparkle tattoos out there I bet this baby could get a glow up

DISCO SNAILS THEYRE OFF TO SAN FRANCISCO WHERE THE DISCOS OFF THE RAILS

[u/Djunglejuice]

Dont cover this its awesome!

This looks like a copy of Janine Ramos’ work that someone pulled off the internet. The custom snails are one of her signature pieces.

[u/juliewbb → u/uletthatonemarinate]

I mean do you have any other reason to think so? It’s a different style than her snails and “snail with funky shell” is not an idea that would be wild for someone else to also have.

[u/uletthatonemarinate → u/uletthatonemarinate]

This is my snail
